Looking For Really Cheap R32 Coupe Shell

[johnny_boi85]

hi guys i recently joined the skyline world. I bought a r32 gtst type M. its got a few mods which i wont go into now but it also came with a little rust around the rear quarter panel and boot which im looking at cutting out. but it would make life alot easyer if i could find another 32 coupe to cut what i need off to replace what i take off mine. just wondering if you guys know of a good wreckers or anything i should look at shopping for what i need . i live in the south coast area about 2 hours south of sydney any help would be great

thanks guys

You'll need to post this in the "wanted to buy" section just down in the classifieds.

Also, to be honest I don't think you'll get a shell for as cheap as you're willing to pay. Just a guess.

if its only a little rust then you shouldnt need another shell for rust repair sections. . small bits can be hand fabricated but if you need to do that then the rust is probably in other areas too

Most are little spots that can be patched up but there is one around the boot seal that is a little tricky a cut out would make life alot easyer thanks but

have a look around for a sheet metal worker in your area and they should be able to hand fabricate what you need out of offcuts

for example ive had a rear quarter hand fabricated for my datsun 120Y for $200

Would be the best bet to do something like this.

A decent 32 shell, one that doesn't have already existing rust problems, will probably set you back $1500 to 2k.

easily^^^ any stripped out shells out there would most likely be accident damaged or rusted out anyway
