Does anybody know of a shop or someone around here who can get their hands on an S14 shell? The cost of fixing the rust on my car would probably be the same as getting a new shell so why not start from a better base and re-finish the metal in the underchassis and bushings while your at it...

I literally need only the shell. No interior is needed, no motor/trans, no wheels, no hubs, no brakes, literally just the shell with of course body panels. How much would something like that run me? I see prices for S13s being stupid cheap (like 400 for a shell with no rust...) but I don't want an S13 so I really don't know how prices change for an S14. Anyone know of a shop which could get their hands on something like this or know of someone who has a shell?

Have you tried searching on some of the full blown dedicated Nissan/240 sites like nicoclub & zilvia.net?

I did, and didn't find anything local. Everything was in TX or CA, so thats why I posted here.

That's because it's where the car's aren't going to be rusty lol.

Here you either pay for cleanlieness or take a roadtrip :(

EXACTLY!!! Get your hands on a trailer and try looking down south. That's why I did...although mine wasn't a shell. Same idea though. The south generally = rust free.
