In this latest escapade from the JR Garage team, they unveil a striking new addition to their collection - the flooded rs60 spider from the aftermath of Hurricane Helen. As they delve into the car's exterior, a peculiar discovery of Rusty lugs raises suspicions about the waterline's reach during the flood. The team's inspection of the engine reveals potential water damage to the exhaust, hinting at the challenges ahead in reviving this drowned Porsche.

Venturing inside the car, they are met with a grim sight of mold-infested seats and a soggy car cover, painting a vivid picture of the car's watery ordeal. Despite the daunting task ahead, the team discloses their winning bid of $9,400 for this waterlogged beauty, showcasing their appetite for automotive rescues. Further exploration uncovers a telltale waterline, providing a crucial clue to the extent of saltwater damage inflicted upon the vehicle.

As they confront issues with the emergency pull cable and battery corrosion, the team's determination shines through in their quest to resurrect this rare gem. Unveiling the car's unique identity as number 724 of only 1960 rs60 spiders ever made adds a layer of significance to their salvage mission. With each discovery and setback, the JR Garage crew navigates the challenges of bringing this drowned Porsche back to life with a mix of resilience and enthusiasm, showcasing their unwavering passion for automotive adventures.
