-heater thing
-water/brake/PAS fluid bottles
-fuel lines
-loom
-master cylinder
-HT leads
-Coil pack
Will start work on it when I get home tomorrow night just stripping the old bits out!
f**k me! Not nice
Could have been a lot worse. There was that guy who had a lush Focus 2.0 he built from the ground up, he had to sit there and watch his pride and joy burn completely to the ground.
Its all you can do, Fire is Fire and if you have nothing to put it out thats it

Well there are a few little plans to bring it back better than ever. Definitely needs a respray sooner now, but coudl be tempted to drope the engine somewhere else, but I love the look of the Ph1!
Yea most people would be trying to put the flames out and probably just making it worse, just sit back and watch it as you can't do a thing! Was close to breaking down then the missus brother came running over with the fire extinguisher!
Pics as it is today
Windscreen cracked too and need new throttle and clutch cable!

Gutted, hope that you can salvage most of it and get the thing back up and running without too much hassle.
It is a legal requirement to have one in your car over here. I've had to use it once and was damn glad that I had it.
I had a small mishap with a firework which would have resulted in jail time had I not of been able to put the fire out before it got out of control.

Not good but at least you sound like you hav the skills to fix it yourself which is always good.
Things always get worse before they get better and im sure it will be nicer when its back on the road.
This thread has made me consider getting an extinguisher not only for my car but if im passing another car on fire.
All the best

Gutted for you
Must be one of the worse feelings for a petrol head to go through.
Would lifting the bonnet make the fire worse though? Feeding it with oxygen?
Not that I'm saying you did wrong as hind sight is a great thing and I would of done the same!

Year?!?!? Give it a month, MAX!
Mk1 is plan B
Its easy second time around! Time went very slow watching it burn, so what felt like half hour it was about 5 minutes I reckon.

I've though about the bonnet thing after, but I wouldn't of known it was on fire other wise so kind of had too!
Can't wait to get stuck in tonight, hopefully have it looking like it's missing only a few bits by end of day. At least my project thread will see some more action now!
SQ5
it'll all be done soon
Buy a MK1...
bish bash bosh DONE!
WOAH
Not as straight forward as you'd think with charger on it! If mine has taken a big hit once I start tearing stuff away then it will be done
was close lol!

omg sorry to see that m8
s**t that looks bad, hope it's fixed and back on the road soon. Considering the flames though surprised there's not more damage. Think I'm going to invest in a fire extinguisher now.

Wow! thats nuts! I hope its dont take you long to sort out mate and can all be fixed easily!
SQ5
I will definitely have one in there in future, possibly a plumbed in one if funds allow
Got a great start on it tonight, plus a lot of extras are now being moved forward to now due to it being in a paint shop I'll get some of the photos from tonight up, 3 of us working for about 1 1/2 hours and we've got a lot done
Will post up in my project thread here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=455505&page=21
