Speaking of new shells reminds me when I worked at the parts warehouse in the Nissan factory. We used to get complete shells - for insurance jobs and the rally team and they used to get transported to wherever on the back of a lorry.
We had a new starter who we asked to find a plastic bag for a Primera shell (in the warehouse there were hundreds of plastic bag sizes) and then box it up! Poor bloke spent ages sellotaping bags together then trying to build a crate around it [B)]
