I've taken pictures of my car as I'm working on it. Pictures are waiting for review to get posted.
After reading phart's post above;
"There is a bond between family and there is a bond between man and his machine.
My first car, whatever it takes it will always be a part of my life.
Period."
I was curious about phart's second bullet, he writes; My first car, whatever it takes it will always be a part of my life.
I was asking phart what is the car that holds such a special place in his heart however he didn't want to respond to me.
It is not a "special " car, it is just special to me because it is the reason i am still living ,i was at that low point in my life when the end was looking much better than to continue and I got the car and it was just something that basically gave me a sense of independence and freedom I had not known until then.
To put it bluntly a few days before I got it, i was planning to steal my dads car and drive off a cliff,so that should tell you where i was in my life at that moment in time.
I was lead to believe my parents divorce was my fault and i had watched my dad cry 1 to many times and I had little to nothing to live for at the time.
To understand what this car means to me in a book would be a long job. I was abused, locked up in a room, unless I was in school well into my teen years. my old car was 1500 bucks that my dad worked hard on the weekends to get for me so I could get to a job or college or whatever. It was the first meaningful piece of property I had ever had. it gave me freedom ,responsibility, and working on it helped me to gain the talents i use to this day to earn extra money to make ends meet.
I sent you 2 a pm.

Fixable, nearly new. Just needed to be disassembled, cleaned up and some parts replaced.
Our car insurance just keeps climbing,although people like me drive safe and aren't wrecking everything. It is because people want instant gratification and are spoiled and wasteful with cars and etc.
I would much rather see Cody get the car he cares about fixed if it cost 10 grand to the insurance,than for the insurance to have to pay 20 grand and the car wasted.
Homeowners is about 1600 a year.
I was told by a wealthy fellow that i did some work for a few years ago that he checked insurance rates with different companys each year. Saves a few 100 bucks doing it.
Homeowners is such,no real way of knowing if you are covered or not because of fine print.
Did the water rise slowly into the structure or did it rush in? Was it rain or was it a pipe busted? every little detail matters.

There are so many claims in Florida that two thirds of the insurance companies went out of business. For a ins. Co. To stay in business in fl. They have to charge an enormous amount with half the coverage that they used to have. So many people can't afford there ins. Anymore that if there house is paid for, they go without ins. If there house is not paid for, there mortgage payment increases to compinsate for any loses the banks may lose. The only way an ins company can survive here is if they charge more for a lesser coverage.
Most of my knowledge and dealings is with heavy equipment, dozers and the like.
The detergents in oils and fluids will clean out the block and housings, just change frequently for a while.
Upholstery? Of course you have to remove it to clean the car properly. biggest reason cars are totaled is labor cost, not actual problems.

I have used it before and don't really know if it does any good or not except to tell the owner of the equipment it is on there.

It helps corosion from decreasing connection
As for inboard computer components eg ECU ,BCM once these are water affected it's the end of these components. Sometimes they ok for awhile the the check engine light comes on and off. Money light we call it in the industry as it can be a cheap fix or more than the car is worth
Moral to the story, water and electrics do not mix.
As for flood damaged cars, personally I would not touch one. I own a few cars two very expensive and even if it is just cloudy I won't take them out as weather here on the Goldcoast is very unpredictable. We get four seasons in one day slot during summer and my biggest fear is hail damage

Anyway, Russia has plans to nuke the USA, so we won't be needing cars,
If Russia nukes us I'm voting Republican.🤣😈
when a Drott loader goes under water in a sand pit to the point the exhaust flap is the only thing you can see except for muddy water,that means there is a bit more than a muddy seat.
OF course there are these cases as well.
