Dear all,

My name is David, I´m from Spain and would like to introduce myself to everybody. I own a CJ3A, bought it 13 years ago and I completely rebuilt it, or so I tried, well think I did not do it badly because everything seems to work more or less OK and nothing exploded so far...

My 3A comes from the Spanish Air Force that got it from the American Plan Marshall aid by the end of the 50´s.  After serving about 20 in the army it went to the civil market and after a couple of owners it arrived to me. Its current plate number is dated november 1975 in Madrid.

The 3A is completely in stock status, it keeps the 6V electical system, (I do not have intention to change it to 12v because it starts brightly provided the battery is well charged).  The only changes are that the spare wheel was changed to the aft side and a petrol can holder was also bolted there.

The only change I made has been to substitute one strange Spanish carburettor he had by the quite common SOLEX PBIC32 like the French M201´s.  Yes, you are right, the CARTER is the right one, (and the thirsty), but gasoline in Spain averages 1,5$ per litre, maybe in the future when I am a rich man....

Now I am in the process of getting the historical clasification from the government so I can drive it without restrictions as it came from the factory, (curiously TOLEDO, Ohio like the TOLEDO we have in Spain).

Well, I will send some pictures of it, sure you will like them and I am sure I will need your experience and knowledge to fix a couple of things.

Best regards.
David.

David,
Welcome!  Looking forward to seeing your jeep!
