Chev Luv Ute save (nearly)

Post by oz_toffa »

We did a run to save what was left of the 1976 Chev Luv Ute to Meningie in SA

Anything that can be used we will rob from the wreck

im sure if i bought that home my wife would have a few words to say! Is there any good bits left on it or did they fall off on the ride home? :lol:
(might have to get a big tub of wd40 to soak the whole car in, so you can undo any bolts that are left!)
I am "that" Florian guy.
never buy a car you cant push.

needed rear window from the cab. It was there and intact. so it went straight into the rear of the Captiva wrapped in packing. Done
needed set of rims. Done
Bosch GT40 coil in engine bay. Done
Original Owners manual in glove box. Removed and packed away. Done
Considered engine and gearbox removal. Engine seized. Head may be ok. Gearbox is column shift. coming out too. Not yet done.
Still had original locking cap fuel and key in the ignition. key was seized but it was there!! Key now removed. Done
Rego plates and Vin details still on the wreck. Easy rego walkin for my '72 Luv. Yeah that is so done!

and the price was right.

But it does need boxes of WD-40 and RP-7 to allow you to do anything at all.
