Re: FS: 1995 civic coupe shell in Minnesota (paul vang)
I'm still interested, but can you give me a better price? Does it come with the radiator and everything else that's missing in the front (except bumper)?
No offense but find one in MN cheaper than this with the same body condition and I'll give it to you for $100. All I see posted in car ads and everything are beat up rusted shells still selling for around the same price I want for mine. Mine has been fixed professionally, not just bondo'd.
No it doesn't have the radiator and the AC stuff is gone.

sorry to say but what do you think professionals use?
they're just better at matching body lines

yes, of course they use bondo to smooth it all together. What I mean is that they don't just slap a ton of bondo over the whole rusted up area to cover it up. The car started the surface rust again because the owner before me didn't care for it enough in the winter. I have a panel to replace the the rear key hole for the trunk so that is pretty much it.

well, here in 55106 area code, it books for 2500 with a running drivetrain. Maybe you accidently clicked trade-in value

Re: (.Beaver)
he mentioned running drivetrain. So I gave him that, A quote for a running car. Hum, $1000 for this shell
$500 for SOHC swap
$50 for front bumper
$100 to paint trunk
Wow beaver, it's way over $2500

Re: (paul vang)
Like I said, You tow me a shell in this condition and this model year for under $1000 to prove that these cars are selling for the $300-500 you guys claim and I will hand you the keys
