Does the salt water hurt the fiberglass ?
Where the holes are drilled and it’s raw fiberglass can it delaminate ?
and if it’s a VW floor pan car , how do you clean out the inside of the tunnel ?
thanks for the info

Short answer, yes.

Water can soak into any exposed edge or smashed area where the surface seal has been compromised. This can be lessened with higher quality resins, but we see it the worst in the high volume production resins common in chopper gun bodies and a lot of mass produced (older) boats.

I have not restored a submerged bely pan, however there are internal frame coatings marketed as rust "converters" that, in theory, will lock in rust and prevent it from continuing and they make spray equipment with long hoses and a nozzle on the end in order to insert it into one pipes/frame and coat the insides for this purpose.
