Hi guys we have a 1996 Supra non-turbo which got caught up in the garage during the recent floods and was filled with water halfway to the speed guages.. I worked a bit on the car after the water had receded and did the following 1] took out the battery and hosed the radiator 2] cleaned the aircon unit ( looks like the smaller verson of the radiator ) with a damp cloth. 3] removed all the lights and indicators wiped all wiring and dried the light assembly for a couple of days. 4] removed the dashboard panels and used a Hair dryer to blow the electricals behind the speedometer for about an hour. Have Still kept the panels open to get whatever little evaporation i can 5] checked no water in the Engine oil 6] Petrol tank same level as before (luckily my wife had a peek at the petrol Level when she was driving home before) 7] no water in Brake fluid 8] no water in power steering fluid 9] no water dripping from the aircon vents 10] removed mats seat covers and all fixtures in the boot. 11] Removed the panels around the gear knob and used a sponge to wipe all wires and clean the area of water and dirt. 12] Have left the handbrake off 13] unplugged as many electrical connectors as i could and cleaned them I contacted the Toyota service stations and apparently they dont touch the Supra since its an imported model :( i do not have much experience in repair work but someone told me that there are 3 important peices i have missed and need to clean ASAP. The spark Plugs, the differential and the starter motor. I tried starting the car after doing all this with the old battery but i do not get any charge (remote access to door does not work as well which might mean that there is something wrong with the battery but not sure) Do you guys know of any good mechanic around Brisbane who might want to take up the challenge for getting it up and running. I am not worried about the interiors and the fancy stuff. just want it up and running roadworthy. I can spare about $10K to get this up and running and time is not the issue as we were on the verge of buying another Car so would not mind if this one takes months to fix. Any advise would be really appreciated.
