Wanted - 2+2 shell

[sexual_sushi]

Hi guys, finally have some money to look at replacing the body on my daily driver, a 74 2+2.

Ideally looking for another 74 2+2 with little to no rust (but will definitely consider other years). I don't need anything else but if it's rolling, I'm sure it would help for transport.

Ideally in Queensland but will consider other states if the price is right (especially the Z mecca down in Victoria ).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If a cop pulls me over, my car will probably be off the road.

Where the hell are you going to find a 74 with little or no rust. I have one if you want to check it out. Needs work but you may be able to salvage it. Very cheap also. Parts car that will go to the dump when stripped. Give us a shout.

Unfinished projects. Believe it or not there have been a few over the years, I just didn't have the money then. I might have got my hands on one atm, should be picking it up next week hopefully but this might all fall through so keep on posting if you have one.

Peter where's the rust in yours? My main concerns are the beaver (or slam) panel where the hatch closes, the hatch hinges and then anything in the chassis rails. Sounds like it might be a bit too much work, but thanks for the offer. I take it all of the panels have rust? I.e. no good guards or hood or hatch etc?

Haha I like to think it's air-con for the feet

Is that because I make the bed... rock?

Its not good mate that why it's my parts car. I have seen worse out there but you seem to be in a hurry for a good one. Like I said it will go the dump when I strip it unless someone wants it.

That would be very cool. Let us know how it turns out.

haha, I can see what's going to happen to my parts car!!  But wasn't that the plan for the Celica? And we could tow it behind the Z to Toyota meets? lol. Kidding, that last part would be a bit mean

The Trailer Option sounds cool man. Kind of like this Mini I found the other day.

You could also turn it into a sofa for your apartment.

You might be better off fixing up your shell, as most will have rust in the same places. Betweeen allzcar, rare spares and ebay you can get pretty much all the panels. It would prob not be much more work than switching all the gear across to a new shell. Cheers.

My parts car is going to be a trailer or maybe a small caravan. Make that a camper trailer. What do you think lads?

[sexual_sushi]

Haha I'm all for over the top trailer co-coordinating, seems to be quite the thing for people with Mini's to do. Have seen a few in my time.

But anyway Greg and I drove to Lismore today to pick up a shell. Overall pretty good condition, you can see where the plates have been welded in. Only real problems are the doors and the spare wheel well has been cut out and the hole filled. Easy fix though.

Now I need to buy myself a decent Mig and a compressor and I'll be good to go...
