MG TF Tragedy!

Hello All,

Our tragedy is that our family heirloom MG TF was the subject of an
assault by Hurricane Fran on September 5th along the coast of North
Carolina.  Specifically, the car was submerged for  several hours in 30
inches of salt water that invaded my mother's garage.  She was away
visiting her kids across the country, myself included, and no one was
able to take care of the car immediately afterward.  In fact, it still sits
moistly, I suspect, in that garage although family is now there at least
visiting.

The engine and body were in good condition, although it had not been
run routinely for years, being relagated to a "project" by my dad until his
death last Spring.  We are the second owners, having bought the car in
1961.

Is there anything that could be done to rescue or revive or renovate the
car, or its parts,  at this point?  Does it have any value whatsoever, or
should it just be forgotten as scrap?

Any suggestions??    Advice would be much appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!

John Wells
