Hi guys my my 2003 blob electric blue shell is basically completely rotten , I’m thinking of reshelling it ,does anyone know who sells shells rolling or bare?, and whether it would be possible to swap everything over to a non turbo shell or even a classic?, looking at possibly getting one next year got a budget of £1500 or will I need more?. Cheers guys

Bare shells can be bought from Matty on here (MB Developements).

It is possible to swap the newage stuff into a classic shell, quite a few youtube videos on it. Don't forget you will need things like door cards etc, things you can't use on a classic. Depending on how complete the classic shell is depends on how much u will exceed the £1500 budget.

Speak too matty at pole position as already said above mate. Usually has a few decent shells in that are being stripped down for parts. Should get a decent shell for that price tho

Forgot about them (Pole Position) they should also have shells. The going rate for a new age shell stripped was £500-£800 so well within budget. You might even get them cheaper.

Matty breaks them all the time.

As above matt Baker sells great stuff. I bought a bugeye spec c shell off him earlier this year. Better than described. Great guy to deal with and his stuff is always really good.

I don't get why a Scoob with a decent shell and without the rear turrets usual death-knell rot mot fail be finding it's way into a breakers yard?... 🤔... everything else can be fixed, right?

Because the cars are worth much more money in parts than as a whole....

Yup you can fix an engine.... But a rotten body not so much..... If at all

Only if the parts exceed the worth of the car.

Most modified stuff will break for more than the cars value as a whole in my experience

jjonathan

ah okay I quite fancy a classic again so that might be worth looking at👍

jjonathan

yeah I think I’m gonna go to him for a shell as he sells pretty decent parts 👍

jjonathan

I’ve asked pole position they don’t break cars anymore which is a shame .
