The problem with rebuilding a car that burned... the fire tends to warp and change the composition of the steel of the car. Making the car more easily dented, creased, and damaged later on even if you rebuild it perfectly.
And I agree 100% with Random, my first thought when I saw them leave the doors open was "why didn't they close them?" I think that if they had, the most they would have needed would be a new windsheild, dash, and wiring. Oh well, sucks to be them.

The fire extingusher they used looked like a home model that was old/lacking pressure. Nothing really seemed to come out of it. It may have been a Halon unit, but it didn't look like it.
Make sure whatever extingusher you keep in your car, that it is rated for Gasoline/oil AND Electrical.
