That's a shame mate.bad times.
As some will say."it was a more door".

[hennared323i]

Bummer,

Should be relatively easy to sort out though

[Grrrmachine]

Hard to tell with all the greasy smoke, but it looks like the bodywork is relatively unscathed. Of course, new bumper, bonnet and wings, but what will really decide is whether the fuse box suffered. If it did, you're looking at the ballache of stripping the shell to replace the loom, which you might not have the heart to do. Everything else should be bolt-on replaceable.

Get a pressure washer on it and see just how bad the shell is from the windscreen back.

And my sincerest condolences

Least it was a Moredoor! Petes mate in China is semi at the minute!

[Topblag]

Not so good. Saddens me it's a moredoor.

How much you want for the smoked rear lights ?

[pacerpete]

Sorry, that's toast .......

[Speedtouch]

Reminds me of the Christine car.

Feel for you after all that hard restoration work.

[gooner1]

Sorry, that's toast ...... and did you save the tumble drier?.

[polsta]

I'd get another more door, put that burned bonnet wings doors and boot on it, clear coat, and drive it round

Gutted for you, but family and health over metal !

Wow, good job the dryer wasn't in the house! Sorry to say you would be better off getting another car.Most things are repairable but the amount of work needed just isn't worth it.
Put the seats etc into a new shell. If you miss one bit of melted wiring it could short and go up again.

[Gert_8]

Ah, man, that sucks!

Car doesn't look too bad to be honest. I was more alarmed by the cabby front seats you're rocking, than the damage that has been done to it!

[bab-91]

Shit the bed! You have a tumble dryer!?


How long have you had the car? I think the question of 'fixing it' comes down to emotional attachment/pig-headedness.

I'd fix it... I wouldn't let a small fire part me from my turd!

[sweep]

Rebuild it....

[magpie]

smoked lights !

[threelander]

you must be gutted mate

[RustyRuss]

So very, very sorry to hear this mate and I hope you decide to rebuild it - it looked stunning and it will do once more. As you know moredoors are my favourite so id say it absolutely deserves to live again!!

[andyp]

wow as you have said at least it was not in the house, as for the car you can build another one, be interesting to see what the insurance offer

[Jesus325iTouring]

What a disaster

[Gert_8]

What he isn't telling us is that he was tapping into the neighbour's electric..!

[Dweller]

Luckily I'm insured, yesterday consisted of rummaging through charred remains of garage contents and taking pictures for insurance, car is being inspected today by insurance as I've said I want to keep the remains, il let you all Know how it goes

[Sanchez]

Good luck with the insurance bud. Might help to show them all your before pics to show what good condition the car was in so price is as high as you can get it.

[Cypriotgeeza]

Gutted for you mate!

As heartbreaking as it is id get all the salvageable parts and start again in a new shell, theres still plenty of decent ones out there!

Hope you eventually sort something out

[beemerbird]

Absolutely gutted for you, but thankful that you, your family and home escaped damage. What make of tumble drier was it?
