I have spent a good week reading this thread on and off, and what a fantastic read it was. Being a newbie I know very little about the scene yet, how ever I can appreciate the time and attention to detail.
Fantastic skills in all area's, do you have a past in fabrication etc, or is it self taught? My aim is to own a Jeep and restore, but this thread is somewhat daunting in regards to the skills required to achieve it!
I dip my hat to you!

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yes an interesting place...I actually live on the site of a once great airbase....unfortunately developed now, with a few scatters of history left dotted about.
In fact my house is built in the middle of where one of the runways once was!

How'd you do that?
Sorry - I meant I googled '0859 AEC Militant' and loads of different ones came up.
I didn't mean the actually truck you own...that would be scary! lol

So where to begin.
Hi is a good point to start...I'm Mark, and have an interest in military history and WW2. I am lucky that where I live is steeped in War history, Duxford is not too far away, I have the Twin bases of RAF Woodbridge and Bentwaters about 10 minutes up the road, as well as Bawdsey Manor and a dotting of war defence remains around where I live.
Sure visiting War museums etc is all well and good, but I can only imagine, owning a genuine piece of war history is quite exceptional, my interest and eye is drawn towards the Willy's Jeep - I imagine very common for you guys, but I guess to me its iconic, and the simplicity of it is what interest's me the most.
Now unfortunately I don't own a military vehicle, and possible won't for a while, my current house renovation is keeping funds tight, I do hope though, that it won't prevent me from enjoying the site, viewing some great content and hopefully you won't think 'he will soon loose interest'.. sure I won't post much as of yet, as I don't know too much and have no experience, but I will drop in a post here and there to stay active.
So that's me, only other thing I can add is my other serious hobby is pyrotechnics. I do professional firework displays through out the year for a company, but that's for another day :-)
See you all around
Mark

Your welcome - when the olive drab of a Jeep will grace my garage I don't know....but I hope to be able to turn to threads like this for some much needed guidance!
