S13 SR20DET Red top (2000 complete swap)
Labor^ : 500-800
Shell: 1000-2000
S15 Conversion: 1300-1500 in total(Headlights/fenders/hood/bumper)
Labor^: DIY + $2-3 for a few sodas on a hot summer day


Now on to my question,
Since I'm going to buy a shell to save a lot of cash,
is there things I should look out for? When should I step away from a shell?

Check some of the local forums. There's a guy on sfldrifters.com that is selling a sr'd s13 for 4k, IIRC its in decent shape. Just be patient and don't rush into anything. I know its easy to get over eager when you have a wad of cash in your hand, but if you don't rush you could probably get a great deal. Remember that ppl are desperate for cash right now and you can score a good deal if you wait for the opp. good luck.
