(I posted this to the thesamba forum as well at http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2364193#2364193. Sorry if that is bad etiquette but I wasn't approved for the mailing list yet). Hi all, I just purchased this 86 syncro westy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...amp;rd=1,1 It's my first and I'm wondering what the right steps are to get it properly inspected (to understand how much more I will be spending ;). Since it is a NE vehicle and has outside rust, my main worry is rust. I'm assuming I need to take it somewhere other than a standard repair shop to properly inspect the inside body (e.g. look behin the fridge). Its up by Albany, NY, but I live in Kansas City and plan to drive it back in the next couple of weeks. Thanks! d |
