Re: My extremely rusty 'burb

It DOESN'T look salvagible to me. I think you should just resign yourself to the fact that its just to far gone. Let me know where its at and I'll come and pick it up for the crusher.


Great looking project.

Re: My extremely rusty 'burb

Now for the actual pictures of rust... I didn't want to create a myth of an actual rust-free original 'burb.

First, rust from where a battery leaked on a previous owner.
Second, rocker on the driver's side just in front of the rear wheel
Third, rear quarter just behind the driver's fender

Re: My extremely rusty 'burb

I`ve come to "love" surface rust.It`s fun (& easy) to make pretty again.
