Assessment is over, let the cryng begin
Well, I couldn't just stand by so I got started...
Note the roof - looks like it took a pretty good hit from the barn beam that collapsed onto it. Luckily for me, I was able to locate a complete replacement roof frame - albeit in blue, but it can at least be recovered.
Previous owner had partially disassembled the dash area - I might need a few parts.
I located a manual specific to the Cabriolet items (S2 and 968 share these parts) on eBay. It's a plus.

So, the disassembly of Wilma continues.
Nearing completion now and down to a few major items before I start taking the wiring harness pieces out (with numerous labels!).
Besides the barn collapse that resulted in the destroyed windshield, Wilma has been exposed to floodwaters. Based on my evidence collected during disassembly, I believe the car was flooded up to about the top of the glovebox area.
Looks like a majority of the connectors experienced minimal corrosion. Control units will have to either be inspected internally and cleaned or replaced...
That said, also discovered evidence that the passenger side fender had been replaced at some point in time. See photo attached. No other evident damage and only minor evidence of surface corrosion. Now to remove the undercoating to permit removal of the D Side fender.
Just have a few more items to go and the chassis will be done to the basic shape ready for striping in preparation for paint.

Rust never sleeps...
After getting the Passenger side fender off easily, of course it was time to move to the Drivers side.
The Passenger side had been replaced with no adverse effects noted other than the poor paint adherence noted to the underside of the fender.
The Drivers side proved to be a little more interesting. Removal of the undercoating took about an hour to strip off the stuff using a combination of paint scrapers and finally a small prybar to finally remove the fender. Lurking underneath was a little corrosion, not to bad though overall. Easily recoverable with no issues except a little work to to correct.
No real explanation except to point out that where the fenders meet up with the chassis, moisture can intrude and then become trapped in the minute gap between the two.
A shout out to Gene for prompting my pursuit of removing the fenders.

Thanks Raj
You're right on with the assessment - mostly. There has been some minor degradation beyond the surface, but it is minimal.

Well...since Wilma is destined to become a stick shift I'm in the market for the Clutch pedal assembly.
If you have one, please let me know.
Obligatory pic to demonstrate progress.
