My 1994 Shadow, with 216,6xx miles on it is experiencing some of the same "structural weaknesses", due to "road salt poisoning". We're looking for replacement frame pieces, and not having much luck. My biggest problem is that there are no "car payments" in my retirement income, and walking everywhere will only extend my life, making my retirement income....."insufficient for the extended duration". Kind of a "Catch 22, _____ if I do _____ if I don't" moment.
I do have a repair shop that can fabricate the necessary "fix", if parts are truly unavailable, and for a reasonable* price.
* reasonable price; N, meaning "less than the bluebook value of the car"

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
