    I need a shell...

    Just pulled my carpets up and ran into an issue...



    Im short on time and cash honestly, i just bought a house a week ago.

    I have holes, each at least 6 inches across in all 4 parts of the pan, some right on seams... My heater core went and that is why i pulled the carpet... only to find this mess. supposed to go to summit point in November...

    This is how i see my options -

    1. Buy a shell and swap everything (m30, 5 lug etc)
    2. Find a rust free car in the yard and cut and weld the pans into my car
    3. try to patch with regular sheet metal.. not what i want to do
    4. clean the carpet and put it back in for now until i can source a shell and some time...

    Does any one have a shell, i mean a shell. (preferably an early model so i can keep my bumpers and high arches, 2 door or 4 door don't care) I dont need interior, drive line, suspension, anything, all i need is a body with a floor. I can even swap my harnesses if there are none in the car. I honestly don't even care if there is a title or not. As long as there is no rust. I need a solution asap otherwise I am DD my excursion 80 miles a day...

    I have a very nice no rust or dents 87 sedan shell, but it is in Utah!
    The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

        I have a white '84 ETA shell. I *think* the floors are okay. It has some rust at the drivers tail light and passenger above the wheel arch where there is a dent.

        This thing is a shell. No front suspension, stripped interior, no dash, engine wiring, etc.

        It's really a friends, but is kinda mine-ish. If you're interested I'll speak with him as we have another late model rolling shell (also, if you're interested, rust free except one lil spot) we're baking on a M30/M60 swap...

          ok confirm there is no rust under the carpets and maybe send me some pics and i would def be interested. Would you be ok with me bring all my front suspension stuff with me and installing it to tow the car home?

          Pictures of the rust that is there would be awesome.

          Is there body wiring? and how much would you be looking for for either car?
