Default Shipping ERA FIA with parts inside car

Has anyone tried to ship an ERA kit with the loose parts inside the car? Mine is an FIA non roller with most of the bits and pieces. No rear axle or wheels though.
The carpet, convertible top, undercar exhaust with primary's (No mufflers though) are the three items that probably take the most room (Asked Peter to not make any welds on exhaust to keep as short as possible)
My thought was to bubble wrap the parts instead of boxing and just throw them in the trunk, cabin and engine bay (With a plywood floor in engine bay so they don't fall out) and then use heavy poly plastic to cover the cabin and tape it down with gaffer tape and gaffer tape the shut lines of the hood and trunk. Car is not painted.
Peter said that we could try and make the stuff fit but that they had never done it before so thought I'd get a few opinions before we try it.
Car will be trailered to NJ and put in a shared container, over the sea to eastern Norway and then trailered to western Norway.
