Hello, LUV masta. Yep, just a hop skip and a jump away. Right now my LUV is being painted. And, I have to find a 350 std bore roller block ('87-'01) and do an engine swap as I have a cracked cylinder wall and sucking water. Darn, I just built the motor, too. Oh well, life goes on. Doing the swap (pulling, tear down and put the innards from the cracked block into the new block and reinstall) is a weekend job, so I should be up and running by the time the weather is nice. So yea, let's get together. And, no competition here for pick 'n' pull. Although, I do need a Mikado horn button and speaker/defroster grill. Anyway, thanks for getting back to me, and hopefully can get together.

Hello Bay Area folk. I'm up for a get together sometime this summer, or anytime for a junkyard crawl.. I finally found a good roller block. Had to drive to Yucca Valley. Got it cleaned, magnafluxed and honed ($125, not bad). Now waiting for my LUV to be painted, which is supposed to be this week, Chevy velvet blue metallic (think Camaro and Vette) with red micro flake. Will post photos when completed. Hopefully my friends shop will be available in May for the engine swap. Pull bad engine and tear down putting everything in the new block with new rings and bearings. Drive in on a Saturday morning; drive out Sunday morning. Well, that's my update. Until next time, be safe and keep on LUV'n.

3rdLuvNext2a66MALIBU here's a couple of pics I took this morning. Just an old Luv with a couple of mods. I've had it since 1988.

Looks good. Some of the 4-bangers can sound real good with the right exhaust. I'll post some pics of mine as soon as I get it back from paint, hopefully next week.

You do love the LUVs, don't you LUV masta? That must have been quite the project restoring the flood LUV. Hunting for parts is a love hate relationship: hate huntin' but love findin'. The fellow painting my LUV had to move and it's put him behind, but he assures me it will be done by the end of the month. I would like to find a front gravel pan, but they are hard to come by. And I need something to cover the horn button hole on the Micato wheel. I'll probably end up fabricating something. Well, until next time, take care and be safe.
