You are probably right ,it is worth more in bits but while it can be repaired it will keep another UR on the road

I didnt suggest it needed a quarter, that was purely an example.
As others have stated, the steel has been exposed to high temps so its no longer the same spec of material it was when it was made, the inner wing for example is all burned up, as is the firewall and these both have structural aspects to them, how do you propose to re heatreat those panels?
You cant, you could just repaint them and hope for the best but the strength they once had wont now be present, and since the cars been declared a write off itll never have the worth it did pre fire.
My ur's cost me absolutely thousands and its still not finished, partly due to me being a lazy bugger and changing the spec but quite a lot due to parts availability and costs, if you want to go there and genuinely re-comission the car then ill wish you all the best with it, if youre just out for a quick profit then youre in the wrong place.
Strip it for useful parts and get your money back that way id say.
