Think I’m going to have to cross mine off the VIN registry.
Fuck, I love this car. Corrosion already starting everywhere the water made it up to. Going to hose it down with fresh water and spray some WD-40 wherever I can. Looking for any tips on how to preserve as much as possible.  |

I've thought about this quite a bit over the past few days. I'd still do what I suggest, but with one change. I'd take out the interior and carpets, door panels, back pad, etc. Then flush it all out really good with fresh water, shop vac it dry. Then make a plastic room around the car, put a dehumidifier in the room set on max dry, open the doors hood and deck lid, and let it go like that for about a month. After that I'd do the corrosion treatment on it. Just my .02 This really sucks though.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Well mostly, I personally still wouldn't drill more access holes but either way, its a fair bit better than not flushing it with fresh water. The main reason I'm not for drilling more holes is that the water is going to have to come out in the form of water vapor as it dries. IMHO there were sufficient ventilation holes placed in the structure as part of the design to allow for water incursion, draining, and evaporative drying. Either way, thre really is no "right" answer. The main thing is to get the salt waster flushed as well as possible. I know you must have way more presssing issues than trying to save the car but better to do more sooner than put it off, especially w.r.t. the engine. Sooner that is flushed, and started to get heat into it to drive out any residual water, the better. |
