Two men were lucky to escape with their lives after they accidentally set their northwestern Sydney home on fire while refurbishing a pair of classic cars.

Paul Seychelle, 47, and Matthew Thompson, 44, were restoring a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback and a 1961 Ford Mustang Boss 302 when the arc welder they were using sparked a fire in the ground floor garage shortly before 1.30pm.
