A few pictures of the old girl after a quick pirouette and a forwards roll, all part of a new years day spin!!

In Olympic terms it would have been a 9.9

You can see the front wheel is about3" to the offside when viewed down the side in one of the photos.

Chassis was kinked in 4 places down its length, last one was past where fuel tank sits.

Steering column snapped,

Steering wheel bent(WW2 one), :cry:

seat bent

Tank kinked

screens smashed ,

G/box damaged

Tub front moved across

N/S hub damaged

Combats bent

Bonnet bent, and loads of other stuff :cry:

I got a text message from a friend(?) the following day(2nd Jan) to remind me,

"Remember, a jeep is for life, its not to be ditched after

christmas"

Tim(1)

Jack do I have to bring mine too. You know just in case.

 

Nice pictures of some Bluebells there, you old romantic you.

Yep, bluebells are an ancient woodland indicator :wink:

Hey steady on there Jack , for a moment I thought we were on Country File. :lol: :lol:

Tim(1)

Hi Spood.

 

Welcome aboard mate and thanks for the introducation.

 

I am getting a bit concerned that you Jeeps guys are taking them off road :shock: ...........are they meant to be kept spotless? :oops: :roll:

 

Cheers

 

Jack.

Off road in a Jeep is good as long as you intended to go off road!!!

Brit one is easier with a spout on it.

US ones are easier to pour fuel everywhere with.

Depends on the level of your pyromania :lol:

Tim(1)

Now you are talking :lol:

Tim(1)

I watched it in the past

Tim(1)

I now know better though :lol:

Behind a small garage on the Tomb of the kings road in Cyprus a couple of years back was a pile of 10 Wermacht stamped Jerry cans.Paint was faded but no corosion, they were great.

Airline wouldn't accept them as luggage : :cry:

Quite probably still there, seing as how they had maybe been there for 60 years before that.

Tim(1)

The thought of a 50 mm ball hitch brings tears to the eyes!!!!!!

Tim(1)

Yes, but I'm mot exempt. Although I probably shouldn't be the amount of screws I've got loose :!: :lol:

lmfao

So you yourself wont be legal to pull a trailer either then!!! :lol:

Tim(1)

Cola cubes , wow they were great, used to damage the roof of your mouth :lol:

So what ratio of plywood/horsesh*t and bus tickets is acceptable for a Sherman build then ? :lol:

Tim(1)

There must be some MVT bigamy going on here, sounds just like my wife as well!! :lol:

Hello Paul

Tim(1)

Who is vera?

We need to meet her!!!!! :lol:

I had mine painted with original spec paint after the accident and it looks OK but it takes a long time to harden.

I am led to believe it fades more than modern spec paint so it is harder to touch in at a later date.

Tim(1)

Starter button should be rated for the correct load, 6 volt will pull approximately twice the load of 12 volt for an equivelant loading.

Rating may be either in amps or watts.

To convert wattage to current(amps) divide it by the rated voltage and answer will be in amps.

OK , sorry ,far too high brow for this time of night.

Tim(1)

I use TS Autos on 01474 703131 for parts . He is really helpfull. He even talked me out of changing mine from 6 to 12 volt.

Looks nice

I would go the paint factors route, they can scan anything and get it spot on, if you intend to brush paint it make sure you let them know , as they can add a brushing agent that makes it easier to apply .

Tim (No 1)

So does Russ speak Russian then? :lol:

OOPs, getting my wires crossed there, sorry Tim.

I am also Tim , just to confuse things.

Tim

Hi Jack,

Yep, sure has been off road, both on its wheels and its roof as well unfortunately :cry: , nearly straight again now though

Tim

A guy in our MVT in Wetherby makes some fantastic replicas of A frames that are true to the real thing.

Only done to order though as he has to have the steel folded specially to get it the right spec.

I can find out if he is making any soon if you are interested.

Tim

Scary thought , everyone rushing around, armed to the gills and calling you "lovey"!!!

Bye for now loveys

Thanks for that , will give them a call tomorrow.

Tim

Dallas have been suggested by a friend yesterday, will have to give them a call later today and see what their work load is like, already lost all of this year and 3 trips abroad due to previous repairer.

My sense of humour is wearing very thin now.
