Julio from Indonesia
« on: January 29, 2013, 02:39:49 PM »
Hi All,

My name is Julio and I'm from Indonesia. I own willys "CJ3A" 1949 on restoration ( actually is on and off restoration work due to limited budget ). My father injected with this "virus" since I was a kid when I started to learn driving a car.
He actually give me his jeep when I'm in college ( well it was in pieces ). I spare my time try to restore my Jeep, starting with building the machine and gearbox and it takes almost one year. After it runs then I used the Jeep for nearly 2.5 years with limited condition ( as long as the Jeep rolling then I'm fine with it, don't mention about the look though �;) ).
After I graduated from university I was moved to another city for work so it was pushed to leave the Jeep behind with nobody to took care of the Jeep �:-[. The story continue with me getting married, got a kid etc....so the Jeep more of forgotten by me as I need to take care my family first.
But deep down in my mind, I always want to restore and used the Jeep as daily use then I can proud to be the one who preserved one of the Iconic car in the world.

Hi F Bill,

Thank you.
Those photo was taken in 2010, The jeep body was restored and painted in early 2010 (that's why you see it quite good :) ). Current homework is to check all the parts in front wheel, fixing the brake ( this has been a headache to me since I tried so many times ), fixing all leaking oil from the engine and gearbox.
Didn't get the time to do all those thing right now... :-[
