Most will be repaired or re-shelled at this early stage, but good luck with your searching....

repaired yes.. reshelled no. its actully illegal to reshell everywhere apart from tasmania.

BTW there was a calais V V8 with SS-V 19s at fowles a few weeks ago hit pass side not a huge amount of damage and pulled big dollars from memory.

If that's actually true, with Tassie's rather small population, it makes me really wonder why Holden would go to the trouble of keeping a number of current model body shells on the rack at HSPO, ready to sell around Australia....:hmmm:

Must be a lot of people buying shells to store in their garages for parts use only......:hide:
