1962 cj3b - first and the last high hood in the stable.
« on: August 13, 2021, 12:53:10 AM »
After a lot of reluctance on getting a high bonnet jeep a cj3b ,I got my self a clean cj3b.
1962 cj3b on stock mechanicals came out of a government departmental auction and followed me home.
Again lucky to find a clean jeep with very minimal body work and nearly with all original parts.
The sleeping engine roared and the gear box was in fine Nick.
We just had to do the differentials and brake service to start using her.
After oil topups and brake work the hurricane is a charm to drive.
Cleaned the paint and found the original grey under it.
The jeep would be back from metal work this weekend and ready for paint and final restoration.

Update on the 3b.
Going to the paint booth after a round of body work.
Hope to get her home in a week's time.
