Burned car sitting outside can be really bad news. The fire burns
the paint and primer away so the body (as well as all steel) will
rust fast. There was a VW thing that had an engine fire and was left
sitting for a coupe of years before the junk yard was called. They
hooked a sling to the rear end of the car and when they picked it up
the car folded in half in front of the rear wheels. Then it broke.
Peace,
