Driftit 2079 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 *awaits the parts available thread* Will pass on the salt water damaged parts thanks. On my phone I could only see a blonde lady driving and M3. Was wondering if it was Amber. But remembered she has a PPlate on hers. No offence Amber. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 I wonder how s54s handle salt water. I'm waiting for ray to maranise an s54 with a tricked smg in a race boat or something. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2079 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 By the time it is up for sale it will be stuffed. Just like a boat engine you need to drain and clean everything the same day it is submerged. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 Russell also sustained a minor injury to his left hand while rummaging on the seabed for something to use to smash the car window so he could get to the woman. He eventually found a spanner under the water. Imagine what's going through his head - "I need something to break in, a spanner or something, where will I find one of them in the sea".

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 Gearbox and diff ok though? Probably not given they also have breather holes at the top. So should have got some water in them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golfboy666GTI 68 Report post Posted February 24, 2015 How did you get the M3 so fast Ray? Did the owners not have insurance? I would have thought the insurance process would have taken a few weeks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
