too many haters, they just say that because you can get a RHD shell for $700 drop a motor interior and a front end and bam! still cheaper than buying a 240sx and converting it. i say buy it fix it, drive it get it rear ended and have insurance pay for a new rear end.

thats dishonest man, make sure you get all the pictures so you can show them to the insurance company when the car goes missing.

so some say yay, some nay. well naysayers out number the yeses... its almost a toss up... i agree i dont like the rear end. and i have yet to look at the shell to see if its viable. but ill go and take pics and post them for a better concensus of opinions...

There are NO redeeming qualities about that shell. It looks horrible. Why buy and build up a shell that needs work?

Sounds like you want it, and just want more people to validate your decision.

i'll sell you one of my s13's in Baltimore!

Hey guys I am NOT serious about the insurance part, but even though the rear end is I would consider buying as long as the car has the steering rack, I'd rock a rhd 240 for that price, then again I got everything else to complete the car

Put an LSX in it, raise the front and lower the back, paint hearts and tiger paws on it and do wheelies.

i do want a rhd car... maybe just for the novelty value. but im not set on this particular shell... it was cheap and something i can devote some time to... but i dont think ill end up getting something that need SO much extra work...and i do have my reservations about the rear end. not the prettiest at all.

thanks again.
