kirks5oh Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 sucks, i'd be making dad pay for a new engine--not necessarily an upgrade, but he has to make it right. when you borrow someone's (anything), and break it due to your negligence, then you have to make it as good, or better than the condition you borrowed it--that's part of being a man. its not like the car randomly quit, it was damaged from clear negligence, assuming your story is correct (i don't know how it couldn't be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that last part was a bit hasty but I know I would be expecting him to take full responsibility in fixing it w/o me/you putting any money in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I hope you have full coverage insurance so you can just get a check sent out. Here is your excuse to buy an LS1 camaro. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'd bail on the car. The interior was flooded meaning the electrical connections will begin to corrode, and any electronics that have been submerged will degrade. Even if they all operate now, it's only a matter of time before they go. I had a customer who bought a flood car and ended up spending $3000+ to fix modules, sensors, and electronics that died a year after he purchased it.

QFT Here at the carlot if we pick up a car at auction and we get it back here and notice flood damage. We ship it directly back to auction never touches the car lot.

Dave1647545494 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 your going to want to either total that car out or pull the entire interior and replace the harness if you don't it will cause you all kinds of trouble later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadz89GTA Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Wait a year til the wiring starts taking a shit on you. In the end your going to be putting alot more then what you think into thsi car as now as everyone has said it's fucked. I had a 89 GTA that got wet when I left the t-tops out overnight, guess what it ran fine for a few months then POW! The harness started corroding like hell. Do yourself a favor and junk the car, buy a donor car and place your new shit in it. Sucks to hear but unless you want to start doing little shit everytime you turn around your fucked. Edit: When I say the GTA was wet I mean about 2-3 inches of water on the floorboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 if he logged the engine with water , it more then likely bent a rod. you can not compress water! and liek everyone else said, the wiring will go south! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
