EliTR6 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi all, A friend has given me first refusal on a TR6 inner shell. I haven't seen it but I'm told it's been rubbed down and has a few rusty areas but no floor or sills. I'm hoping that mixing my bodyshell and this one will allow me to build a complete solid car. Unless they've both rotted in the same places, which is likely... How much should I offer him? Thanks! Eli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EliTR6 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Bastille day hangover here Anyone got a price range in mind for a shell needing work? I need to make an offer today! Thanks E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Eli, it does depend on the condition and as you say the 'new' one may have the same problems as yours. Have a look at it assess the problems. If it is easier to sort the 'new' one then offer £100/200 - the floors and sills will cost a few bob. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 As it has no floors/sills I assume its in two halves. Now you have yours in bits you know where they go rotten so based on that knowledge take a very careful look at it and if its good in the plenum and inner wings/front arches and the rear is good in the "B" post/rear deck/arches/back panel then it could be worth around £500. If one or either section is better than yours then just buy that part be it front or rear and use the rest from yours so then offer half that figure or less. Bear in mind your location and transport costs. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwifrog Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Tell the bloke you will do him a favour and save him the 20 quid it would cost for him to dump it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EliTR6 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks guys! We've settled on 200EUR including delivery. But the chap is going to some see my car first so we can work out if it's going to be of any use. Must admit, I'm thinking of testing the water and selling the car, chassis and 2nd shell together to someone with more time and patience than I have and spend the money on a running TR. I miss driving mine! E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
