Found a new shell! It was right under my nose :) well sorta

I had been emailing a guy back and forth on one of the other boards about a car he had. It looked good but it was 1 1/2 away. So I asked him how much and he told me $200 shipped to my door and he is pulling the tranny for me. That tranny and motor was after I went and drove down to see it. I think the big thing was I wanted a better car than I had. After driving the 86 245 around for a week or so I realized that I did not like the extra road noise that the back makes. So took a drive down 1 1/2 hoping that it was a good car. I could not believe it no dents in the doors or the roof only front fender.I am going to update those to 86 and do e codes anyways. The body is clean with not rust. ITs a 83 so I got the bigger dash and I will only have to smog it once more. so going to put a extra cat I got and That will take care of that.
The interior is shot but, but its a AT with no sunroof. I like the sunroofs but i am sure the car was flexing. LOL.
