It was on 3rd party insurance so basically it doesnt covered. Well i'm not in US teritorry,I'm just an Expat living in Abu Dhabi and finding parts for Hummer would be a challenge. Hummer is always my dream car and owning 1 is a pride for me,as a self achievement becoz I will never get a chance owning 1 back in my own home country.

finally after 2 months,my car ready for test drive. the cause for the delay was i'm ask the mechanic to look for used parts,obviously it is the cheapest option. few parts still missing : fuse junction box cover and engine ecu cover. anybody know where can i get those covers?
earlier i mentioned the coz of the fire is the battery,but well it is comin from a faulty alternator. Mechanic tested the alternator and found it doesn't stop charging even-thou the battery is full. so i get a new alternator,new brake master cylinder and new engine bay hood steel cable. the rest is used item.
