Just Picked Up A Shell

[DSM_IKE]

Just picked up a 91 tsi awd shell the other day, body is in excellent condition with all black interior. I will be in the next month transplanting the heart and guts from my 90 to the 91 as since the 90 was in a front end accident and the front frame is pretty messed up.

When I get ready to swap everything I will be replacing the timing belt and components, crankshaft seal, oil pump, all gaskets, clutch kit, flywheel, cv axles. Here's some pics of the shell I got.

I will be posting a build thread when it comes time to swap everything.

I love build threads i cant ever seem to stay off talk looking at them and other forums. clean shell

 

[Billiam]

CLEAN! How much did you pay for it? (if you don't mind sharing)

 

[DSM_IKE]

Only things missing is the motor, trans, and seats. Thanks for the replies.

BILLIAM- I paid $300 for the car

THAT'S IT???? I should have started with a rolling shell. I am really wanting a 1g soon, it has less rust than my newer 2g! Very good buy and I would love to see her running again.

Yea, not bad considering I pretty much have everything to do the swap already to go, I just need the clutch kit. I've seen shells as clean as this one go for at least 5-6 at the cheaper side.

Looks good, Who'd you manage to pick this one up from?

Kid named Matthew in taylorsville

Looks like a pretty legit shell. Nice find.

My buddy almost picked that shell up right before you did. Looks like you got your work cut out for you.

Yea, it shouldnt be bad though.. Do you know anyone here in utah that might have an engine hoist that i could borrow in a couple of weeks?

 

[Doubleot]

I'm sure there's tons of people that could help you out. Post a Want to borrow add on ksl I'm sure someone would help you out.

Ive got one at my house that you can borrow.

Omar must have forgotten that I have one. Hes probably seen it set up in my garage enough times. Maybe the only time you saw it was when we dropped the engine in the RX-7.

EDIT: my phone got something spilled on it so its currently in K.I.A. status. Youll have to drop by one of these days so you know where I live to pick it up once you need it. Im done with the hoist and engine stand for a bit.
