Your vehicle looks great....

why a donor shell??

I believe You will be hard pressed finding another shell/body..
in good condition... maybe Bali-Indonesia etc...??

best of Luck

Both of those above would be in pretty good nick, I've seen Steve's and it's quite rust free, just some panel damage from a bit of a knock LH front.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
