Koh,
Without seeing the car it is of course difficult to make an accurate
judgement but I would suspect that if you are paying someone else to
do all the work that it will soon rack up the bills $$$. Depending on
the extent of the fire there could also be damage to sheet metal which
may require new panels (hood?) as well as damage to electrical as well
as hoses. If you have a good parts car and the time and skills
Onyoruself then it may be worth it but otherwise ...
Good Luck!
John
