They probably wouldn't mine if you liquid nail the doors and stuff shut to make it water worthy.

Lookin good
Take the phone off the hook
Put fuel in tank, fill it up
1/4 inch plywood over of the trunk area, about 6 sheetmetal screws with duct tape over all edges
3/8 plywood over door area, few screws--duct tape edges
Duct tape over signal light holes
Seats if you got um, but a couple lawn chairs work or maybe large ice cooler for front seat would be worth having
Leave the engine cover off and run straight exhaust up
Keep it simple--just a few ideas to speed you on your merry way
Oh, do a little experiment---on the front hubs----get a new metal bearing cap from those nice California folks and then get C-man to lend you one of the rubber ear cover/shot glasses and see which bearings go first
Inquiring minds and that Chinese guy want to know

Dave,
I took a look at BW4 and am a tad bit concerned about
water worthyness... err the possible lack there of. Now
I do know how to swim, but should I bring my bright yellow
water-wing inflatable donuts just in case?
No doubt you'll have that car in ship shape by swim time
and I know you always carry a caulk gun for those little
leaks and duct tape for the big holes and lots of bailing
buckets. No worries... Right?
Less than a week of waiting to go - viva Sabula!
Be Well, Swim Safe.
