[All] [Generic] THE END FOR DANSREV2TURBO !!!!! now with PICS !!!!

Post by dansREV2turbo »

Well this i think is going to be one of the last threads i ever start.

today my car was flooded, water up to the bottom of my windows, the only thing i managed to rescue in time was the power fc that was in the boot.

im expecting it to be a write off, my life has hit an all time low this week with other things on my mind too.


peace out :(

that`s a sad sight, especially because off all the work you`ve done... :(

if it is written off then make sure you buy it back for spares ...hopefully your insurance was like for like...

with the insurance money though and parts you can salvage just think what you could build next time though with the extra knowledge you have from doing this one.

Dan my thoughts are with you bud-such a sad sight :cry: :cry:

I really do hope the car is ok-you know what happened to that toyota HI-Lux on top gear-I know its different but that lived on (and still does) toyota know how to build a damn fine car-hopefully yours will be back with a bit of tweeking...when she's back out of the the water, get her down to a bodyshop-stick her in a spray booth for an hour with the doors/boot/engine lid/frunk open.

Worth a try bud-I will keep fingers crossed for you-dont loose hope yet :pray: :pray: :pray:

That's really bad!

Don't let the interior dry out naturally, go get a cheap wet and dry vacuum cleaner and extract all the water you can, use upholstery cleaner on everything inside or else mould will develop very quickly.

Get WD40 on everything electrical ASAP too to disperse the water and hold back corrosion.

All may not be lost, chin up dude.
