i'd say yes and no..
in a modern car, sure it's a no go.
but the vanagon flooring isn't hard to take out and clean and monitor.
I'd spray some soapy water into the frame rails etc.. then once dry follow up with a preventative measure like Fluid Film. |

Its scrap value would be equal to the tax deduction on donation, so the actual money realized would be 30-40% of that at most

I’ve got an entire chassis harness out of an 86 so wire damage from water would be a minor concern.
