with it being salvaged there really no sense in putting any more cash into it...i would get as much money as you can out of it and build your own on a fresh platform

Unless it would be a track only car. Then swap everything from this car to another, have it repainted the same, and pretend it never happened

If it is salvaged, why would there be no sense in putting any money into it? I don't have any plans to ever sell it. The body is in great condition. There is NO rust or compound on the body anywhere. All the lines are straight. EVERYTHING in that car was brand new. I would have to replace the wiring, gasket, hosing and things like that, and have it repainted. The inspector said the engine wasn't damaged at all. I just need to clean the **** out of it. Oh yeah, the brand new freakin' mass air was destroyed.

If the fire was enough to melt the windshield glass, i would tear that block down to bare bones and start over.

Waterpump internal seals = gone
Valve Stem Seals = gone
Heads warped
Intake warped
and after the block had been that hot, i dont know if i would trust the durability of it anymore..

Etc etc etc...

and youll probably have electrical problems till the day you die. not trying to be a kill joy, but i would seriously rethink trying to fix that car. It can be done, but do you have the time / patience / knowledge to do it all? just things to ask yourself.

No, I want everyone's opinions. Most people just say to let them crush it into a cube and move on to the next car. You guys love the Mustang, so I know your opinions will be honest. I wouldn't do any of the electical work. I have a guy who actually said he would totally restore the car for me. Let me know if you guys think I should just scrap the car and have it cubed and move on.

I edited my post after i thought of a few more things that could be toast lol..

I know what you mean though.. i love my car more than just about anything. My car is stripped to bare bones right now with the exception of the dashboard. And putting everything together is going to take alot of time. Honestly... would i do it? I doubt it. I would find another clean GT and put the money into that to make it look like the old one. To me, you havent had the car long enough to bond with it, and look through the "best foxes" thread at the top of the forum. youll probably see some you like even better than the one you had.

as stated the heat that block was exposed to its junk between redoing the engine and the body work and wiring you would be better off starting a new car and dedicating the built to honor the burnt car

Just talked to the adjuster. They are giving me $3690. That is after my deductible is taken out. I get to keep the car with no buy back. Meaning I keep it without paying them. The title is marked salvaged. I might just part this car out. Everything from the firewall back is brand new. Even the rims and tires are new and not damaged.
