Sorry Vanster. That was a beautiful car and you really had your hands full with it since you got it. May be a blessing in disguise. It's still hard to look at that.

Van, SO Sorry to see this. Im gutted for you. Such a shame after all the work you put into getting it and getting it going.

Norcal 928 is here for you for support...a shoulder to cry on.

Let us know how we can help.

So sorry about what happen!
Im looking at the pic and can't avoid to imagine my car in that situation.
I think I'm afraid to drive mine for a while...

vanster

The question now i what to do with it? The interior is perfect including the dash.
What happens to the motor in a situation like this? I'm not going to part it out myself as I don't have the time nor the space to do it. The motor has 290hp at the rear wheels and that was only at 4500 rpm
Now it has about 6000 miles on it. Everything was new, clutch, motor mounts etc.

Ouch that is a tough one. Been there done that unfortunately.

I hope you get a good settlement and are able to move on...

My condolences

When I get the nerve and my hangover subsides I will open the hood.

That is suspiciously in the power steering area. Do you know if those lines were original?

Maybe someone with a really nice shell would want the interior and drivetrain for a transplant?

vanster

There was small leak in the power steering unit. I was keeping an eye on it.

vanster

After the insurance people look at it I think i will power wash the engine bay so we can see what we have left that we can salvage. I feel bad for GB since he put so much work into it.

uggg! so sad... sorry for the loss and experience!

vanster

Stupid question.... but is an event like this repairable or are there just too many issues to contend with after a fire?

GT6ixer

Ahh ****! That is awful. Is this the BaT car? Unbelievable. So sorry about that. Did you have an extinguisher on hand or was the fire too out of control?

If you eventually go down the part out route, I can help you out by buying some of the parts. But I hope it can be rebuilt! Good luck. Hope the insurance company comes through for you.

vanster

It's the BAT car, interesting that I am still having a problem with DMV regarding registration. Won't have to deal with them any more now
