adz the stig Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The welding needed on my car is just to much. So I’m on the look out for a rust free shell. I realise it’s a lot to ask for. Mine is a 86 gte coupe. Please get in touch with what you have. Thanks everyone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Too much for you or too much generally ? I only ask because it not impossible to have a fully stripped shell welded up professionally, an outfit like RetroPower could do a fantastic job of sorting it out. Its a big spend but then so is a new (almost certainly unobtainable) or good shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz the stig Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 To much for me. Plus I wrote it off so it need checked out. It’s been repaired but the other side is melting away. I also live right at the top up by Kinlochbervie north west Scotland. It’s just over facing me. I wont scrap the old shell I’ll sell it to some one far better than me for sorting, rallying or cutting up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Ahh, ok, still, I would get a good fabrication workshop to fix it, anyone worth the money will have a jig and be able to true the body with no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
