The "Before" Pictures

 

 

These are pictures that show the condition of the car as it was purchased.  
 Main

 Engine Bay

 Interior

 

In these pictures you can see that the car as purchased was already in pretty good shape structurally, with very minor collision damage and some pretty obvious fire damage.

 
   
  The following are more pictures of the underside, frame, floors, etc.  
   
   
  And, finally, pictures of the fire damage.  The battery was not strapped in, and during the minor collision, the battery tipped forward and shorted out against the hood.  The ensuing fire burned all the wiring, hoses, and anything plastic on the passenger side of the engine compartment as well as much of the driver side.  The fire penetrated the firewall and ruined the dash pad, the wiring under the dash, the windshield wiper, the original air conditioning system and all ductwork.
