Does anyone have any experience with returning a flood build car to the road?

Unfortunately, that's usually referred to as a parts car. Certainly an ambitious goal. With regard to the electronics, unless everything is replaced, it will haunt you with ghost problems.

Unless your going to take the car down to the frame and start over. Worth more as parts.

Depends how high the water was. If it was up to computer level (about 18 inches) it is just a pile of parts.
