kuddie96 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Old girl needs a new shell. Had an accident few weeks back, front passenger door stuffed. Engine is perfectly sound, still drives well though not road worthy. Cant let go of this one. Edited November 5, 2014 by kuddie96 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 Why a complete shell changeover for a front door needing replacing, even if some structural/body repair also required? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kuddie96 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Too much structural damage to repair, so want to put what I can in a new body. She was a perfect running beamer. I am in love with this car to turn her into a project. Determined to have her restored. Edited November 5, 2014 by kuddie96 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 I see, more than a door as you mentioned. Actually worse than a hit i took in the race car - my A pillar was still relatively straight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuddie96 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Yeahp, Drove her a few days ago to get her into storage. Still runs perfect apart from the passenger side being a 'tad' stuffed. been looking like crazy for a chassis for her. she had mint interior, no dash cracks, no rips, very well looked after.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted November 6, 2014 Find a complete car. Easier than just a shell. A cheap 318 auto in good condition. Then swap all your bits over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted November 6, 2014 Then at least you can drive it to your place before stripping it. Can sell all the bits after. And it will prob still be registered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
