Pictures of my Burb

Bought this burb in Texas back in December for $1000. Thought it was a great deal until my drive home. The first thing to go wrong was a cloud of smoke I left across Texas and into Arkansas. Then the transmission went out and I was stuck in the middle of no where Arkansas. Towed into Memphis and had the transmission rebuilt.

When I bought it it was going to be a temporary vehicle but a decision had to be made, should I repair or junk the burb. After a few days deliberation I decided to repair it and had the transmission rebuilt. Drove it home to St Louis and the real monies began.

As of today I have: replaced the engine, starter, alternator, water pump, installed a 4 core radiator, brake lines, master cylinder, billet grill, billet pedals, billet dash insert, new dash, sun visors, windows, windshield, leather seats on the first and second row, new tires and wheels, new front end, power window motors, carpet and one hella of a stereo.

Here is the semi finished product. My wife and daughters hate the paint but I love the old school look. Zumo created a woody burb and at this point that is the paint scheme going on it later this fall.

Let me know what you think of "Jack".
