Under Water Solstice

[Solstiholic]

Greetings Gang,

Does anyone have any experience with rebuilding a flood car? I have a pretty good grip on the overall freshwater skinny dip of a car and the ramifications and would like to speak with any folks who've taken on the challenge. It's a GXP and worth giving mouth-to-mouth....What better place to ask.

Feel free to contact me directly.

Cheers,

Michael

No experience, but there has been a owner here who's had no end of problems resulting in many blown ECMs and weird symptoms all caused by corrosion in a remote part of the wiring harness. Huge task to take on, but you're gonna need to make sure every connector is clean and dry and that you unwrap and dry/clean every part of the entire wiring loom throughout the car. Ugh!

The flood car I was hunting sold at auction for $4,250.00. 'S' title- Yellow GXP. I low-balled my bid just to see if I would end up with it but didn't and just like you, I had it in mind for a project. In my daily Solstice hunting, I can't believe how many are getting totally wrecked or otherwise ending up with 'R' or 'S' titles. As time goes on we'll see fewer and fewer good clean low mileage cars come along. However I do believe that they are great investments...especially if we take care of them!

Karen and I are now up to four Solsti, drive them daily...and wrench together! True Love!

My hunting for a winter project car continues!

Cheers,
Michael
