There should be an arson charge as well as reckless endangerment.

If the engine and tranny were heated enough they are junk. Excess heat from the out side will destroy internal parts. I see a boat anchor......

Does she think there are no penalties for arson? She sounds dangerous - hope you can press charges and not get burned yourself.

I'm thinking there's a lot of very deep abandoned wells out there . Bitch will probably never take any heat for that either .

I think you can get it back up and running for under 6k. Gas won't burn hot enough to do substantial damage. Also, the wheels look fine, wich would be a clue that it didn't burn over an extented period of time. Electrics, rubberparts and gaskets. Paintjob, oil and fuel lines, a new belt, and you're back in business. You could get 3000 for the frame alone, in Germany or France, so even parting the fuggin thing out could be a good deal.

I see things like that and though i really feel for the guy, I wish i lived in traveling distance. I'd have that at 500 bucks in a second. Good winter project!
