Mate I feel sorry for this misfortune.

Whoever did this to you shuld be brought into justice.
Who the f...k can be as stupid to do such thing? Where were the officers that night?

I am pretty sure that the car can be restored once again but after being dropped into water my concern would be the corrosion afterward.

The engine shuld be fine but the electric wires - all around- can be pain.

Anyway good luck mate.

P.S. Could you please post the pictures of the roof?

Luckily it is fresh water, not salt, so corrosion shouldn't be too bad. The relays and fuse box would be my biggest concern, also drain the petrol out and chuck it.

Was the car completely submerged into pond? Marc is right though. At least it was fresh water. Salt water could have been disastrous, particularly for the engine. It will dry out eventually. Use an air compressor to ease out trapped water from the fuse box and other areas.

Really sorry to see this- that's just awful- I think i have a bis ignition barrel and key at home if you want it to help start to sort this, I'm sure that other members of the community might be able to help if you decide to fix it....

I'd start by getting that interior out and get some trays of cat litter in there to pull the moisture out!

one resprayed and another arrives- double trouble BIS style!!

Don't sell her, Beryl is one of my favourite 126's on here. It all adds to the story of your ownership.

 Before you turn it over, remove the plugs then spin it on the starter, to get all that water. You will need to drain the gearbox oil out as well, leave it over night to do so. you may also use a wet and dry vacuum to suck all the water out of the fabric. If things are really that bad perhaps we could all set a fund up for this poor fella even if its to pay for the recovery. ? Say a fiver each might help .Im just seeing the numbers of people read this post(ok some will be read by the same persona fw times but even £5.00 from 100 readers thats new oils points and recovery paid for.

Good idea 5 spot would be ok by me to help a mate out at this time, maybe through paypal through the contribution account if that would be ok by all.

I'd be very happy to make a small donation - I would be beyond words if that happened to me.

The moral support and technical help will be enough.

I still can't really face inspecting the car fully. Will have a good look at the weekend.

Where were the officers that night?


There probably wern't any! You can blame the government for that!!!! 20% cuts to policing means more crime, and more w****ers like this on the streets!

But on the brightside, as there are fewer police on the streets when you find out which gimps did this to your car you can go and give them a hiding and probably get away with it  ;D

Hoep its not too bad, and it can be salvaged.

Now 2 days later, no contact from the police, no neighbours asked if they saw anything. Nothing at all.
