An MR2 gearbox I won for £1.99

After I won the auction the guy mentioned he had a load of other parts I could help myself to 'cos anything I didn't take would be dumped.

Ended up collecting:
Gearbox
Pair of driveshafts
Pair of full headlight assemblies with motors
ECU
Bootlid
Couple of other little panels

I gave him a fiver in the end though as I couldn't bring myself to take that lot away for 2 quid
