Aloha gang, it’s been a year and a half since my car was sitting in water up to dash. GEICO totaled it, I bought it back for 8k ( was paid off ) Car cover was on. The headlights were on in the pic because everything was shorting out. Some time, electric cleaner, dielectric grease. Took me about a week. BCM, TCM, ALL electrical plugs, connectors etc. Car still runs perfect a year and a half later
Kudos to you, keeping a nice car out of the scrapyards. Definitely not something I'd do I think. But then again, maybe I would, my Vette is like a 3rd or 4th car, so I guess there's no risk for downtime.

yep, my 3rd car too. I was forced to try, because where it was on the street, I couldn’t removed supercharger, headers, and all the other mods. So I bought it back before they could take it. Luckily I had that week off from work. It all worked out.
I give you props my friend. I also went through rebuilding a salvage car (not a flood car), and it took a lot of work and patience. Bought it on Craig's List 2 years ago. Went from a salvage to a show winner. Just finished installing Vertical Door kit because of needing more room getting in and out due to arthritic knee. You did great work to save a beautiful car! My salvage rebuild

J/K though I do wonder if there is any odor from the water.
no odor, I took out the carpets, everything was already like new, so just steam cleaned them, same with the foam in the seats, cleaned the leather covers, smells great inside.
