Looks good. I don't see any problems in rebuilding it.

Jim, You need to be more carefull next time you load the trailer. I don't think thats what they meant when they yelled, "roll it on up there." Good luck disecting that beast I hope you find some buried treasure.....Stroker

I almost cried when I first saw this Burb 1 1/2 years ago. It has been under a stack of cars for about three years and the yard finally dug it out for me. When I first saw it, the chrome was intact and it was not crushed very much but as they added cars it slowly collapsed. We got it for the running gear as the transmission, transfer case, differentials and drive shafts are still good. The Burb has front and rear ac. There are some salvageable parts and I think the tailgate survived with only minor damage.
Here is a shot of the left side. Jim |

Randy,
Are you sure one 6 pack is enough! This is a little more work than the last "fixer upper". Jim |

The yard owner is a long time friend and he gave it to me.
It is a lot of work! Jim |
