The sludge was even on the roof of the bug...
Looters have stolen the stereo equipment in a non too tidy fashion, damaging the inside and the electronics. All the (refurbed) carpets are soaked, so too is the battery beneath the rear seat.
The engine bay is half full of mud with the tide mark on the breeze block walls being approximately level with the top of the carbs, I think its safe to say that this engine isn't going to turn over again.The entrance halls to the flat are pretty badly damaged, the whole place stinks.... At least our personal belongings were safe up on the sixth floor, some people weren't so lucky. Not sure how long we'll stick around, probably just long enough to see the bug towed away....
Not good.

How do you stand for insurance on the bug? What with it being worth a fair bit more than the price you paid sor it?
I took out an agreed valuation policy so as long as they don't quibble i'll get back what I spent less my excess and my insurance which is non-refundable, its no where near what it would cost to build a motor of this standard but i'm not going to do that so I decided to go the reasonable route. I believe theyve pretty much already accepted (without seeing it) that its a write off as the total loss dept. are dealing with it.... Not the end of the world given the circumstances but a shame to see a vehicle like this dissapear into the ether. Hope i'll see some pics of the gosling before first flight?
