Should I buy this FD shell for $4000?

Cool, pm sent!

The thing is, I have owned 3 FC's and all of them have been "tore to f***" by previous owners. I don't want to give up rotaries, but I want a "newer" car. I've already had plenty of headaches with my FC's (a lot more than the usual fc owner).

Looking at the pictures it appears OK. I would check and make sure the frame is straight. Most of the interior looks there so that is a big plus. The engine wire harness is another issue. They are ness is >600.00 dollars just for it. If the main wire harness meaning the one that runs completely around the car is cut etc. Then you have a much more difficult (expensive) task. I just finsihed restoring mine from the ground up about 1.5 yrs ago. It isn't cheap, I went with everything new so cost me upwards of 25k. I don't regret it at all. I'm glad to see you want to keep it a rotary. Looks like you will also have an issue with restoring the cutout that was made. That position is where the A/C heater mount under the dash. Good luck and let us know if you pursue this adventure.
