One of those once it starts it's hard to stop deals. I suspect it may have rusted from the inside of the frame rail on that side out. It's the only reason I can think of for the speed of it. It's a shame because there's little to no rust on the rest of it.

Yeah, I'm going to go over there - hopefully this weekend - and take a good inventory and current pics. I'll probably post it up here. I called a couple of body shops around here just as a head check and one of them suggested Maaco as they advertise in-depth rust repair. I didn't have a good...

Well it's been awhile. The long and short of it is the Waggy is pretty much dead I think. The corrosion appears to be done with the side of the Jeep over to the rear passenger spring hanger and hasn't progressed, but I've not been able to find a professional around here willing to take it on...

Great tip, and thank you very much. I ran this by the body guy to see what he thinks. Still waiting on the borescope to look down inside to see what's doin'.

Fantastic suggestion, thank you. I just ordered one.

Update. So I finally hauled my ass over to the body shop where the waggy has been languishing to check out the rust issue. Rust issue is an understatement I suppose. Some of this we knew - the passenger side floorpan back to slightly behind the rear seat needs to be replaced. We obtained a...

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...

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...

Truth! I am not even 1/8 as bendy as he is. Probably not even a 1/16th.

I'm looking forward to when I can at least wrangle the kid into being my tool gopher, as I was with my dad before. Just collecting the parts I remember it needs, but at this point I'd need to lay eyes on it. It's been months since I've seen it.

*year older.

Oh just checking in. I think the Waggy should be back to the house soon. What a long, weird pandemic it's been. On the one side, I think of all the work I could've gotten done during this time, LOL. On the other, that's more time for me to do this stuff with my kid as he's gotten a year old...

Oh we're too far in to back out now. The problem I have without it here is that I start questioning things. Right now I'm questioning dumb stuff, like should we have repainted it a different color because there will be white parts visible. There's a particular reason, outside of loving the...

I like this logic, lol.

We made a conscious decision with this one to try our best to not read any of the invoices too hard. And to never look in the Waggy folder again once it's done.
