now it wont start and now its got a size 8 foot
print dent on the door. i cant feel my hands and my backs killing me lol. so the moral of the story is dont drop live wires onto body work and only find out when you smell it burning

Done similar when I caught a wire which came out of its crimp on my last car which I'd spent ages putting a PC into. Started to smoke and melt
and I just grabbed handfuls of cables and just had to rip everything out in a panic 
its gonna be my doner for my locost anyway. but now ive gotta mess about and try and fix it. all i had to do was fix a loose wire then one thing led
to another and i fried it lol

As Mr Haynes always says - "disconnect the battery " 
I have a burn on my wrist from when my metal watchstrap shorted out on my battery post.........

i once dropped a spanner across the terminals of my battery throwing up loads of sparks, i slammed the bonnet down waiting for it to explode, but luckily it didn't. Must of been very discharged.
