Troy says you have a tornado about 2 miles south of your house. DO NOT send that thing this way. Oh, and take cover.


Correction, its just a "rotation" at this point in time. Still don't need it here.

LOL !!

Duck!! It does not sound good right now!

hmmm..I think I bought a 80 rolling shell from Jimmy off eBay about 2 years ago. Nice Guy. Is he the Battery Man?

That's him. MGB horder and SU guy, too.

Hi Rick,

How did you make out with that? As I remember you just wanted supension pieces, and that was a great body.

All I lack is garage space. I'm trying to convence Nancy we need to move to a house with a bigger garage. She just doesn't understand.

Turned out to be a good story. I'm using the rear axle and the hubs to convert mine from wires, doors had crack of doom, but used some metal from one of the doors to fix the COD in my passenger door. Took both front fenders and cut the turn signal area out and welded in the turn signal area from my 74. I still had to replace lower rear portion of both fenders tho. I was tempted to use part of the driver rear fender on my car, but I just didn't have the heart to hack up such a good shell. The thing had about a 1/8 inch of what appeared to be white rustoleum on it, but it was really solid. I hung onto the shell for about 9 months and finally found someone in Houston with a wrecked '80 that needed a shell. His dad flew up here and rented a u-haul truck and drove it back. Sold it to him for a buck because he thought it would be bad luck to take it for free. Haven't talked to him since, but I bet he got the thing running.
here's some pics of the fender work before grinding and cleanup. After a little plastic and primer, you cant tell they were RB fenders.

I keep trying to convince Sheila that we need to get rid of 2 houses, and get a real garage!!
