FWD/AWD differences

[Khadgar]

My strut tower rust on my car is becoming considerably bad on both sides, and now my doors are starting to rust apart, just out of curiosity I was thinking about picking up a shell down south, the only way I think this would be finiacally feasible is if it is possible to use NT shells. Is this possible? I would assume it would also need to be a 5spd, if i would have to get a awd 5spd to make it work I really don't think it would be worth the time so I am just throwing this up to anyone who might know.
