AB performance are very good.
Where do you live, and can you not fix it yourself?
Everyone ok after the incident? Didn;t come through the tunnel wall I take it?

Sorry to hear that mate, where in the world are you, may help us suggest somewhere. I take it you are ok and it didn't come through the tunnel
skin? Maybe install a prop catcher as well while in for repairs?
Cheers

he isn't local.
If I've understood you will need:
propshaft repair (new UJ and maybe front section and prop adapter)
water pump, water pump gasket
gear change (maybe time to make the move to paddle shift?)
How long did the engine run for with no coolant? Not long I'd guess.
If you post pictures then we can have a proper look, if the prop angle really is daft then we can let you know so you can look to get a new engine
cradle (and exhaust headers??? - hopefully not £££)
Just be pleased you still have your left shin. It could have been nasty.
