While I have very sympathy for the owner, I couldn't agree more. As a retired industrial chemist with a bit of knowledge about the integrity of steel structures after fire, any car that has been in such a high temperature fire should not be put back on the road. You only have to look at what is done to make steel malleable and the subsequent plunging into cold water or oil to give it back its strength. Not practical with a car bodyshell.
