That's the catch with a glass car, or is it what's left of aluminium?

Hmmm, and no WOVR record. Seems pretty irresponsible to sell something like this to rise like a Phoenix from the considerable ashes... http://www.manheim.com.au/damaged-ve...00000004594516

Ha looks pretty buggered to me.

In such a case could the suspension arms be re-used or would the heat have affected them too?

I'm assuming springs would similarly suffer temper issues from the heat too or not?

I wouldn't go anywhere near it. The heat from the fire will have affected the metallurgy of the chassis. Simms metals is where it needs to go.

Yep, jack up the VIN plate and put a whole new frame under it.

I once saw one of these at Speed on Tweed with a Skyline six in it. The owner had driven it up from Adelaide. It was the only clubbie I've ever seen running a six.
