why not just search craigslist? dont forget to include the target on the front as custom paint that should boost the value some!!

Re: Need links to replace a certified but rusty 85 4x4 burb

Rust is bad for value. I would take the $1500 if you can buy it back from the insurance company - sell for parts or rebuild and keep driving. Or, look for a rust free project south of border and reuse parts - assuming you don't mind the hassle.

Re: Need links to replace a certified but rusty 85 4x4 burb

whats the damage? a new fender, door and fiberglass running boards

take the 1500 only if you can buy it back replace the damage parts a just drive it.

but another thing you proberly should point out its not an ordernary burb its a conversion truck. A conversion and a regular cant be compared in price when you see a good condition conv burb on craigs list they are around 2000-4000

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Looks like the door fits too good still for the shell to be twisted at all IMO
