Willys is better then Ford! Proove? They don't stample their parts for warranty.

Hello,
It’s good to be back. I’ve been offline for quite some time, but have been working on the 3B for the past 11 months pretty steady.
I’ve added HTOG reverse steering gear conversion, a new Walacks wiring harness, a lot of bodywork, and paint.
Here are a couple of photos of some work.
Thanks

I see the pictures but not the text!  (Copied above)

Good to have you back on Derek!  Your work looks good!

Thanks Rus,
It’s good to have positive feedback from someone in the know.
I don’t mind honest critiquing either. Family members just think everything is great.

Great project Derek.  I may have to grab some of these pictures for your page on the website, at https://CJ3B.info/Owners/Beatty.html

Thanks Derek,
I have a lot pictures and it’s great to see them on the 3B info page. Just want to say how useful the 3B page was when I was looking for information, advice, and even parts.
I sourced so many good original parts here like seats, oil bath air cleaner, pedals, windshield latches, brake shoes, and rocker arm assembly.
Even got real time coaching one Saturday morning while doing my valve adjustment.
The page and the forum just have information you can’t find anywhere else.

Yes Rus, it's odd that this is another thread where some of the posts are blank unless you sign out and view them as a guest. In this case, all of Derek Beatty's posts are blank.  I guess I need to raise this with the Admin team again.

Well, Pascal has not been able to reproduce the vanishing text problem.  I guess it still happens only to some of us -- very puzzling, and beyond my ability to troubleshoot.  I wonder how many people have experienced the problem -- hopefully not many.
