He said the driver side of the 240 is toast from the fender and driver
door. That would make the integral side view needed instead of the
stalk side view the 220 has. He could use the old door and fender, but
the better body seems to be the 220 not the 240. My car, I would drop
the engine and trans into the 220.

Usually you let the condition of the rust and paint determine
which is the donor, and what gets donated. Engine swaps are easy
compared to much bodywork. Tranny type swaps are also doable,
so long as it's not a column shift vs floor!
