LF: 89-91 Legacy Shell (clean)

I'm looking for an "extra" clean shell. Can be any Legacy trim; Turbo, L, LS, LSI or the 2wd version.
Pre-Facelift (89-91), Sedan ONLY.
No crash damage, no rust through. Rear quarters/wheel arch intact. (Front fenders, hood can be rusted as those can be replaced.)
Pinch lip (bottom of rocker where you jack) needs to be straight. No damage floor pans.
No welded hitch on tow hooks.
The suspension, engine, tranny can be shot as they will be discarded.
A running car would be easier to move, but transport can certainly be arranged.
Don't care about the interior condition, but if by any chance it has manual winding windows,
this would be perfect. (So door cards must be "clean and complete").
Don't care about the bling bling etc... Don't try to sell me your cool mag wheels and modified
engine and extra loud stereo or chrome exhaust... Don't need any of that.
If possible, located in Canada or somewhere on the East coast of the US. But open to offers from
rest of the US (where they don't use salt on the roads in winter ).

No one ?
I'm a bit disappointed by the biggest BC Legacy community. No shell offers yet for my special project.
Help

Quebec = Rusted to death unless under 100 000km
1994 = Exactly what I'm not looking for.

You're going to have a very difficult time finding a pre-facelift sedan shell that doesn't have rust on the wheel wells and has perfectly straight pinch welds. Especially in the region where you live. Good luck with the search

Really tough search, I have a '92 shell (not what you want) and is very straight with no rust, but I also live very very far away from you. Might be cheaper to start trolling craigslist for Arizona, Nevada and California for a decent bodied car with a blown engine or trans and have it shipped. Normally no rust around here and they go for cheap. Seen some for $400-500 USD that were in great shape body wise. Be very unlikely you'll find one in the US with manual windows however.

i have a 1991 legacy SS turbo. wingless trunk but i can include the dented winged trunk. ej22t, 5mt(1st gear bad) rear wheel drive converted. runs and drives great. actually the motor is rebuilt less than 300 miles ago. kinda got discouraged when i put the turbo 5mt in and first was bad. you can drive it home no probs.
idk make an offer if your willing to drive down. its a little closer than las vegas
pics
just realized all the pics are deleted. but i have two 91's. one is my daily, pictured the other is gonna be my track car. i would like to get around 1500-1700 for it in current shape. body is good, very minor rust on driver front fender. and a few dings on the doors. everything works though....except first gear. new clutch kit and all that. i love these things, and pre-face lift is awesome, love the back ends.
this is my daily

I'm sure you know this, but you can convert a pre-face to a post facelift car and vice-versa.
