Thanks bud, now got a delivery date of this Saturday so i will have more space and time foe detailed pictures, all of which as you say will be logged, anyone clocked the extra trim on the windshield for a hard top i believe . and the wife may just enjoy the heater,

Thanks guys, i have plenty of boxes and tags ready, regarding the engine would a 45 dated Jeep have a post war engine built in March, AMD quote me "4 MARCH 1945 WILLYS MB .ENGINE RUNS NICELY AND IS PROBABLY THE FACTORY ENGINE FOR THIS JEEP. QUITE AN ORIGINAL JEEP WITH CORRECT AXLES,T84 TRANSMISSION, 2 COMBAT RIMS AND ORIGINAL DATA PLATES. another view of the engine attached. Actually paid for it today so this weekend delivery i have been and seen it, cruddy underneath but dry, the guys down there must have at least 20 Jeeps in barns from what i have to finished , i would like this one to be lets say not the prettiest girl at the party but sound and functioning. My father in law is old school, owns E types MK11 jags, and a few classic US cars too but never a Jeep, his help will be invaluable, my self i work as a Aerospace quality Inspector within overhauled turbine sector.

Hi folks, new member here with a new project and a first for me, a 1945 Willys, purchased from AMD 4WD it is going to need work hence joining for knowledge and know how, i will be helped by my father in law who is old school some 60 years on the spanners and bodywork, like many since a child i loved the iconic ww2 jeeps and finally now get to own one which i am sure will bring both pleasure and pain, already named it "Little Pud" after our grandaughter, The jeep was imported from Iowa and i am in the process of completing the v55, a few pics attached will show its current state Steve
