Subject:sad engine fire victim, 88 Wolfy

Check and replace those fuel lines! A fresh 88 Wolfsburg just appeared
at a local junkyard. Looked great straight on from the front at a
distance. Nice silver paint, nice fiberglass bumper. Not so good from
every other angle. Engine fire that burned so bad that the speedometer
needle melted and I can't read the odometer numbers. 99.99% total loss.
Jumpseats, side table, electric windows, power door locks, mirrors,
etc., all burned up. Front grills look ok as does the front bumper. I
managed to save the mounting bracket from the pass side jumpseat and
after I pulled it away I could see that it had grey carpets. No way to
tell before then.

(who knew that there was plywood inside the front seat armrests?)
