Default My car caught on fire
Last week my car caught on fire in the engine compartment and caused quite a bit of damage. Happily I am not hurt. The car looks like it will be written off by insurance and I probably will buy it back. I most likely will part it as the amount of parts needed to fix it is more than the value of the car.
I am thinking of parting it and perhaps making a race car out of it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this car. Time to move on. Let me know if anyone needs any parts: euro gt3 seats (aftermarket), fabspeed exhaust, big reds, new discs all around, half cage, lsd tranny, escort cup car suspension, lindsay racing charlie arms and more.
