    Ouuuuch on the car... hope your ok...

    I do have a shell which is perfect for rear cut and shut repairs. But you would need someone with bit of time on his hands, I do know U-Pull-it Elizabeth has a perfect shell, that you could do a swap out etc.

    If you do end up stipping it, can you post some pics of the door trims, centre console, glove box lid, fuse panel lid, steering wheel, fog lamp covers, I might be interested.

    Thanks
