Default 2wd saff shell *updated*

What the going rate at the mo for a saph shell?
(One thats not full of rust and filler like mine!)

N/S/R qtr needs replacing, it dont line up properly and has been badly repaired at some point (can see the line of filler across tyhe c pillar and bare weld under the door rubber ans its rusty roung the arch)
O/S/R qtr has a load of plop in it (which had cracked cause of something heavy in the bott hitting it from the inside )
O/S sills got a 18 inch hole in it and both inner arches need doing.
Fronts perfect though


Advice please peeps

That'll teach me to buy with my head in stead of my heart
The whole n/s/r qtr dont line up with the rest of the car!! the rear qtr sits about 5 mm higher along the swage line and the sills have rusted right through both sides, I reckon it's gonna be cheaper to reshell than repair it all properly. Be quicker too.

If anyone sees a flint grey shell i'll have it (wont have to paint it then!!)

reshell it mate, it sounds like the current one is way beyond cost effective repairing
