How much to pay for a VERY rusty HZ?

if you have read the rebody thread you know my opinion on reshells...

as for price...you pay what your budget will allow.:knockout:
.if you are comfortable with money then cost is not the factor and its passion that will determine the price..

HK, doesn't mean that you still can't fake one. Especially if you know the secrets..

Mook has upgraded the opening of a can of worms into a bucket of worms.

Johan, if it's the car you want, and if it needs a new shell to save it from becoming scrap I say go for it. It's not like you can walk into the dealership and order one up.

(I don't see people complaining to much about fiberglass shells for hot-rods and fj40s, hell, if I could buy a new shell like you can for a muscle car in the states I wouldn't be thinking too long about that decision.)

What it's worth will be somewhere between what you want to pay and what the buyer wants for it.

I agree with OZbox.

Pay what its worth to you. Dont listen to what people think. Its worth what you think it is to you. =)

Thanks everyone for all the comments and opinions. I'm pretty sure I will go ahead if I can get it for a fair price and it checks out. I need to go back and have a good look at what's actually usable.

HK - Thanks I will send you the pix I have of plates (Need to get em off phone first). I had a look last night and it turns out it was originally 253 4spd. SO yeah - It will need some investigation

True, but i'm not about to publish a how to! Some stuff is not to be published, web or book. Too many lowlife scammers out there that would use the info to sell mocked-up fakes on Ebay and play dumb about the vehicle. Most people here won't get caught but it is still a major time waste and obscures the "big picture" by muddying what is left of the Sandman pool.
