Isn't it the same car that got stolen a few months ago? Don't want to sound superstitious, but that bug had bad karma all around it!
Best of luck in finding a new project.

That is terrible vuyo. We'll all keep our eyes peeled for another one to get you going again.
What a disaster !
As the others said, at least your are ok though and your house didn't burn down.

Soz buddy.

#Hijack : What's the chance of the bug rising outta the ashes? I'm no metal expert, but will the body be toootally unsalvagable?? Or is it like panelbeat here, strengthen there and viola.... New style *burntstyle* ??

Being truely sincere in my q.

Ok nevermind, I googled it :D!!


Major warping of the metal, as well as it becoming thin. And the oxidation probably doesn't help either.

But still think *burntstyle* will be cool. Sorry yet again for the kak luck Mr D.
