Water Damage

[kuwait]

so it was cloudy when i decided to take the mustang as usual to work , i thought even if it rained it wouldn't be bad i thought....
and so i went to work , driving there i noticed little drops of rain which turned into a storm within 3 min.... i couldn't see further than 20 yard ahead from all the rain. it was too late to turn back now and so i made a left turn under a bridge i ... not knowing that they were doing maintenance to the street and that there are a 3 feet hole where the drain used to be , which was - funny enough - sealed and clogged it , and i basically took a plunge into the water and was like how the hell so much water gathered under the bridge in such a short time , the car stalled but basically floated till the dry pavement ahead , i opened up the hood and tried undoing the spark plugs and start it so it would spit the water out , well... it did... but it clunked like a bitch and so the rebuild began

The aftermath:

Dude, holy ****. Be glad those rods didn't break, or else you may not have a block that is rebuildable upon.

That is some BS about that hole, they should have definitely had that blocked off or at least a sign warning you.

I have no idea what your luck with the legal system over there would be, but I think I'd attempt to receive some compensation for that if possible.

oh they wouldn't compensate my family if i was killed, let alone if my engine bends a rod

i got some Manley H-rods and dish pistons for a replacement , also got a new intercoooler and Edelbrok intake , just to get myself to feel better about the car

Where did you purchase the pistons from? They sure don't come cheap

i got them off cushman motorsports , they had a rather good deal on them and considering this little incident i couldnt say no

pictures to come

i was mad for a while till i figured out its all the excuse i needed to start doing all the engine work i wanted
after all , its an accident , it happens and being mad about it doesn't really make it any better plus i have 2 other cars to drive , although the mustang is my favorite and i do miss driving it lots.

here is a pic of the pistons i have , and here is a comparison stock vs manley rods i found on the internet

Ohh my stang is my daily driver thats why i said that as long as you have other cars thats good
Your right good excuse to build a motor.

That is why you never attempt to drive through standing water, way to destroy your car OP

yes , i know , i was late to work and i had to get there and i didn't think it would be that deep , i wouldn't even start the stang on a rainy day and would just drive my truck but this whole thing was an accident as i said , it didnt rain this hard in 7 years here so... yeah i could defently predict it would rain this hard , thank you for your kind words
