I can't see how anyone could do this to such a beautiful car, I can't imagine how you feel as it makes me feel sick looking at it :ermm:

Such a horrible thing to see. Steve and I are so very very sorry for you. Hope you can get things sorted out with your insurance and your Mini can be restored to it's former glory.

Little scrotes need their hands chopping off, really sorry to hear this mate.

I hope they get caught and the book thrown at them.

Good luck with the insurance company.

Those photos make me feel sick. Couldn't imagine how I would feel had it happened to my Mini.

Might be a few salvageable parts but shell is fubar'd


I wonder if you could save the shell, its just if its warped or changed the composition of the steel, I hope you can save it

Those pictures make me very sad, really is a pointless thing to do, what do they get out of it?
Hopefully if it's too far gone you'll be able to find a worthy replacement.

i think theres a topic on here about why its a bad idea restoring fire damaged cars like this. im sure it gives off toxins and effects the steel

I would love to wait 10 years from now - wait till the scum , have bought a nice car of their own

tie them in a chair 10 yards from their pride and joy - with all of their possessions in it

and torch it

and give them a pic of your car - to remind them

and just to be nasty - brand them on the forehead - arsonist

I should imagine the shell is now annealed - weak - but I may be wrong

so sorry for you

Hey mate really sorry to hear about this. That sucks. Hope some justice comes of it. :(

Would like to add that the courts aren't much better over this side of the pond. Constant stream of slaps on the wrist and "they're too young to understand what they did" crap.

This is horrid, and I'd be mortified if the same had happened to my car, however I cannot see the justice in burning their processions, after all, are you not as bad anthem when you have done that? To quote Gandi, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind!
