Hey everybody, I am new and glad to be a member of this awesome website. I caught the LUV bug 2 months ago and now own a nice 1980 4X2 that was going to get crushed at a junkyard and bought a 1979 4X4 lifted, no engine, and today I'm going to get a 1974 4X2 thats in excellent shape and runs great. Yes the wife is concerned that I'm getting obsessed, I think she may be right. Where's the Washington State LUV nuts? Please post so maybe we can get a network ( friends )of us here to help each other out with parts and stuff. Glad to be here, iluvit!

Thanks everybody, OK, it is a 1975 2WD ( not a 74 ). It is the original olive green color, minimal rust spots, good interior, and runs good. I've been driving it to work so I gave it the usual tune-up. Starting bogging out and sucking ALOT of gas, turns out the timing was off a bit, PCV valve( which I finally loacated ) was shot, carb. was loose. Fixed those things and now it runs even better, I'll check out fuel consumption this weekend. OH yeah, I have found #4 that I want, a yellow 1980 automatic in great shape( 2 smaller dash cracks) paint is still shiny, body is REAL good. Guy got from his brothers estate sale, his brother bought it new off the lot, so if I'm able to get it I will be the 3rd owner on this one as well.Funds?! Funds?! Funds?!. He is also looking to sell a Mazda 2200 that he says is real nice but blown head(I think he said) make an offer. Will have pics of mine this weekend(hopefully).

OK, got the 80 4X4 fixed and running good and some cosmetics done on it. Now I may sell it, that's right sell it, ONLY in order to get funds and have room for my new find, one I've wanted from the start. Wish me luck!

This summer it would be cool to put together a tire kick some where here in the northwest.

OK, I got a new muffler and tailpipe on the olive 75 and also 4 almost new original hubcaps and beauty rings. Best of all I found this product that restores original paint to like new look. It is gonna be a buffing party this weekend! I will put up more pics when done. I am using the 75 as my daily driver so I'm not selling that one yet unless I absolutely have to. I still need to move as soon as possible.

sounds like a blast :lol:
dang i wish i had a couple luvs to mess around withmy only one is my daily so i cant do anything really extreme with it at the moment. i think a "blazer" style luv would be a pretty cool project... something with more than 2 seats ya know? thats the one downside to the luv :/ only seats 2 (with buckets). cut out the back wall and extend the cab into a Luv suv? would still be a LUV i guess XD

i agree we should get a NW luv meet going on this summer, great excuse for a roadtrip!! :ebiggrin
and im sure we could rangle up a pretty good lil event with some planning, go on a luv highway cruise 8) & get a BBQ going and such :lol:
