best way to sort out flood damage
went home for the first time in a little while yesterday, only to discover that my garage (and car) has been flooded with all the rain..
there's a massive puddle in behind where the seats will be, my oil cooler/catch tank/fuel tank, and no doubt loads of other bits have been soaked (cant' get to the back of the garage to see anything else.).
anyone got any ideas how to sort this lot out?
the water's gone now, by the way. (other than the puddle inside the car) from what i can see, it looks like about 2 feet of water was in the garage.
thankfully the front end's still right up in the air on stands, otherwise i reckon there'd be even more inside the car.

I'd drill a hole in the sills and chassis rails at the lowest point as water will likely have found its way in and get a dehumidifier in the garage for a while

no way am i drilling holes in the chassis rails other than the existing ones... the ziebart has kept the inside of them mint since 1980... might do a couple of small ones in the floor though.
no power in there either unfortunately so dehumidifier is not gonna happen.
thanks for the advice guys.
