Not that I want to do this, but I was just wondering. I remember seeing on mazdacomp that I could purchase unibody parts and such. Are there pretty much most of the pieces for the car available for sale new?
Could you, theoretically, build and all-new FC (or any car not still sold new) by buying all the parts from the factory? How much would it cost? ...but then, how much could you sell it for? |
works better for the rx8, cause everything is available still.
assuming you're paying mazdacomp prices, its in the 60k range the whole car you can buy new for like 22k |
I meant for a car that can't currently buy new, possible?

buy a body in white FC

I was wondering the same thing yesterday.

Yup. You can buy a brand new '69 Camaro body now, too! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/bubbrubb.gif And of course, all the rest of it.
It would cost a fortune to build a car from new parts, and the sad thing is, it wouldn't be worth much (if any) more than a decent original car. But that's okay. Just build it and plan to keep it until you kick the bucket and leave it to your kids! |
hang the fc build, could you build a new 20b from new parts? and would it cost less than a $4500 clip?

at this point tracking down things like factory seats and carpets would be really hard, also some of the sheet metal too, like the roof and floors, for an FC/FD. floor pans were never hot sellers, they were like $1500, and you dont need it that much.... seats were in the $3000 range. all the running gear isnt a problem though... |
body in white FTW... no sheet metal problems then.
