Keep your original shell and learn how to fix it. instead of buying another shell use the money to do a training course on welding or panel beating. life time skills.

Thats some good advise there.

i know what you are all saying and thats what i keep telling every one i know but they all keep saying go for another shell but a HX is not easy to come across thses days

i gess it all just a waiting game now

Changing a shell sounds easy, but from experience it can be a absolute ball breaker if your trying to do it yourself at home.....

Have done both & many hours stressing, sweating & praying (& i aint religious)
If you go down that road ask someone, maybe on here for a few pointers.
