Default where to get a jdm shell?

I know there are countless engine/part importers out there, but far fewer deal in clips and/or entire vehicles. Where/how does one go about getting a shell imported?

ANyone who has a shell would put it together and drive it. If you search a bit you can find several RHD real and converted cars to buy. Good luck.

not necessarily, its quite a bit more involved than that. To be imported at all the vehicle has to meet certain strict criteria. Then to be registerable to legally drive on public roads it has to meet crash test standards, ALL the usdm emissions bs, DOT ****, etc etc. Only certain cars can legally be imported and even then its a major paperwork nightmare and red tape pain in the ***. Otherwise we'd all be rockin genuine jdm hotness. Its alot easier to get clips and cuts into the country cause technically thats just parts

and anyways I'm looking for something pretty rare and kinda weird, probably something not many peeps already have in the us
