Id say the seats are intact. Doors boot etc. Underneath running gear like axles gearbox hubs etc. Engine block and head may still be ok. Dont suppose the id is of any use being a cat b. Probably still a good few grands worth of salvageble bits to someone who can be arsed stripping every last thing off it

Interior is going to reek of smoke the front seats will have tiny little burn marks all over them plus they may have been covered in water by the Fire Brigade.
Depends on the heat produced but the alloy head maybe finished.

When vehicle panels have been on fire can they be painted again.

Its a lot of work Glenn, you need to bead blast the metal right back to bright all over, then spray filler to lose the burn pockets in the metal, and that's assuming the panel has not warped in the heat.

I have salvaged some really good parts from similar engine bay fires, even heads, bottom ends etc can sometimes be ok even if the ancillaries have melted around them.

I would buy it for a grand no problem, but you have to be a registered breaker for a cat B
