A good shell for $300 US?

**rubberburner** · 04-12-2003, 08:25 AM

ok, i have an 86 lx. it's got a good motor, tranny, and wheels. but the body is rusted beyond repair. is it possible to find an accord (or even a prelude) that has little or no rust, and has a missing or shot motor/tranny for under 300 US?

Thanx, James

I think that'll depend on where you're from or where you wanna get the car from.

Check autotrader, junk yards and ebay sometimes.

There are a TON of parts cars on eBay right now. A lot of them have no bids and are around 100 dollars. I say go for it.

try and get one from like florida so the body will be nice.

Yeah the ones here in Washington suck big time. Salt water, rain, mud, you name it. Mine's actually rust free except for a bubble on the wheel well. So you may get lucky.

i have a 88 accord lxi body...needs front suspension and a quater panel(hit hard) no rust...for 150...pick up only

I have almost the whole body. Heres what I have...fenders(both sides, doors(all 4), hood, front and rear bumpers and covers, rear trunk, the whole shell otherwise. the only things missing are headlights, taillights and thats pretty much it.

Do you still have the tranny? IF so is it auto or 5 spd?
