I as of today bought a 01 nbp shell from Missouri but carfax says it was stolen in sept of last year in okc and that's where the car has spent it's whole life according to carfax... It's been repainted and has a damn moonroof ... Wanted to post and see if maybe someone knows anything about the car or a previous owner

 

you need to contact the police, it may have been stolen and then recovered, and be a salvage title, by doing the right thing and turning it over to the police if it is stolen, you will remove yourself from possible legal issues. Even if it has been stolen, if it's just a shell, the owner may turn title over to you, just to save the trouble of recovering it. Even if the insurance company owns it, they may sell it to you cheap for salvage

 

Contact the police and handle it the correct way to avoid trouble. Let us know the outcome.

 

I bought it and I have the title ... I actually bid on the shell when copart had it

 

Lol yea I bought it From a back alley dealer at 3 am... This was the shell on eBay... Totally a legit sale ...

 

i think he's just trying to get some more info on the shell guys. LOL

Pretty sure he picked it up through iaai and is searching out its history.

gl OP, Doespike is prob your best bet for info. PM him and see what you can come up with.

 

Shell was bought from eBay threw a dealer in Missouri .. I have talked to joe and we talked and shared what info we had ... That's why in posting here I know enough info I'm just mainly wanting to know heR badge number

 

Pictures or it didn't happen.

 

CALL THE POLICE!!! WHY? CUZ **** IT SO DO IT

 

From when I picked heR up...

The proper USDm front will go back on along with the b18 and yea it's a gsr... Gtfo

 

Ouch. Aftermarket sunroof put in by some misguided owner. You leaving it or putting on a new roof skin?

 

New oem roof skin will go back on!

 

Sounds like you have a good plan. Post the updates as you can. Good to see these cars brought back from the dead in the proper way

 

Thanks! Yes I have the PY to drive so I'll be able to take my time and do it right and oem

 

Nice!

 

N4 this build.

 

I misunderstood him too, it's a car fax saying it had been stolen in the past, not currently stolen. It was probably recovered by the insurance company and sold at auction with a salvage title

 

and watch for trees this time

 

lot of work to do but a good project,,

 

Sounds like you're doing all the right things. Glad to see you won't ruin an R chassis with a JDM front conversion, IMO they do look better but I'd put it back to stock. Same goes for the engine, keep it as original as possible if you can.

 

Bump good project shell
