So... I live in Minnesota which is hell on my Celica. My body is not too bad in terms of rust, but the underside is getting pretty nasty. I am struggling to find motivation to do anymore to my car knowing how rusty it is. I am looking for either a rolling shell or a car that does not run. The body does not need to be in great shape, just rust free. I am not looking to pay more than 800-900. I just need a solid body that I can swap everything over to.

Try about $800-1,000 if the body is nice and the title is clean, as I've considered finding a GT with a blown/sick motor to drop in a 1MZ. Also why I said IF it was surface rust, we'll have to wait for the OP to clarify. If it's eaten through then he needs to stop driving it and start over since no one makes floor pans etc... for it. No kidding rust isn't fun, it's why I'll never move north. Down here if the car has the slightest bit of rust no one wants it. Of course classic cars excluded. When I joined car forums and saw what Northern members would consider normal I couldn't believe it, and I still really don't. That's ok I've seen a few cars on eBay up north with rust and they'll be wanting just as much if not more than what one rust free locally would go for, I can't help but shake my head.
