Hopefully it's an easy fix, and you'll be back on the road soon. I've always wondered what it would be like to drive a stock car, where everything just always works....

I honestly don't know, but the engine was able to start and run after the break-down. I suspect that it was the rear diff. It seemed to seize up somehow. It was on downhill. I put car into neutral and all brakes were released, the car wouldn't roll an inch.
AHQ did the swap.

Well, this is something we didn't expect at all, we will look at your car tomorrow and get it back on the road asap.
I didn't know anything about this till I just read it here.

was it there for a year because they were working on it the whole time or was the majority of the time waiting to source all the parts?
Sounds like the wrong final drive real maybe?
Hard to speculate.
