Or we could roll it down into the dell in my garden, or maybe if we uncovered the well then we could push it in there...

You can't reshell, the identity of the car must be the new car, all you are doing is putting the mechanicals and whatever else you rescue from the existing car.

That then solves the problem of the new owner of the old shell not having an id, they just keep the original id.

Quite why someone would buy that shell when you are moving it on because its goosed, I've no idea. Matt?

If you have an L reg and buy a V reg, your car is the V reg one, with some old bits rescued.

If Steve is reshelling because his has got holes in the wheel arch, its fit for scrap, not making back in to another car.

I think Rich left his baby alone with the power tools and that was the result... I'm not sure if that was supposed to happen, so they covered it all up with a few pieces of wood.

from memory

the dorr panels are fucked, midas did them

the false floor

the fact they were smothing the rear out, drilled holes out and left them

the half finished and shocking cover for where the wheel well was going to be cut out

the overspray on various parts, the diffrent shades of blue on it
etc etc
