My brother came down with his car hauler and brought me back to his house. I ended up changing the transmission out in his driveway. The replacement was from that coupe! I called a friend of mine who broke into my garage and shipped it to me.

Drove her back home w/no issues!

I always thought that was a pretty good story to tell.

When I sold the car the buyer got quite a few spare parts to go with it!
That is a great story for sure.
When I had my TR6, I also had a parts car, mainly got it for the frame and did a fame swap. I sold off the other parts a little at a time to offset repair costs. I Loved that car.
