John, I can give you a hand on Saturday. Be sure to seal the deal with the Insurance before we start the resurrection. Give me a call if you want a hand on Saturday. Tim
I'll bring the Diff Fluid. I got some in stock.

It Lives ! The resurrection has taken place. We just got finished, stripped the interior , flushed and changed the fluids, removed the exhaust and a few gallons of water. Cleaned the ECU connectors. Fired it up 
John just drove it around the neigbhor hood with an open header, no front bumper or headlights.

John,
Sorry to hear about your car. I remember you telling me about the stream in your back yard. If I would have known what happen earlier I would have been glad to give you a hand going over it. I think you got a great deal on the buy back considering you got it running with no engine or ecu damage. Track car seems like a great idea. If you still need a hand with anything let me know.

SHE'S ALIVE! 
Much thanks goes to Tim and Joe who put in some hard work to get it running :bow . It was about 5 1/2 hours and we gutted the interior and trunk, removed front end, changed engine oil, trans fluid, diff fluid, removed exhaust, cat, cleaned headlights, cleaned all electrical contacts, changed engine oil, trans fluid, and diff fluid again, replaced cat, replaced exhaust.
I took it out for 10 minutes without the cat or exhaust and it sounded like a race car
. I got some nasty looks. 
So a little more rebuilding, maybe a race seat or two and Fall Colors is back on track.
I'll get some pictures tonight. They don't look as bad as before but they aren't show quality.
