Another option if you have space for it is buy a second 75 and drive it while you restore the first one. But be warned, if you do that, you may well end up keeping both.

I struggled with the idea of creating a decent stock of spare parts for maintenance purposes so if i ever had any breakdowns I’d always have the parts to hand, but found the cheapest solution was to keep a spare car instead. This comes in very handy when planning those bigger jobs like suspension work and so on. It is also very handy when you’ve stripped something down and cant remember how it needs to go back together.

I only intended my second car as a temporary thing, but enjoy driving it so much It has been temporary for 6 years now.
