That Thing (ha) looks pretty nice.

I hope it's not damaged too much but the windshield looks crooked to me

With the storm surge I am betting it was gently floated and then washed with sand, so it may not have suffered much. I'd drain the engine and tranny, though... who knows what water/salt/sand made its way in.

Windshield frame looks badly bent.
