Not that car. Seam seal melts with a heat gun, ask me how I dont this, its all over Darryls floor under the jetta from welding. All the seam seal melted/burnt out for sure… so all the panels are spot welded together, and that makes for a very flimsy car. Dont say well perfect then, great time to stitch weld it all and make it better than evar! Metallurgy 101, the heat produced by a car fire is going to piss off that sheet metal the entire car (unibody) is made from. crush it and call it a day.

> well to play devils advocate. the guy documents everything he does to any of his cars (see the rusty build thread) so that would be the camera equipment. if he did just fab up a harness to run the motor on the ground, he def. would have taken pictures. as far as the garage door, i would assume they closed it thinking it would give the fire a little less oxygen. and the car, i have no answer for…

see bold bellow and my response:

> I doubt youd get much insurance from a car that was already totaled once and was currently in pieces. Also proving value of rare wheels would be pretty difficult and probably would get much for the handful of sets he had. **And he was renting, so unless he had renters insurance he gets nothing.**

if that’s true not only would HE not be getting insurance money for the loss(s), he might end up getting sue’d depending on what the lease agreement was and what kind of landlord owns the property. Now he could have insurance on the car, and even added value insurance on the car over stock value, sure.

If he is renting for real, VERY RARELY do landlords allow you to use a garage like that; Welders, Plasma cutters, torches, lots of electricity, flammable chemicals, etc. Heck most places you rent don’t want you storing lawn mowers or fuel jugs inside the building, for this reason here. Again, if he is renting maybe it was agreed upon, and hopefully on paper, shoving the “blame” to the landlord.

I would be interested to see how this pans out in a few weeks.
