Got myself a cheapo panel beating set I'm sure it will come in handy.

There are one two threads for the indicator mod, Jerry who is selling internal parts for the convoy lamps bud.

Thanks guys, something to ponder, the headlights could be of interest .

I have one at work for small parts.

JP, me too bud, all new to me.

Cheers Jerry, the felt is all good the fitting in the cup a tad grubby, going to pencil blast them at work, I have the wiring loom.

One of those little jobs, I think original to the jeep, these need to be stripped and re built

I think it looks great bud and appears to be complete, have fun i will follow your progress. Steve

Reckon mine might finish you off Jerry, seriously work out what you want i want Jerry to sort my drive train chassis etc the body work I will do, and I kind of like patina.

Great, welcome aboard

No problem, thank you anyway, ordered a set panel hammers and dollies to help straighten it out.

Thanks Jerry, that clears that one up.

Brilliant thanks, the two at the rear?

ok, quite happy with hood ( still a hinge weld reqd) inner and outer screen, moved on to the fenders now, the drivers fender it appears to have taken a wallop on the fender top side, resulting in removal and weld up of the blackout lamp, and of course filled, repaired tabs need another spot of weld and some dings to sort out as with grinding down old weld, anyone know if the two welded holes to the rear are for the blackout lamp wire.

Anyone know of a fender restoration thread/video/pictures please.

Keep the pictures coming Jerry very interested to see how you progress with this, attached is my front cross member which could well be heading your way, Steve

Staying at woodhall country park for a couple of nights bud

Makes mine look a lot better, love to see how you progress with this.

Just seen two lovely jeeps in woodhall spa, one named Valerie the other destiny i think, nice chat with the women but the blokes were not very forthcoming, nice to see two finished examples and give me a vision for "lil pud".

Fantastic work Jerry, email sent bud

Ask for Mike

Some wise words said, as a newbie myself i have taken a lot of good advice onboard, read books lots of them study pictures and restoration blogs decide what you want, what are your skill sets, space, budget and what do you want, a showpiece or something that runs and is safe, i personally do not want a concourse piece but something that runs well is safe and still a WW2 Jeep with few dings and dents ( lets call it patina) it has not taken me long to realise space is a massive factor and one which i am short of, so i have made the choice to do all body, panel work etc myself and send the drive train out, hopefully to a fellow member of the board.

Yeah that's the guys Mike and his brother they normally have a lot more available i went to their barns there were loads there tell them exactly what you are looking for.

Welcome, i have not long started mine, it is a long long road to go down, I got mine as a running project compete but needs almost a full restoration from these guys https://www.amdfourwheeldrive.co.uk/vehicles/
