R34 Shell?

[_5C077Y_]

Hey guys, might be a silly question but I'm looking at options for my next project build. Just wondering how hard it is to get an R34 2door shell, straight or with repairable damage and what I'd be expecting to pay for one, the more complete the better, engine and box not needed. Or should I just look at buying a cheap 34 and selling the engine, box and whatever else i don't need?

You'll pay $15k for a good GTT and recoup maybe $4-5k by flogging everything you don't need.

$10k for a rolling shell is pretty darn pricey. You might be able to find something with damage but it's likely a lot of the stuff you need will have been stripped (brakes, diff, lights, decent panels). This would probably be the cheapest option provided you can pull it straight and bolt panels back on yourself.

What project are you planning?

brother has a built VX commodore that's hardly been used, he's sick of and wanting to sell to me cheap, I've always wanted to do the conversion...

Consider buying a VL Commodore shell, will cost about a tenth of the price of an R34 and you should be able to get info and parts for the conversion a lot easier, plus a VL sedan weighs as much as a 180sx (about 200kg less than an R34 GTT). You could also go VB to VK but you will need to run a fuel pump and lines for the injection. Just an idea.
