HQ Sedan shell - opinions on price wanted

Hi all, I am clearing out some parts cars (or what is left of them) and one of those is a HQ sedan. Is was "apparently" a genuine GTS/4 but as it has no ID tags I guess that is irrelevant. It certainly had all the right parts on it. Anyway it is a pretty good shell. Some minor rust in the usual places (dog legs) and from memory one or both of the front floor pans has been replaced in the past. Overall though it is a very good shell. It will be sold as an absolute bare shell. Nothing but the shell and the subframe. No suspension, no running gear, no panels. Nothing at all. Is it worth anything? Any opinions on value? Id rather not see it scrapped but due to have been on a spending splurge buying more cars this week I would like to rescue the bank balance (as well as needing the room). Any and all opinions appreciated. It's the shell on the left. http://i11.photobucket.c...omad2004/file_36951.jpg
