Car caught fire
Car caught fire today i went to get something out of my car at the shop and the intake and fuel rail was off and i didnt no, anyways to make a lng story short it caught fire. We got it out in time before it got back but it metlted alot of the wires in the back engine bay and things under it. My question is how do shops estimate this if its a total loss or what
pretty much determines what the car is worth and how much money it will take to repair the damage. In most cases that i have seen if the damage is more then what the car is worth then it will be totalled. But unless there is more damage then what i am thinking on your car then you should be fine.
ik all the wiring in the engine bay burnt, the hood got hot, the pass side body kit and fender got hot. The brake resvoir is metlted, it blew the valve cover gaskets out bc it got gas down int he manifold and boom lol. What do you think? It sucks but who knows
well ik for a face fender and body kit needs repainted/new, hood is brown main wiring wip in the engine bay is burnt, the wiring below the intake sits that goes into the manifold is all burt. I am gonn ahave it rebuilt if its not totaled im curious on what cam/vavle and rockers to get other then that im having them bore it out and do some head work can somoen point me in the direction for a good cam kit and what not. And maybe some of the wiring replacement/

get your thoughts straightened out first. fix that car is step #1
step #2 is sit down and really thinka bout your budget and ultimate goals for your car but be realistic dont say I want a daily driveable 1000rwhp turbo car.
step #3 find a set up that will suit your needs and wants, and research on those components to see if they will do what you want and if they will work

Verdad Gallardo yah your right, monday or tuesday the insurance guy comes. I am for a fact if they dont total it and let me im gonna have th ework done my self and with some of my friends they own a engine shop and one owns a paint shop so i got some good deals through them. I think im gonna have them rebuild it but i wwanna cam it and maybe stall it and they can do w/e they want to the engine as in bore it .30 and i think he said they can do some to the head but not alot. Which company helps you the most pick your cam and package ive looked but all the numbers kinda confuse me.
does it cost alot for say a Chevy dealer to yank the eninge and replace the wiring? I no the engine needs to be pulled apart its full of fire extinguser and the valve cover gaskets are blown out of it. Im not sure if this is gonna be totaled or what.
DONT go to the dealer. find a good reputable shop to do the work for you. the dealer will suck every penny you own from your wallet for anything just about.
as far as picking a heads/cam combo, I dont know to much about the numbers and all but if you have yahoo I could help you sit down and figure out a plan and goal and help ya shop around for what will do it

i got full coverage, my plan was to get the check and hopefully theres money in it to do the engine then ill just pull the hood fender and body kit off and have my buddy paint it. The engine bay im worryed bc im not sure what all is burnt. I no the main harness is for sure but like under the intake where two wires go into the manifold them are burnt were do i find all this ?
im prolly just gonna go witgh a cam, do they have packages like rollers rockers and things like that or do i have to buy them individualy? I dont wanna spend a ton bc i have to still buy a new intake and tb maybe a ported tb and just a ls6 intake would work not sure yet.

How does taking a cd out of the cd player catch the car on fire? The ignition doesn't need to be on.
Why did they not have the battery disconnected?
Why did they let an unattended customer in the work area?
I'd be pissed off if I were you, not happy about rebuilding it better.

i turned the key on and the battery was parialy unhooked? It just dumped gas out everywhere because the fuel rails weree unhooked. I just stoped in it was outside and i figured it would be just fine i did it.
