No been done already. Get new engine and replace, then fix up old engine and mount it in the boot to run the back wheels :twisted: .

i have had a few motors in the past mine and customers cars that have sucked up water. i took out all the spark plugs sure enough there was water on the pistons so i took out the fuse for the fuel pump started the car with no spark plugs and the throttle fully open got all the water out replaced the spark plugs oil and filter and the car was fine drove as good as it did before :)
