Really depends on the fire, and where it started.
(I had one that was reduced to a puddle of loose fiberglass fibers with
some metal lumps in it. That was when my shop burned down around the

From the pictures, the interior is burned out. The structure MAY still
be intact, hard to tell.
LOTS of parts to replace in the interior, as well as re-wiring the
vehicle, and replacing brake lines.
More likely to be good as a donor vehicle for front and rear suspension,
controller, and a few other parts from the front.

This isn't a Bondo job. It will take a lot of difficult fiberglass work to put this one back on the road. And it looks like the fire has taken out some of the...
