Since I always wanted a 242 in the first place, and my wife loves the 244, I might be using this shell for the engine swap. As far as suspension, does everything swap back over from 1980 to 1989?
Yep, I am almost done moving the suspension from a '90 over to my '78 242. The late-style front strut housings/spindles are better than the early-style, too, since they have a larger wheel bearing. Swap the vented rotor setup over while you have everything out . Everything has been a direct swap so far, aside from the brake line fittings being different (check, but I think '80 is past the changeover date so you are good to go).
I had to install all of the '78 suspension on the '90 (so it could be towed away), and it all fits just fine. Same exact parts. I guess there is one small difference - torque rod bushings.
Very cool find! I am currently in the market for one of those grab handles! It is not everyday that you find a 242 with so many awesome options!
The stripes look very accurate in the shape. They must have bought the stripe kit and used a different pinstripe for what wouild have been the orange part.
While I am in the welding and cutting mood.....but cheek delete?
