FIRE DESTROYS MY DREAM CAR

[@andrewfrench1941]

Hi sorry to see the bad news I know you spent hours on the hummer fixing it up

[@builditwithrob]

Thank you mate

[@DJProjectss]

Been watching you do this for ages!!!! Can’t believe this!

[@jasonelder5596]

DIY Gang is your man to repair this !

[@impaleds]

Sorry to see this happened to your hummer, I was mostly watching your loft conversion videos but I saw some of your work on this one, and must be countless hours and sweat and money. Love to hear you moving on with new project, and keep being healthy.

[@jbll36]

Oh Rob. I'm so sorry you lost your vehicle. You put a lot of time into the build but you're very talented. I can see you building another vehicle soon. Have a great day. Ray L

[@johncoppock3823]

With all that you learned, and keep learning, the next project will be even better, and you will bounce back. Ultimately it's all about what you do. If I had the cash it would be yours. Hindsight: Get a battery disconnect isolator for the next one. Also think about fire detection and extinguishers. Have a look at some race cars for all that. Glad it didn't burn the house and garage and prob better you weren't there when it happened. In meantime the Rover is a great project and what a buy. Best of luck with the new Turbos.

[@builditwithrob]

Thank you John

[@1ninjatiger]

Aww thats gutting Rob. You put so much work and attention to detail into your hummer. If the hummer is your dream car then go for it..we will all watch every video. Take care

[@builditwithrob]

Thank you

[@fin4795]

Go for it mate. I’ll send £75 to give it a start - send me details!! Nothing will come anywhere near the love you had for that build! Go do it again, pal. Best wishes on your next build…

[@joshausterlitz3798]

Unfortunately, this was a known issue (at the dealer anyway) that GM never did a recall on, they did do some recalls on the H3 and blamed the HVAC relay for, but never knew what the issue really was. We had gotten some H2s in on trade with that fuse box having a burn spot/melted on C2 connecter under the fuse block at pins B7 ground and B8 being an unprotected battery voltage right beside each other and had melted together. I also saw some with melted VSES/ECAS (electronically controlled air suspension relay) with 60A fuse not blown. These are only what i've seen and my theories to what it could be causing this, i have no proof, but something was up as this was the same relay box used in all the 2500 and 3500 gas pickups and never really saw any issues like this with them. My only advice to anyone with a H2 and H3 would be put a battery disconnect on negative ground and disconnect it whenever not in use and have a fire extinguisher in the car, it sucks to have to say that but that's what i'd do if i owned one.

[@builditwithrob]

Thanks for the knowledge I didn’t know it was a common thing

[@stevebowley962]

So sorry to see this Rob. A lot of hard work and enthusiasm put into that project. Main thing is you and family are OK.

[@builditwithrob]

Thank you Steve

[@NickJ2473]

Oh noooo!!! So sorry to hear this Rob. A call to Car SOS I feel coming on .....

[@coop_coop007]

We should never get attached to things, people are what counts, but it is awful hard not to. Now, how about a new Ineos Grenadier?

[@lexpoppens8223]

Rob-So sorry to see this. Sending good thoughts from Illinois.

[@romypunepe5591]

Next new project rob.. Hummer this dream your car

[@builditwithrob]

I would love a Dodge Ram or Ford f250

[@rayclark44]

OMG Rob, I don't really know what to say. I couldn't watch the majority of that video I'm afraid, just the first few minutes mate. "All that work & love" The only saving grace is that no one was injured and hopefully the machine can kind of be replaced. Kindest regards to you Rob 😥

[@builditwithrob]

Thanks Ray appreciate that

[@skaterguy52]

Old Ford bronco, awesome cars and never seen one over here

[@IrishBoyEd]

Gutted for you mate. Very sorry for your loss. Atleast nobody was hurt.

[@IrishBoyEd]

Get a cyber truck Rob?

[@allansharp5528]

Rob, I'm absolutely gutted for ya. i watched all your posts on that hummer. you made a 1st class job on it. don't give up, keep banging away at your dream.

[@craiggreenhalgh1082]

No One Was Hurt That's The Main Thing ❗ On To Another Project 👍

[@builditwithrob]

Cheers bud

[@keithbiddle8502]

Sorry to hear about the hummer Rob I followed you for a long time and watched the videos you had a real passion for that car I hope you find a new project soon and look forward to seeing the new videos on it

[@netcom9411]

I am very sad about this bad news, I followed all the stages of the renovation, it's very very hard what happened. courage life goes on it's not easy but you have to walk forward courage. I follow you from then Algeria 🇩🇿 courage to you....

[@builditwithrob]

Thank you appreciate your supports

[@Radictor44]

Rob, so sad to see this. But look on the bright side, it didn't catch your house so that's a huge positive, and remember it's about the journey, not necessarily the destination.

[@tonyknight3690]

Sorry for your loss, gutting after all the hard work you put into it, I am looking forward to your next project.

[@builditwithrob]

Thanks Tony

[@gelosul]

It's sad it happened but you can't let it get to you. Start again with another project.

[@mrpaul5726]

Life is a bummer sometimes, bummer hummer I suppose. We feel your loss brother a lot of time, love and cash went into that project, hang in there Rob, better days will come.

[@GuyverGamingTV]

Gutted mate, was looking great. I'm a Ford guy so I'd go for a F250 or even a newer F150. The Ford trucks are definitely nicer then the ones we have. I love the Ranger wildtrack, can't afford one but love them lol. But the American ones are a little more advanced then what e have atm until the new Ranger comes out end of this year beginning of 2023, they are same as the American ones.

[@craigrobertsonmsc.6260]

I'm confused. Well done to the firebrigade for containing the damage. Best wishes for the future.

[@Steaky78]

Gutted to see this Rob. But look on the bright side off the back of this you’ll move in another direction and have fun with another vehicle. Key thing is both you, your family and your house are ok - it could have been much worse if the fire had spread to the decking etc. So, next truck. I’d say go ford. Maybe a Raptor or something like that.

[@sicknslick4751]

Gutted mate 😭😭😭 was looking so forward to seeing it all done 😢

[@bigchopper14]

Devastated for ya, i can imagine how gutted you'd feel after all that work, it was so nice.... there are no words.

[@brighton_locksmith]

Rob, Absolutly gutted for you mate. I've watched the whole process of you building this and the amount of blood, sweat and tears you've put into it is just heartbreaking. Really sorry for you mate!!!
