Looks like you have done a really good thing by saving a LUV that was probably gonna
see the crusher. You are doing a fine job of bringing her back to life! Image

Keep us updated.

Well I ran into some problems lately that thought we would have to just take it to pulll n save and let it be crushed. Then we decided no we can fix it, it will be lots of body work but we can do it just need all the metal and such. Well we just ran into a problem when we took the passenger side front fender off we found that my support for my front clip in almost all the way rusted through so we decided that we will try our best to get it running.

Too bad you don't have room for it. Those parts may come in handy if you find another LUV for a project. I guess being out West parts trucks are more abundant. Here in the Northeast I take any trucks or parts I can get if the price is right. Maybe you should consider parting it out. I am sure there are lots of good parts there that people can use. It beats sending it to the crusher!
