We've had a good cry but before the hook comes for it is there anything i should take from it?

Keviln

Details?

A lesson

What happened? Everyone OK?

That's a little insensitive...

How it happened would be good idea for us though.

Sorry to hear this. I know you've spent a lot of time restoring it. I hope you are able to salvage at least the financial component through your insurance.

Sorry to hear this, especially after all the work you’ve put in on it.
With info and pics folks can recommend what you can salvage. If it was “just” an engine fire there’s likely quite a few parts that are worth saving/worth $.

Hope you and your family are safe and doing ok.
Sorry to hear this happened.
How badly burned is it? I am sure some things could be salvaged.

I hope and pray everyone is ok. If is a 6 save it.

nothing yet. i'm going tomorrow to look at it

kevin

yes thanks were fine.

kevin

Kevin, very sorry to hear this. Take your time to process.

Nooooo!!!!

So sorry Kevin.

There were some photos on Facebook yesterday of a yellow 914 with a raging engine fire, I'm guessing that's the one. Can't find 'em now...

This sucks Kev.

So sorry to hear and hopefully insurance works out ok. Have had a couple close calls myself, and it's scary.

Damn, So sorry to hear this.

Never got to see it.

Should be a bunch of salvageable parts.

Just sucks. This year I put black cut in the engine bay in a more subtle location and then the passenger seat FE. This is my worst fear

So long as everyone is safe, all the metal/glass/plastic is replaceable. A loss is a loss and I'm sure it hurts

I'm really sorry for the loss. It happened to an old friend with a little Honda. Super scary.

Sorry man, such a bummer.

I always hate reading about members losing a 914 to fire. These are more than just a car to us. My condolences.

Thanks guys, It seems to be the worst in the corner by the battery. It's so gone though you can't tell what went fist.
I did have one of those Stick fire extinguishers but to no avail. I'd recommend if you have one to order another and go some where to practice with it. I didn't know what to expect. Also the cop that came said you may slow it down but you're not putting it out.

I relly want to thank a lot of the guys here for the hell and knowledge. I was nice knowing you had this wealth of knowledge to ask questions in.



Thanks again guys. And if you didn't see it Thursday it turns 50.
Kevin

I have to agree though, would have more impact in every way with pictures. Consider it a PSA to encourage more people to drive with figure suppression of some sort.

Just had my halon bottle serviced and recertified last year.

Sorry to hear this for sure.

Flat text. Don't read into it. It was merely a way of asking for clarity regarding the post.

Yep, had read on a thread that those stick extinguishers not sufficient for putting out fires, especially between the tin and the case.
Got a 5-lb purple K, in front of the drivers seat.

So sorry to hear this.

I know the Blazecut I installed in the engine cover won’t stop every kind of fire but it’s a step in the right direction to get it under control. They sure have gone up in price.

Worst Nightmare, sorry to hear it! Any details might be helpful to the community.
