one day a rotory may live under the hood once again, but once a FC is parted
and scrapped, its gone forever

I look at it more this way, I rescued this car from a field, it was going to end up a rusted pile of scrap sooner or later. if I can part this out and keep fellow FC owners in decent parts for a good price, there is no foul. As most of us know there are not too many FC's in the junkyards anymore, and finding used parts is getting harder and harder each day. The motor was worth the purchase price in my eyes, and it may find its way into someone elses ride who does not have the funds for a rebuild. So even though it is one less FC on the road, it may save the lives of many more FC's, think of it as an organ donor
