    it is still attached to the hood, the cowl fitting side has snapped in two places, i need to remove the pin which moves but butts out on the hood.

    Cheers come to think of it i think unibond do one. Anyone ever removed a bonnet hinge pin, my hinge has snapped the hat channel section is fine it is the cowl side. idea is to remove the pin and fabricate a new section.

    Thanks guys, the indents for the hood block are still there they will be reinstalled once i have sorted the hinge and dents, Steve i dont mind using silicone for the glass but could be a pain to remove the old stuff along with perished rubber around the rest of the fame, so hopefully now get the bottom piece off to reveal the E frame and grind the bubba weld on the brackets.

    So back on topic with the 45 MB, the only numbers i could half make out looked like 547 on the hood, this is now ready for dent removal/hinge repair primer and storage, the screen, i have to remove weld between brackets and main frame, the inner frame slid straight out although the glass has been put in with silicone, the main frame has some rot i am thinking repair here as it has a piece behind which is solid enough, lights ready for a re wire and storage slow progress i know but progress is progress.

    Nice work Jerry, gowd knows how i will get on when i reach that stage. Regards the welder any brand? i will be welding outside straight off an outdoor socket so 13amp, i guess anything between 100/120 amps should be ok, i took your advice and ordered replacement section for the axe area, one last question for you or any other members as any used a shrinking disc, lots of lumps and bumps on the the bonnet, i watched the youtube guide and they look pretty handy.

    OK half the hood stripped nothing, hopefully something on the other half, lights are coming on nicely. Welding guys, i need to learn/teach myself it is a must i guess when owning a Jeep, so Mig/Tig etc what would be best for me based on i am a complete novice Mig? any advice tips or welder types welcome. Steve

    Thanks guys i will plod on with it and see if anything appears, with the headlamp cups i will more than likely spend a little time with the Dremel there is no rush. And this is the easy bit? All new to me but loving every bit of it so far.

    Thanks Steve, no there is no bent over metal , regarding electrolysis i have never had the balls to do it something with water and electricity gives me the wobbles although i have restored old rusty helmets and bayonets etc i took the hard way. So i tried to reveal some hood markings, several layers in and bare metal not a sausage have i gone to far? after the orange came the OD with metal after that. I still have the other side to check.

    The only hole is the one pictured, impact damage. The rust inside is a bugger to clean.
  13. steviem
    Cheers buddy, low grade wet and dry right? headlamp units almost ready for primer, one small hole to repair and some rust on the inside to remove.

    Got the lights sorted with a bit of TLC. ready to be cleaned and primed, i got a few larger sections off today drivers fender what a bitch that was, bonnet and screen all here to be stripped cleaned primed, i know to take it easy with the bonnet to see if there are any serial numbers on there, the fender? full of filler but original i think, the screen top bar wants removing where a hard top was on, see if i can get the inner screen seperated too, should keep me busy for a while. It must take some of you guys back to when you first started.

  16. steviem
    Small steps, this was the first part i took off just a grab handle nothing much, it was the first small part cleaned up primed and top coat of OD, this will also be the last part to be fitted.

  18. steviem
    Thanks guys something i am aware of as i buy a lot of general WW2 items from the states etc, i have just started to get a bits in for when i will need them such as fuel line, brake pipes, wiring looms which could be another year or so from being fitted, no rush i will take my time Steve

    cheers bud, spoke to MV direct they will deliver free of charge and with a set of clips for £265 which seems to be a very good deal..
  20. steviem
    Viewed a few looms available, first Jeffery engineering it says budget loom £285 inc del, i mailed for more info second MV $295 inc free del, works out at around £240ish third is classic jeep parts £283 plus £35 delivery and finally Dallas £295 plus del, it would appear the MV deal looks a good one. MV top pic, then classic Jeep, third Dallas, 4th pic Jeffery enginnering.

    Thanks bud, double stop and tail lights is a massive help. i will see what JMP have, and of course yes mine has the rotary light switch.
  22. steviem
    Thanks guys, i will wire wool the headlights and take them apart, new harness all round is the way forward, love the amber lights too, i have already removed the fitted indicators i was never going to keep them, now to search for the harness, thanks guys.
  23. steviem
    hi Steve, just generally tatty, the wires are old the cups are rusty and the glass has gone brown on the inside, i would like to see if anyone has taken them apart cleaned and re wired them if so how, sand blasted, wet and dry etc the units are made by Westinghouse 12v not sure if they are original to the Jeep or not.
  24. steviem

    Hopefully we can get some sort of normality soon and such events will allow us to enjoy these iconic pieces of history.
