damn. I know im reinforcing all of this but that sucks bro good luck with the rebuild dont part it out!! im buying a fire extinguisher also now. never realize how important they are until you need to use one huh?? good luck with the rebuild and dont give up on her!!!
glad you are ok, sorry to hear about the car. its beautiful.
everyone should have a fire extinguisher in their car. the problem is, by far the best is Halon. however, it has been banned by the EPA for public use within the past couple years. if you can find it, get it! the standard fire extinguisher will work, but it is hell on whatever it comes in contact with.
good luck getting it put back together.

Thanks guys for the support. Either way I will definitely go piece by piece with the rebuild with pics etc. Im a supra guy for now and I know I will be stayin in the camp for a while longer. These things are pure love.
I am down here in Ocean City and I saw a monster 69 mustang the whole works. In his windshield is a pic of it when it was on fire. It gave me some inspiration....i must say.
One thing...could you guys take a look at the pic that shows the back firewall. Behind the brake booster....is that the natural curve of the firewall or did it get burnt and distorted. This is the area so far that will make or break my rebuild at this time.

Yes, i think everyone should have an extinguisher. My electric fan wiring caught fire when i was drifting once. I popped my hood, ran out and patted it out with my hand. It wasn't a big fire, but it could have been had i not caught it in time
Sorry to hear about your car but looking forward to see how you bounce back with something bigger
Looks like you could have done something better with the location or quality of your wiring harness extension, to me.
NO!!!!:cry: :cry: :cry: She was such a beauty! Go luck with what ever you decide to do with your car.
that sucks...so whats the verdict on what exactly happened?
sounds to me that the fuel line had something to do with it, and a sloppy harness could def spark some fumes and ruin your day/week/month/car...
definitely salvageable tho...your probably one of the lucky ones

new windsheild, new lower cowl part on the windsheild and a new hood might be the only body damage... might need a new dash, but can't tell from the pics...
Wiring harness is trashed though, I dunno where you're gonna find one...

Yea I agree...plus the dash. I am definitely gonna need a new one of those. Wiring harness...I thought somebody was making one of those right now?
I still havent gone back home yet to begin taking it apart yet. What is behind the dash that I have to worry about getting wet/burnt?
I agree the supra held up pretty well to the fire....I mean if you guys saw the flames....
That sucks man. People always ask why I have a fire extinguisher in my car....now I don't feel so stupid.
