On the bright side those bath tubs are worth quite a bit these days, and fun to drive! Once you get title, give it a nice red paint job and make sure you test drive it past the PO jerk! Nothing gets me more than people who ask someone to work on the vehicle before they have cash to pay for it. My motorcycle mechanic, works from a shop on his property. Great guy, highly skilled, knows Harleys front and back, works his but off to do right by his customers. He always has two to three bikes in the shop, that are fixed but the owners haven't got the money. What that equates to is no food or mortgage money for my friend, and parts bills that need to be paid. My rule is get a verbal estimate, save up the cash, then come in and have it fixed. Sorry your going thru this.
