Watch out for people breaking a later 240 GLT estate - they mostly had leather and the seats will fit yours, although some tweaking might be needed to make the rear seat work in an early model.

Please post more photos of the car. What are your plans for it?

By the way, I'm making one similar... yours is the real thing of course, but I'm converting a later 240 to look like the early model.

Hey John,

Cheers - I haven't actually seen the car yet, am collecting it on Tuesday.
My first task is to replace the seats. The driver's seat is ratty at the minute, that's as much as I know. I see with your red project car, you're talking about Alfa seats/door panels, is that correct? Have you fitted those in yet? I love the look of those Alfa seats, but would imagine the rear seats would be a hassle to fit, no?
The banana estate comes with a set of 18" alloys. They'll need spacers apparently, but I'd like to sand them down and paint em white. I don't know though about clearance in the arches, but I'll ask around when I locate spacers I suppose!
More photos to come!
