Gonna whore this out in this thread too. Needs a little more low.
 
Just got the 90 245 back together after the new paint. It needs a full detail of course and there's some small areas of overspray I need to take care of. But overall, very happy with it for the cost. After a couple more weeks I can paint the lower body molding dark grey, like I did on the 91 wagon. I also plan on getting Dave Barton's vinyl trim for the B and C Pillars. Undecided about the shoulders. I like the way it looks as is.

The 780 turbine wheels are gorgeous on a 240

Looks good as is. I'd leave it without the trim tape that goes below the scraper seal mouldings. Probably would've also looked good with the lower moulding trim clip holes filled in. Car would've looked like a pre-'86 Euro 245.

BTW: the 1975-78 240/260 horn bracket works on the late 240s as well. Shown behind the grille of my family's old '92 245 in the pic below...

They used to look better when I first had them powder coated. I'm disappointed that they have dulled and gotten darker over the last year despite only washing with soap and water. I wanted them to contrast against the car. Maybe I'll get them painted sometime. Here's how they looked at first.

Thanks John. What's the advantage of the earlier horn bracket?
