Guys, I need a 70-74 shell for my 73 2.0. I keep discovering new rust issues. The thing is swiss cheese! Still, I love the car. Rather than spending $5000 on rust repair and paint--how about a roller? Anybody got one of these mythical shells or are they a myth? The guy who sold me this thing is definitely going to hell!

I've always fantasized about being able to offer fully dipped, rust repaired and fully painted shells built to order. But there aren't many people that understand the value of an $8000 bare tub. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

When I was looking out to California for tubs, I believe Rich @ HPH said that he had "several".

I've fantasized being able to get one. If it wasn't that most of us are perpetually broke, you could make a good living at that. It is a good price. |

There is a part number for a body in white from the factory: 91450100311
AA and PP both list them as special order, but they do list them for like $7k to $8k depending on early or late. Pelican's listing for a shell Anybody know if you can actually get one? I found this through partpricer.com, which also interestingly lists a /6 motor for about 10k. If you really wanted an original car... |

Wait a second here. If one can get a painted shell for 7k that's less than it costs to restore a shell by miles. If it is a painted tub and not just primered it's screaming deal. A good paint job is at least 5k and that's if the car is not too f$cked up. Why was I not told? Do you think they actually have these shells? If so how many are there? I would think they would sell out pretty fast.

A factory shell for $7K I really doubt it, five years ago I called up the dealer and asked for a factory floor pan.
After the guy at the parts counter stopped laughing, he told me it was $8K Can and that was back then... It's probably one of those parts that needs to be priced before to put the order in and comes from Germany. So I would better let Porsche support shipping on that thing. We can always ask Partsman. |

'Body in White' means that it's been primed, but not painted. At least, that's what it means around Detroit.
When Karman sold bodies to VW-Porsche and Porsche did they paint them too, or just put them on the truck in primer? Anybody got pictures? |

Doods, when I was looking (pre-internet) for a 914 transaxle, the Ft. Liquordale dealer quoted me.. (if you are eating, drinking, or popping pills, swallow now..)
$16,800.00 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) I bought Hemmings, and within a day, I bought a mintish Delphi 2.0, 42k/m, with every option, for $450.00... whew... M |
