My shell has alot of rust/rot in places but if your serious about rebuilding a car from shell up then its something that comes with the territory i'm afraid.
PS. I am currently cutting up my CQ shell for spare panels for my shell. I will double check what I need but for a small fee to cover cutting bits out I can supply most areas needed. Shell is (bare the rear panel) pretty much rust free and was cut up due to rear quarter damage and the need for spare sections for my WR shell.

As Jay says, seldom will you gain by buying another stripped shell, after all, it's been stripped for a reason... Subframe mounts can be rebuilt... What man maketh, man can maketh again, so to speak.... But think carefully about what you want, if the shell is rusting through, it needs to be stored 'to the best of your ability', so in a building or covered, covered in waxoil or just soaked in rust-proofing type products. Don't worry if it's a pig to remove the stuff in a couple of years time, because however hard it is to remove, it's easier than repairing rampant corrosion.
