Sorry to see your motor in this way...
So you need to make a list of what will need replacing before you think of buying back from the insurance.
Hopefully it’s just bulkhead(full rebuild) ,doors that took the brunt of the heat.loom & under bonnet plastic/rubber

It may not require as much work as it looks but the insurance company may be arses about letting you put it back on the road as that's pretty extensive. Not horrendously bad but I've seen better lol. Out of the dash I think your raptor unit might be alright, the rest is for the bin I'm afraid. A whole new loom will be needed as well as windscreen and frame, new door tops, definitely new hoses and whatnot for the engine although I'd be looking at getting that cylinder head professionally rebuilt just incase. The bulkhead itself might still be solid but I would factor that in as needing replaced as well. Overall its a lot of work, doable certainly but still a lot of work.Need to decide whether your emotional attachment to it makes it worth it

Yesterday I parked up the 110 outsides a friends house and was called back about an hour later to this:

View attachment 244236 View attachment 244237 View attachment 244238 View attachment 244239

It looks to have been caused by electrics as it has started under the bonnet on the drivers side so away from the turbo and exhaust.

It is currently loaded onto the car trailer and tucked into the back of a friends barn in the West Country so at some point I will drag it back to the midlands to start looking at it properly.

I am currently on a stag do so insurance etc will Need to wait until Monday. But I am wanting to rebuild it as I am
Rather attached to it. I am am open to all the collective wisdom and suggestion you have for both dealing with the insurance company and the work required after to rebuild!
