Argh. 100's of NA's and only a handful of 51's. A lot of them are over priced in my opinion too. Seriously. I found a few that were priced ok but either no reply yet or they look like crap. One of them was hit, left rear, by a guard rail at the track. The owner says the repair was well done. I dont know if I trust it though. Another we all saw looked to have damage right from the pic.
If I had no choice,... would using an NA be a good idea? Would it be any harder to move my stuff over to it than if I got a 51? When it comes to strength,... both chassis are the same or the 51 chassis is stiffer? I plan on replacing all wires, hoses, and stuff of that nature. The nose on my car is in good shape so I have that. I would just need the rear valance to complete the look right?
The NA's are sure as hell a lot cheaper too. That would leave me with more money to modify. What do you guys think?

Well I dont really want to sell my car. I want to keep it. This is why I have been fighting to keep it. The only thing I want to know is whether or not the NA chassis is less stiffer/ rigid than a 51 chassis. I plan on removing all the NA body features replacing them with the 51 features. So really no one would ever know anyways.

Not really wanting a cab plus its crazy far. I have a TON of NA's locally. For even cheaper and some of them are actually nice.

Charles call Ken at PADDOCK 148 MAPLE AVE HAVERSTRAW N.Y. 10927 845-709-5935. I bought a turbo from him, and he had a 89 Turbo S rolling shell with interior for sale. I think he was asking $1000 for the shell, but probably he'll get the price down. Good luck.

I found a possible good 951. Lots of extras, autopower rollcage, koni adjustables all the way aroundbrand new stage2 clutch lightened flywheel, no scratches dings and dents to be found, 5 point harness seat belts and mom racing seats the list goes on. engine doesnt turn over. Asking 4000. Lives a couple of hundred miles away. im wondering if I could rent a trailer and tow it with a jeep liberty 3.6L V6? Sent him an emal. The date on this listing is 2010-05-04. im assuming thats may?

Ok thanks V2Rocket. So,... how many of you lowered a tranny with a regular car jack? I have a feeling I know what you all are going to say. Do I really need a tranny jack to do this?
