Hey Guys,

I was just sat here wondering as all the old S12 and S13 have slowly been smashed to pieces over the years, all we really have left for a reasonable price is rust. I'm pretty sure the US has more 180sx, 200sx and 240sx then the UK but over here a half rusted out running CA18DET S13 is around 9K. SR20DET start at around 12K. To get a decent rolling S13 shell in the UK is around 6K minimum.

Could Nissan Start making old shells for old cars? Surly the presses that made the plated for the chassis to be welded still exists in the world, surly they could make on demand shells?

Has anyone ever thought about mashing shells together? any companies that make new shells or even though abound making your own pipe shell, welding plates over it and putting the panels on that to make some franking S13?
