Might be a good opportunity for Cathy Fairman if they've still got the gearbox. It's probably only worthwhile if it's a good price and guaranteed, in which case it's worth a punt to get it fitted.

How sad. It hard to imagine that it was once someone's pride and joy.

The only concern I would have about this is the force with which the rear has been hit. If the engine has been pushed forward this may have damaged the gearbox. Plus it has covered quite a high mileage. But at the right price, yes it could be a solution.
