thefoxhat Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi there to everyone, Bought a Willys MB 1942 Jeep for restoration some 15 months ago and its pretty well finished and was looking forward to getting out and about to some events this year but just missed the 'summer'....... what summer ? Will be posting some pics of the restoration work in other areas of the forum no doubt in due course. Been a really interesting and rewarding experience. Can't get the engine to start though, got some water leaks round the head (not good!) and the core plug leaks (don't ask why I didn't just change it when the engine was out!) so will probably be looking for some help in the engine department. I think there is a good group of military enthusiasts in the Bristol / SOuth Gloucs area so hopefully will be along to a meeting sometime soon to pick some brains.... ! In the meantime any offers of help, sympathy and recommendations for local specialists will be welcome! Our workshop is based in Frampton Cotterell and we've got several other classic american car projects on the go as well all the best for now COLIN (thefoxhat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefoxhat Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thanks for all the welcomes.... Been in contact with John the area secretary for the Severnside MVT and will be going along to their Dec 30th road run to have a look at what is around.... FINALLY, got the engine going today but I fear its very poorly as we could not get any oil pressure. So I am going to be posting my first 'HELP' request on the forum ! Thanks again and lets look forward to next summer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
