Re: [T3] if you had an air ride?

<x-flowed>fess=> would remove the air ride system when restoring it?

I'd expect that this one is too far gone for a sensible restoration, 
given what else is available on the market. If you're wondering about 
the value on air bags, I'd say the engineering is unlikely to be any 
better than the stock suspension (other than the kneel-in-the-weeds 
factor) and likely to be poorly thought-through for a real driver. This 
feels like a gee-whiz project to me.

For you and others who are looking for a way to 'improve' the 
engineering of your Type 3, here's a tip: save up lots of money and buy 
a Porsche of the same vintage. Your Type 3, stock, tuned and well 
maintained, can perform almost that well. Don't underestimate what you 
have.
