Default Well its over guys...car in flames...

Just a few shots. 6 pot brake, bells and rotors are salvagable, and the back wheels. Not too sure about the front, they may be warpped.







Nice big hole going through one end of the bottom end to the other...

Fuck!

Was an awesome car that one, load of work you'd put in. Genuinely shocked.

Best of luck finding a worthy replacement though
