The hunt for a 22B
So I am on the hunt for a 22B and i am really hoping to find one where the drivetrain is missing or not usable. I saw a 22B for sale on this forum (was willing to split the motor and trans from the car) but it was sold. I really would like a shell. I would like to put everything from my RSTI into a 22B. I was wondering if anyone might have any leads or insight.
Just to clarify, i would like a 22B and not a fiberglass/carbon body kit.

Finding a 22b is one thing, let alone finding just a full bare shell! We have 3 replica fibreglass shells at work, one complete running ready to go, one waiting for an engine and one bare ready to build to spec. All type R shells with the 22B kits fitted. Half the price of a genuine one, and readily available

Thank you all for replying!!! 
I do understand it is a tall order, and I figured this is a great place to start. I also understand that it won't be cheap, I will step up if it is right.

Hello Ian! Thank you very much but as hard as the goal will be to accomplish, I am going to stick to my goal. I really want to build a 22B to my specs.
