Seems like a no brainer to me too. Just as spartr parts for your VX, it would be worth the dough if you have a place to store it. If not, just cherry pick some of the parts that are sure to be hard to come by in the near future (cladding, glass, hood insert) and offer the rest here. You would be sure to make your small investment back, I'm sure.
Or as others suggested, get the tranny working and sell it to cover your costs, with a little bonus for yourself. I sure know there are plenty here alone that would be interested.....
Best,
