Introduction or Good bye??

Sup guys.
Ive never been able to introduce myself because ozhonda wont let me create an account so i have been using my friend 'jwai's' account for a while now.
Anyways...ive been a proud owner of a dc4 since my 16th birthday in 2005. This being my pride and joy with heaaaaps of DIYs down the drain...literally.
So i bought the car bone stock...since then...colour coded mouldings, side skirts and bumper...bought rims...alpine stereo system...dc5 seat swap...blue interior lighting...had cannon installed with 2.25" piping from headers...CAI...blacked out tailights...lowered...etc
This was my car yesterday at 5pm:

Why goodbye? if you havnt heard...newcastle has been/still is victim to a 'natural disaster' last night...a flood and harsh wind conditions....i got stuck within it...
literaly 10m from high ground...water had got to the engine...it turned off and it was no longer....had to jump out the window and swim about 20m to get to safety...i could only salvage...the pants i was wearing...my bonds tshirt....my uni book...my phone and wallet...
This was as good as i could get from last night...sorry bout the quality:

The writing says: the roof of my car....just floating around
So basically...i say hi guys...i love cars...but for now...i guesss i have to wait and see the result...i'll keep it updated...hopefully the teg survived...i was upset...but all i can do is laugh..
:thumbsup: pete

sorry to hear abt ur car mate. hope ur car survived! =) if not, maybe u can salvage some parts from it and then sell it (or keep it for ur next car) lol

crap, what a waste. sorry to hear about it. hope u guys can recover from a nasty disaster. keep ya head up! :D

thats hc...sorry to hear dude
did it actually float around?
thought it woulda sunk...how deep was the water?

You can always make this an excuse and purchase a b18c DC2 :) Sorry to hear that dude. Sucks ass.

Good bye.

woooo.
the teg just pulled up into the driveway....
i laugh i laugh..
its currently a bathtub....the dash is just brown....pretty upseting but atleast i got the heads up that it may still be fixable...
if not...im doing black interior...and hopefully buying a typeR engine....'hopefully'.
i'll let everyone know as it comes along :D

all your electrics are probably rooted.
or will be sooner or later.
lol.
big job to fix, with i reckon all the eletrics ****ed up, and what not, lol.
i reckon, it was left there long enough for water to get into the motor.
NICE!
lol
good luck with it all, hope things turn out well for ya!
lol

GG car. Hope it was fun the time you had it. Get a new car it'll be ****ed for sure and don't see any point restoring it too much $$$

welcome.. well sorta.. sorry to hear bout your car man out of curiosity would insurance pay you out for this if u? assuming u were insured...

sorry to hear that man, like other people said , you definately should start looking for a new car, there is no point to keep that, or maybe time for a hybrid , the body should still be ok, gl man

Thanx for all the words guys...
however...despite the thousands of ppl that have sed:
you car is ****ed ...lol...hah...ha...
me and my dad have taken the challenge to fix it. this morning we have spent hours on end, ripping apart the interior...alls going well so far....im hoping that eventually...wen the interiors back together...and we start working on the engine...that it wont work and they say they're guna buy me a new engine or car...definately staying with honda but!
unfortunately...insurance wont pay cuz i was 'only in the progress of paying off for comp insurance' as the GIO ppl say...
so far...money has not been an issue...its just been time consuming and causing alot of frustration....
heres some pics...
