Default Question regarding getting a shell rolling again

I'm probably buying a bare shell and i need to get it rolling. If i were to just by the brake components, the front knuckles, and rear trailer arms, would that make it rollable. Or do i also need the shocks, springs, and lca's. Basically, my question is what is needed to get a bare frame rolling. And the frame is currently in someones driveway in NY but needs to go to Fl. Thanks
Ali

Well with no shocks or springs the control arms would be hitting the fenderwells, especially in the front. Unless you somehow used some 2x4 wood to keep the control arms in a fixed posistion; obviously you just need to able to roll the chassis around.

Really all you'd need are the knuckles, hubs, shocks/springs (a busted set would do, the springs are what holds 'up' the cars weight) and wheels.

What you could do is put the rear wheels on a tow dolly and tow it to FL and not worry about the front susp/kuckle just yet; use a jack to move the front end around.

Thanks for the help.

Anyone got any blown type r shocks specifically the rears. I believe the fronts are interchangable with all the integra's. Someone correct me if i am wrong.
