How much to do a brand new interior?

engrish?

I have been offered a newish Jaguar which was petrol bombed but put out before the fire did any damage to the engine & body. Would get it really cheap, would it be much to kit out an entire new interior?

Mr.David

Does the car still run? You would have to be really careful with it. If the wiring loom has been burnt through you will have a huge job. Personally I wouldnt touch it, could cost an absolute fortune.

I'll sell you a 01D X-Type Irish one not imported with 65k on the clock. Silver 2.5 SE recent full service and four new tyres (about a month ago). Excellent car full leather and all that jazz. Reason I'm selling I want to bike to work now to save some commute time.

Let you have it for 10k absolute steal I've not advertised this yet just getting it cleaned up this weekend.

The wiring loom would more than likely have to be replaced plus it would be almost impossible to get the prggy dell of burnt interior removed from the car. The car is probably being sold off dirt cheap because it is an insurance wright off.

It would be a nightmare im sure. Depends on what damage was done and what such a car would be worth in perfect condition. It would need to be got at giveaway money regardless as the repair costs will certainly go through the roof.

You say inside is destroyed, that would mean all new glass and trims. Roof skin could also be dodgy as very little insulation from fire there. Are you sure the fire is confined to the interior? Has it got to anything that is not interior plastic?

Tha would easily cost beween 5-10k I could hazard a guess, but It would be crazeyyyyy thing to do.

I'd be most worried about how the fire was put out than the damage itself. If water was used, you're going to be plagued with electrical problems for the remainder of the cars life. The owner would be best parting out or stripping the rest of the car.

Have a look at this. Looks very similar, only a lot cheaper, and with less miles.

Nice, that car must be sitting on that forecourt along time, look at the original sticker price on the windscreen. €17,995 :eek:

They did one of these on Discovery Turbo, Wrecks to Riches.
It turned into a way bigger job than they thought. Aswell as the fire damage, the wiring and rest of interior was ruined with water damage and roof needed replacing.
They spent weeks trying loads of scrap yards trying to find a complete matched interior.
