Engine fire......

Had an engine fire today. Big one. The whole engine was on fire. The 2 week old fuel line that I put in to replace the one that was leaking just decided to tear and spray fuel all in the inside of the engine.......luckily it was only on fire for about 3 minutes or so, someone across the street had a fire extinguisher and put it out. I think its salvagable. If not then keep on the look out for a 88 vert parts car :-D Pics to come soon if you want them.......

Lol its not going for parts yet! Im gonna try to fix it. It was fuel line from Auto Zone....It really isnt THAT bad. I mean, all the hoses are going to have to be replaced cuz they are either melted all the way through or have holes in them. And i bet all the wires are toast too so. Ive got my work cut out for me. How do I post pics here?
