I've lurked on here for quite awhile, I've had a couple LUV"s including a SAS 79 with a toyota front axle. Anyway, the story on this blue luv is that my dad picked it up from eastern Oregon from his now wifes parents house where it has sat engineless since 1995. It seemed the motor went away at 90k original miles and never was put back together. Anyway it sat at my house until October of last year when my girlfriend decided to sell her wagovan and fund the resurrection of the truck for her to use as a daily driver.
I went through the entire fuel system, put in a low mile rebuilt stock 1.8 with a weber 26/27 (?) off a datsun z car, rebuilt some of the front suspension and did front wheel bearings and brakes, got all elctrical working, heaters works fantastic, dual flowmaster exhaust, the torsion bars are cranked and shackles in back, tires are 235/75/15 with late 70s full size chevy steel wheels and hubcaps, i spent some time correcting some front end damage and detailing the grille and headlight area. The truck is overall slightly rough around the edges still but runs pretty good, it should be a good truck for her despite the fact that she lives at 1200 feet elevation and the hill is pretty hard on little 1.8.
anyway heres some pictures i have of the truck.
pretty much the condition it started as
hauling some of my VW stuff
