#315221 Hello everyone. I was hopeing i could get your opinion on on a shell on my local craigslist. The hatch i have now need to be re body worked and completely repainted, also my rear hatch does not line up i think because of a previouse accident because the rear bumper was cut out. Anyways im going to take a look at this shell later today and want your opinions on it. I would swap all my good parts onto it.

#315222 i'd find a different shell i think. a more complete one. that isn't wire tucked/shaved.. for the simple fact you can NEVER trust someone elses work. especially when it comes to electrical and cars.

i'd see how much body work is gonna cost you before i shell out $750 for a hatch that still needs work other than tossing a powerplant in and going. because you already know that you have, so why pick up someone elses problems??

#315226 ^^agreed plus that shave looks like a half-assed job.

#315227 Your rear hatch and tail gate can be realigned just like the hood or fenders.
