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.

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.
