Mark,
I read your post here and just smiled. When I got my car in 2000, It was shipped from Europe to New York and finally to Florida where I picked it up and drove it home to Arizona.
Getting it home and starting the rebulding process, the motor & ZF came out. I pulled the bottom cover on the ZF and found all of the bolt heads sheered off and only 4 studs from the bolts still holding the ring gear in place.
I think back that I drove my car 2000+ miles from Florida to Arizona like this and HOW LUCKY I was to actually make it home.
Just had to smile.
