Default focus rs rolling shell wanted

as title does anyone know where i can find a fully rolling focus rs shell minus the engine , it must have all wiring , brakes , suspension etc etc
the only other thing i aint bothered about being missing is the interior , BUT THE BODY WORK MUST BE IN MINT CONDITION .
or maybe an unfinished project but i dont want to pay top money like some people want for a crash repair i might as well buy a good 43,000 miler which i dont want to cut up as i couldnt bring myself to pay that much money for a side project .
ive seen people wanting £7500 for a crash repair car which is way over the odd imo

if anyone can help let us know with prices please

cheers paul

not so much in cutting it up but more like adding rollcages and some other bits that would simply be not used as a family rs etc , cheers for the info , but iam really want a car where the engine has blown up and he cant be arsed or afford to fix it up.

cheers paul

Strange request.

You want a mint shell but then you are putting a cage in it suggesting it's for a track car?
It'll only be mint on the day you buy it.

You don't want the engine but want all the wiring in it so it sounds like you are going to fit another RS engine.
If not then unless you are putting another transverse engine in it, maybe a 522 Zetec, you'll be cutting the shell.

The only car that would fit your request would be a stolen recovered undamaged partly stripped rolling shell, they'll be next to the rocking horse sh*t and in front of the flock of flying pigs.

The only way you'll get what you're after is to buy a mint complete RS and strip out and sell what you don't need.

why is it a strange request lol ? . if i can get one then fine if not i dont think i would wanna spend £7500 to £11000 to strip it. the plan was to create a fwd monster with the 522 bhp zetec ive got , while still building my 4x4 fiesta , with both cars finally being fully built up and simply swap the engine and management over to each car as and when i want to compete in different events. personally i thought it would be a long shot and your quote above made me laugh i must admit. i think i may buy a standard focus and get some genuine wings slapped onto it as this looks tobe by far the cheaper option

cheers paul
