Rebuild after Fire bug
 

Well guys an girls, my babe went on fire, details wildly exaggerated by the many, facts known by the few, long story short, the insurance are being a pain in the butt and putting a fight up, something to do with vandalism clause, but will leave that to the solicitors to sort out.

Its been a long hard think and thanks to my parents the rebuild will go ahead.
so it looks like we will be having a bit of a long thread, going to do a full pic and detail of the rebuild, so here are a few pics of mess

Heres many of her guises before she came a cropper

So as you can see the parts requirement could be quite extensive, complete list be drawn up, will all mainly sourced second hand parts, with the exception of the power steering pipes, these will be of course fitted brand spanking new.

So if any of you can see any bits that I need and you have them just gathering dust in your home or garage, give me a bell or pm.

Bonnet already sourced, came with a scoop, thats why i got one spare now, lol

strip has started, needed to see what unseen damage has been done

engines out, not seem to be much scorching of the paint work on the inner wing, a lot of the air box has melted through brake pipes, so all gotta be cleaned off.

a lot of cleaning to do, found that I have a hairline crack in the GT spec headers, so will get that welded up, re-wrapped, picked up manifold today complete with injectors and engine loom, still got a few parts to source, so if anyone has a AVCS contol solinoid and sensor give me a shout, this are fitted in the head on the drivers side, will get new ones priced up, dreading that one.........

more parts sourced, thank fully up to now most parts are second hand, only dealer parts I have had to get are the cam sensor, oils control assembly valve, rocker cover gasket set, steering rack boot, pik up monday.



Parts needed are the abs sensor drivers front, coolant, ancillary hoses, have sent e-mails out but everybody a bit slow getting back

if you got any ppl give me a shout

Least your getting back on track bud,

What was the cause of the fire???

power steering pipe came off at the crimp, then it went alight melting brake & clutch res

Lucky escape that mate.
