My car has been submerged and there is extensive water damage. Is at repairable - at any cost? Can anything be done with the engine, transmission and body, which are still in excellent condition?

Normally when cars are underwater to many things are damaged to make it worthwhile to repair. Abou t the only thing tha can be saved it sthe engine, trans/axles etc. But they have to be torn apart and cleaned, or rebuilt. The body would be ok but everythng inside it would have to be scrapped due to water. Of course tha tis aslong as rust hasn't set in
