Why not snap the whole car.
Rather than a picture of only the engine bay

Sorry about this OP. In cases like this, it might be better to scrap vehicle. The fire damage looks extensive.

Sorry bro. Cost of bringing back your car to the road is very high and it's effectiveness afterwards is doubtful.

God will provide for you. Take off your mind from it. You will get another better one.
Re: Pls Is This Car Restorable And What Are Likely Cost? by abolore80(m): 10:07am On Oct 19, 2017
My advice, personally supervise the restoration works and ensure that a good rewire handles the wiring system. You can also help them with the manual. Am saying you should supervise it, so that you ensure that everything is done and restored to manufacturer settings.
If you are able to do this, you will save yourself from incessant visit to the rewire's workshop. Goodluck

cc nurey,Gazzuss pls

car can be restored, sadly I will not advice my enemy to try that.

Cut your losses, sell as scrap.

very wrong bro. With small paperwork you would have received claims in a week for less than 40k per year insurance.

for obvious reasons, except u have a sentimental attachment to the car, fixing it up to standard will take a lot of money, resources, technician and most importantly time. the most logical direction is to sell in parts except u have a sentimental attachment to the car

So sorry for your loss Bro but insurance is not for billionaires only. It's is 3% of the value of the car. It may even go cheaper than that. Once again, sorry for your loss. Vehicle may not work at optimum if you restore. Wire issues
