To be honest I really don't know what I'm gonna do. Not a single item it salvagable so really have lost everything:(

Gutted for you mate, such a shame!

im gutted for you, as i was talking to you at french car show last year and ur a top bloke, good luck in the future

No way mate - really sorry to see this, fucking nightmare :n:

And the fucking insurance, what cunts, makes you realise there really is no point having it as it's not worth the paper it's written on! :wall:

he is a engineering genius, im sure he will build somet amazing next, he has already got another c2 i think

fuckinghell mate i feel so sorry for you :(

i cant begin to imagine how you feel now

Gutted for you, looked an insane c2. Insurance companies are fucking twats.

As some of you already know after the brutal ending of the original v6 and v12 C2 in the garage fire iv set off building v12 again from scratch!!!

Iv already got the new c2 shell another cat c crash damaged 1.4 furio which I have managed to sell the interior and engine from.

The only part I managed to salvage from the original build was the rear half of the cage/engine cradle. This will save me 3 weeks fabrication work on building it.

So the story continues and I'll let the pictures do the talking.




















As you can see its coming along nicely.
Its just about ready for the second motor to be dropped in now.

utmost respect for doing it again, id have lost all motivation after that fire.
sure itll be amazing when youre done :y:

Nicole words exactly, i felt so gutted for you when i saw the photos from what happened to C2V12 Mk1.

You sir, are an inspiration!
to get the first one up to that insane standard, to get knocked all the way back down.
and then to come back and do it all again!!!
Hats off to you! :)

First time I have seen this thread, thought your old car was amazing, completely gutted when I read about the fire.

Fair play for starting again, this one will be even better than the last!

Best of luck with the project. One day many years in the future you will think back about just how amazing the car is especially after losing the first. Im shure you will make something even better

Biggest respect for starting again, very gutted about your old c2 was such a nice car, best of luck with this one:y: i know what your going through i had to start from scratch to which isn't nice at all! this c2 should be even better;)

I didn't realise about the fire until tonight, I have the utmost respect for you getting back on your feet with this build :) Good luck and hope it all goes well, I will keep an eye out for it :)

Your nuts starting again but you deserve utter respect well done on rapid updates

this is now the thread ill be looking out for the most!! amazing story to tell once all completed!! MASSIVE RESPECT!

Thanks everyone.
This one will be bigger and better. Hopefully be on road in a month or 2.
Thanks again. It's this that drives me to keep building.

What's the engine out of ???

Was completly gutted when I saw the results of the fire

But happy to see youve started again. Superb dedication

fantastic m8, was awsome to begin with
gutted when it went up
and now ur bringing it back again
amazing work m8 RESPECT to you

didn't know about the fire until now, such a shame, VERY VERY impressed your doing it all agaib, but better. Mega respect mate :y:

glad to see a mk2 is being created. What have you decided didnt work as well as it could and is now being upgraded, or is it really only doing to be different cosmetically?

Kev

The engines are from 406 coupe 210bhp d8 engines:) very strong and reliable
gaz

The only real changes are to gear linkage and clutch hydraulics. All the wiring is now the c2 multiplex system where the old one was all 406 harness so I'm now managing to keep c2 clocks with everyting working!!! Main diferance is just cosmetics. This one won't be kitted up just subtle changes.
Gaz

The rear end is slowly coming together now

omg sorry to here whats happen to your car and glad you have started it again ......
im not talking shit here but there are that many people on this site and think we all should help you out . we all would feel gutted if this happen to are cars and wouldnt be able to start the project again i think we should all donate a little bit of money to you to help you along it is christmas is anyone else up for this ????????????

all id like is support in way of following my built that would give me more satisfaction. wouldnt want money from anyone, it was my own error that killed the garage. needless to say i have plenty fire extinguishers now lol.thanks anyway

Just saw what happened now, I'm sure I recognise that car in the back, is it a 3 door Nova with loon arches?

He did say the shell was twisted in unit fire, I was gutted for him, it was a nice little project.
