Picture of my progress
« on: December 23, 2012, 08:02:21 PM »
Making progress. I�m almost ready to mount the repo body kit. �The engine has been test run a little. �The carb needs rebuilding.
I have filled everything with their respective fluids and I�ll check for leaks over the next few days.

If it doesn�t leak to bad I�ll bring the body kit home and try fitting it up. �It will be nice to see a jeep in my garage again. :)

VERY, VERY NICE!  There are very few things that are cooler than a Willys rolling chassis.  I can only think of one...a rolling Willys.  Sounds like you're getting close.

Great work.

Thank you all for the kind words.

Well I couldn't wait.



I had a small brake fluid leak by the master cylinder. � I tightened everything up and all seems good. �

I used four eye bolts and screwed them into the corners of the crate. �That allowed me to use four straps to pick it out of my truck with my excavator it worked slick as sh..

Once it's un-crated I'll post my thoughts on the body kit.
