RE: Arsonist strikes '81 FSP car

Now that, is a true sign, of a pussy.  Straight up, that's weak. 
Probably, some kids that were out to set fire to someone's nice car, saw the
car cover and <flick-flick---poof!>.  I remember hanging out with other kids
when I was into the whole hesher scene and cat's would brag about stuff like
that. They'd always get beat down later because they'd do something stupid
like that to the wrong person.

I'm sorry to hear that, but luckily you can rebuild.

Subject:	Arsonist strikes '81 FSP car

Last night while Doug Teulie was sleeping, someone poured combustible fluid 
on roof of the MK1 autox car and lit it on fire. The car had a cover on and 
was parked on the street. The fluid ran down the seams of the hatch so the 
roof and hatch got burned.  The hatch glass fell into the car which allowed 
the fire to burn the headliner and the tops of the seats.  The inside is a 
real mess from the buring plastic dripping on everything below.  The tail 
lights melted as did the bumper cover.  The Zender rear spoiler is gone.

Luckily, the suspension did not get touched.  Nor did the engine or 
transmission.  Doug and Mike put in coilovers two weeks ago.  Last week Doug

installed Corbeau race seats.  Those seats are now history.

I haven't seen the car yet.  I'm going by after work.  We will probably get 
another hatch, replace the gas tank and all its rubber pieces, replace the 
interior and paint the car.  It will take some time, but it might be a 
little less time than transferring all the goodies into another car.

What a bummer!  We won't be at Hollywood Park this Sunday for the event (at 
least not in this car).
