I suspect I split the plastic fuel line that runs over the tank. Hit the exhaust and up she went. Important bit wasnt damaged though.

Says he went to start it and heard two bangs then smoke and flames came out under the bonnet. It needed the Fire Trucks to put it out.

What's at the front left of the car, that looks like where it really was serious.

I'm guessing air filter, might have been a backfire with one of the oiled type.

Won't matter as he didn't have the car insured which I find not a wise move.

I reckon it's good insurance having one of those little dry powder extinguisher s mounted in the boot instead of watching your pride and joy burn to the ground

on the outside it doesn,t look to hard to fix, hopefully no panel warping. but he should at least protect it from rusting.

I'd cover or replace my badge too if it sported a lame lion in a limp wristed pose. Nothing remotely Australian about a lion, when's the last time you seen an Australian lion in the wild ?

The Chev badge is too American and not relevant to an Australian Holden, and the SS badge is very... German |

The two lightning bolt SS on the VZ series was remarkably German, and it was very ironic seeing them on HWP cars at the time, whom I regarded in the same light as the Gestapo of old..
