Jeff, I bought my time machine delorean from a junk yard in New Orleans back in 1992. It had been under water for 4 months from hurricane Hugo(?). The engine had one rusted cylinder- otherwise it ran. The trans needed new lube. The interior was rotted but I replaced it. Also rebuilt the brake system and cleaned up the wiring. Your car is not a total loss. See if you can get it totaled by the insurance company and then buy it back for "parts" really cheap. Don't under estimate JZD design.
