Had a major hiccup today the day after i get a wof!

Gaz was sitting in the back seat and the cover that was protecting the kill switch broke/feel of unsure exactly, anyways the back of the seat arked out on the terminals and next thing we new the back seat was on fire! So i went to put it out with the fire extinguisher and the charge on the bastard had died, so ripped the rear seat out with the adrenalin pumping like as to make things worse there was 20L of thinners sitting on the seat, as we were on out way to paint Duncan's trailer and it was also next door to the petrol tank! So once it was ripped out the seat burst into massive flames etc as the foam fueled the fire really well. next thing we new the fire truck turned up.

Gazza has photos on his phone.

The escorts turn to get ready for the wedding.

1st up the drivers guard. The top of the guard got some rust under it which caused the bog to pop. and the lower fiberglass flare was half ripped of from fast reversing and a loose sway bay during the development of the car :oops:.
