I’m still kicking around. Not much to post right now.
I’m still waiting on some parts, and trying to find some parts, lol. Once I have em we. An finish the exterior for now.
I also got a little side lined by taking possession of my late fathers e30, which was on pretty rough shape. It’s pretty good now though!
Same general post really, but I'm still around. I haven't abandoned the WW yet, though in my weaker moments I consider offloading it. I don't need or want two projects.
The aforementioned late father's e30 has come along nicely. I've got it pretty sorted at this point. It needs some electronics stuff, a new radio (though that probably qualifies as "electronics stuff", and the A/C system converted. That last one isn't really a rush. Since it's a convertible I don't really know if I care about the A/C system.
On the Waggy - The body shop/restoration guy called awhile back and said he noticed some rust creeping towards the passenger side leaf spring hanger that concerned him. He suggested it would be fine so long as there aren't any plans to off road the WW or do anything hardcore with it - of which that was never the plan....
....but I don't like the sound of that. Obviously structural integrity is important. I've not seen the rust in detail / up close yet, and even so I'd trust his opinion over mine.
I've been researching spring hanger relocation kits in the meanwhile, but at the same time wondering if it's enough that I should cut my losses.
I suspect anything is fixable with enough cash. I'm in pretty deep as it is. I'd prefer to save it, still.
