WTB: 240 shell

[sleeper108]

alright, I'm just looking to buy a shell for now. interior i really could care less about. I prefer to have either an s13 hatch or fastback, or an s14. i do not care if the car is running, would like the exterior to be in at least decent condition (some dings here and there are alright, but nothing major)

I live in New Mexico, so i can drive up as far as Denver, and about as far over as Austin ( but that's pushing it) As of right now i only have ~$750.00 to spend, but i figure if i start looking now, then i at least know what is out there.


pics a great help. thanks!

seems my work is not wanting to work me a couple weeks, cause of the economy apparently.

I'm still looking, but i might just be a little lower on price. will know with my next paycheck though!

alright so i found my project car!!!

i found it in town, and through some simple persuasion I managed to get some money from my brother, and some temporary loans from friends for a shell here in Albuquerque for $2,000.00.

out of my price range? yes
Am I crazy? possibly
Is it worth it? i do believe so

however, he said i could give him payments as long as I have all his money to him within a couple months (so im not doing tons of day labor, and working extra shifts at work) I will post my new baby as soon as possible i plan on taking him the down payment this friday hopefully.

pics, to come and I know i will be asking plenty of questions, i know it.

$2,000 for a shell? That is ridiculously too high of a price even if its an S14. Shells only should be like $500, S13 of coarse. It better be running and come with all interior intact with minimal problems for $2,000.
