I stand corrected....LOL
I'm excited to get my new best friend home tomorrow. I've already been busy ordering some parts and tune up stuff I know I'm going to need. Will keep everyone posted on my adventure, and am sure there will be a ton of questions along the way.

Actually, if your really after "newbie", you could use the term "flat fender newbie"!! That will cover all jeeps from the war models to the CJ3B. The 3B was built from 1953 to about 1968. It doesn't really cover the CJ5 modal. ;)
It also incudes wagons, trucks and the jeepster!!

Welcome to the site Tchara. Not to be facetious at all, but there is a Willys Jeepster that was built from 1948 to 1950, so it's hard to be a Jeepster newbie! More like a "Willys Jeep" newbie!! Hope you enjoy the new toy!! ;)

Tchara,
Welcome!  Looks like a good project!  Many folks swear by Marvel Mystery Oil for the cylinders.  Looking forward to its progress.

Hi everyone!
Just joined the forum, and looking forward to meeting you and discussing everything Jeep. Just purchased a 1952 CJ3a. Haven't even hauled it home yet. Doing it Tuesday. My buddy has a car hauler. It is in fairly good shape. The passenger side flooring leaves somewhat to be desired, but the rest is pretty solid. The motor is free, but I haven't tried turning it over yet. It has been sitting for eight years, so I'm going to pull the  plugs and lube the cylinders a little in case there dried out. Maybe a little PB Blaster in each cylinder. The clutch and brake pedal are stuck, and I believe it's the pivot rod under the cab that's stuck.

My plans are to make it road worthy and just drive it. I'm in the middle of repairing a 1977 AMC Pacer wagon, so I want to get that finished before tearing in to deep on the Jeep. I've been bugging a guy for the last 10 years to let me buy his original owner 1956 Ford pick up truck. But he bought it new, and taught all his kids to drive in it, so it has sentimental value. I was on the other side of his property the other day, and stumbled across this Jeep.
I paid him 1700.00 for it. I think that was a pretty fair price.

P.S. I'll be taking the hunting seats and frame out.
