WANT MK1 chassis, no title needed!

Guero · 08-18-2010, 02:18 PM

Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone here can help me, I'm looking for a clean straight chassis to build a Euro RallyCross car on. I don't need a title, working drivetrain, or even perfect body panels. I'm looking for a fairly rust-free chassis that is free of damage. All I've been able to find are cars in too good of condition or rust buckets. Depending on what you have I'm willing to spend up to $500 If you have a stripped out parts car you need gone I can come remove it for you!

I'm located near the middle of VA.

Thanks!

I think I may have found something locally, but just in case, I may be willing to pay more than $300 for a decent chassis! I'm sure someone out there has a decent shell sitting around!

scottohno · 08-26-2010, 07:48 PM

unfortunately theyre either rusty or 3-4 times what you want to pay around here.

I've noticed. :/ Well I wont spend the money to buy a nice one just to tear it up! I may settle for one of the rusty ones I've found on Craigslist, planning to strip it down anyways.

I hope to truly join the community soon. I've wanted one of these for a very long time..

i just sold my car, but it was for $400 and some subs and an amp. it did have a good suspension, brakes, and engine though. and a brand new clutch

Guero · 08-31-2010, 06:33 PM

Ah man, I may have actually gone for that! I raised my price a little just to see if I can get any offers!

Guero · 09-02-2010, 05:36 PM

Well I think I found my chassis, $300! I haven't bought it yet, but when I do, expect a build thread. Its a little rough around the edges, and has a blown motor, but that's just fine because of its intended purposes.

I also found a pair of 3vz-fe motors.

scottohno · 09-02-2010, 06:23 PM

too bad youre not around here. id do a v6 swap for the helluva it.

Guero · 09-02-2010, 06:55 PM

Well I plan to fully cage the car first, so it's still a long ways off. Really hoping to extract a lot of power from these motors though!

I had a question, I was researching more on Wikipedia and ran into an issue. One motor I found was in a 93 camry, and the other was in a 94 Camry. After reading through the Wikipedia on the motors, I realized the 94 is supposed to have the 1mz-fe in the US, correct? Doesn't this look like a 3vz-fe to you?

scottohno · 09-02-2010, 07:34 PM

well maybe if you werent scared and took pics that werent miles away...

Guero · 09-02-2010, 07:50 PM

Well the first picture is the same car! :P

There ARE rattlesnakes in that yard BTW.

scottohno · 09-02-2010, 08:36 PM

either way i know nothing of either motors

i was looking for a badge.

Guero · 09-10-2010, 06:06 PM

Going to pick it up Tuesday!! I was surprised to see it runs and only has 120k miles on it! The rust is a little bad on the rear left, but planning to strip the paint and do major work to the body anyways. Come Tuesday I'll be an official member!

scottohno · 09-10-2010, 10:03 PM

ugh you call THAT bad rust? you obviously didnt see my black car. it had that rust, the side skirt triangle rusted off, on both sides, i could stick my arm in the trunk and reach through to the outside with no problem. the passenger floor had a hole in it, (actually how i found my heater core problem.)

it was bad.

Guero · 09-11-2010, 10:03 PM

Sounds like unrepairable rust there, this one is only an 89 so the rust shouldn't be TOO bad. I'm hoping theres none hidden on the car anywhere. I'll find out as I start stripping it! Are the N/A motors and transmissions worth anything? It only has 120k miles on it.

scottohno · 09-11-2010, 10:50 PM

ehh you can get a bit for it, prolly $300 or so depending on mileage
