Good Morning Folks;
With regards to my recent posting we have started to look for a replacement for my son's departed '88 240 5 speed wagon. we have found an '83 coupe and I wonder what the major chassis differences are between the '83's and the '88's. Barrie's car was well sorted out with a strong engine and 5 speed transmission. Would the 5 speed from the '88 swap into the '83? Engine parts? Both cars are non turbo. We just put new brakes, discs and calipers on his car and 4 new tires this past Wednesday, they had less than 200 miles on them.

Regards and thanks;
Mike Coleman
