in 05 my 91 hatch got flooded, wondering if its more trouble than its worth to fix it
also wondering where i could get all the wiring harnesses if i were to redo it

Salt or fresh water? Salt is worse for the electrical, but fresh isn't too good either. Wether or not it's worth it depends on how flooded it got and what the overall condition of the car was to begin with. Not enough information to make a guess.

 

it was stock and very clean with only about 130,000 not sure if it was salt or fresh but it was about 6 feet of water

 

I'd be worried about mold as well as rust and corroded wiring. especially since the car was submerged. is there mud and crap caked up under every panel?

 

no i took out all the interior except some dash, i still need to hose it out one more time but there isn't any mud caked up. i wanted to get all new wire harnesses possibly out of a newer civic to upgrade everything

 

if you do that you should be alright. its all just up to you though

my friends old hatch that we named the submarine was submerged under water for some time and he brought that thing back to life . . kinda with a Type R

13.1 on a bottle

 

wow 6 feet that sucks

 

junk yard on all the wires... best cheapest bet... but get the harness from a car that doesnt look burned up.

 

6 feet? So the thing was sitting on the bottom of a lake?

I wouldn't know. Did you get mega storms over there or something.

hurricane katrina had everyone's car and houses under water down here some 15 to 20 feet
