Rusty Luv

Post by t53a »

well im kinda switching things up... yet again.. With the recent trade of my mk2 rocco for this Chevy Luv (actually its an Isuzu Pup) i've decided to go a diffrent direction with my quest to build myself the ultimate "zombie killer" i've decided that the subaru and this luv will each take there own direction..

the plan:
crank the torsion bars up in the front
extended rear shackles for the rear
hack the fenders for 30x9.5's

the possibles:
flat bed
exo-cage
SAS swap with pre-85 yota solids
3 link front and rear

the needs:
clutch
valve cover gasket
water pump

I will have to see if I can di up some pics of the the old Luv my buddy bought for $50.00. We jumped that thing so much that we had to cut off the exhaust when it turned back under the truck, cause we smashed it flat and it wouldn't run anymore! Then we cut it off, filled the radiator with water and went jumping again!
