Cheers guys, :)

But i've reluctantly decided to start and strip it tomorrow, hopefully i'll be able to get some funds back off the bits and start again?

Must admit though its something i'm not looking forward to doing after all the work thats gone into it, but just cant afford to buy a new loom and all the other bits it needs :( And i'm determined to be back in another lex/toyota asap :)

Damn!!!!!.....Sorry to see this Chris, man you've worked so bloody hard on that car to make it one of the best!!!!.... I only just now caight up with this thread and I can't see the fire damage because I'm at work and can't download the pics.

I'll download them tomorrow at home and take them to work tomorrow night and show our Fire Investigaton Team based at my station, they may be able to shed some light on the cause, although from what you say it just seems like an electrical fault. I can tell you this mate, most of the car/van/lorry fires we attend are caused by electric faults of some kind, so insurance companies are well up on this kind of claim.

Couple of quick questions:

Was the engine running directly before the fire?

If not how long approx had it been at rest?

What a terrible shock. I called you straight away when I first heard the news :o :o :o

You put so much love, work & attention to detail into your car to make it one of the very finest in the UK.

After that happening to my car I don't think I could even speak for a week, and I certainly would have been in floods

of tears for days & days..... I hope you find a away to repair it or get a good payout so you can replace your car with

a new pride & joy.

After calling you up, & hearing a cheery voice looking on the bright side so soon after a disaster, matey you truly

are incredible. What a shining example of a human being you truly are to everyone, I take my hat off to you !!!

Fingers crossed on the lottery this week, your positive outlook deserves a reward :)

Bloody hell fella, I just came on and saw this - that's really shocking mate, but I guess like the guys say at least you weren't in there at the time as it could have been a lot worse I guess!

Hope things work out ok mate with this lot, that really is crazy!

Good luck with whatever is next on the agenda, you'd really put an unbelievable amount of time and work into that car and it's terrible to see it all end up like that :(

Cheers Guys, :) Been and taken a few bits off it today and at this very moment i'm polishing the supercharger again :) Took me ages to get one and now having to sell it to fund some more wheels? :nugget: Also got the carbon spoiler off,carbon intake, hids, boost gauge, and the front and side skirts off?

Had a good look at the wiring to see if its possible to do it with minimum hassle but so much of it has melted it'll take me ages to sort out? The insurance have given me the ok to remove the mods and put it back to standard form and then they will send someone to have a look at it/pick it up! then just have to wait to see if i get anything for it?? ;)

So if anybody wants a supercharger let me know :unsure:
