Hi-LUV Project : Beginning

People know me as (Isuzu) Trooper lover, and I'm proud of it. That's where the UBS name comes from. UBS is Isuzu designation for Trooper.
After 3 Trooper I decided to buy something different. Still comes from Isuzu, this time I bought a Chevrolet LUV a.k.a Isuzu Faster KB a.k.a Isuzu P'Up.
I sometimes draw a LUV years back, but never thought that I finally bought one. Having a pickup truck is not common for a family guy like me. Trooper, even the SWB, designed to carry more passenger. Afterall, with this pickup I feel like I finally have a car for myself. A car to fulfill my ego.
The story began 3 months ago when my friend Budi from KTI-Bogor send me a picture of a Chevrolet LUV for sale along his way to KTI-Bogor HQ.

 
 
 
Just a night before, I tell him that I want to have a LUV just like he has. Budi said that the seller wants 2k USD for that pickup truck. Budi and other KTI-Bogor members said that the price is not worthed. It doesn't have front axle, body lines isn't correct and the interior is almost empty. But I feel something different with that li'l truck. It looks so prospective to become a good looking truck. Beside that, 2k USD is considered a low price, since 2WD LUV price is around 2.5k USD. Yes, it's a 4WD LUV. I've checked the license plate number and found out that the frame code is KBD-41. A code for 4WD LUV equipped with C190 diesel engine.
Well, just a day after that, I bought that pickup truck. And the Hi-LUV story begin.. :)
