Considering the bodywork is good (I presume) it's not worth breaking :roll:

Either find a new engine (3rd time lucky?) or sell it whole to someone who'll stick a new engine in it and resurrect it I reckon....

I hate to say this mate but your having nothing but trouble with this car, as you said, if you save it how long before something else goes wrong? i say cut your losses get yourself out of this hole and then buy yourself a mint black touring once your stable again, i know its sad to see nemo die but its better than you being more in the shit if something else goes wrong, this much bad luck should never happen to someone so tidy! i know i can't help much but if i can then consider it done, just put an end to this bad luck mate!
