melchy Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi everyone, Been reading the forums for a while, there's been some great posts that have helped me alot. I've been working on a Ford GPW for a year and a bit now, just waiting for Dept of Transport to sort out the registration and we're on the road. Hopefully after a year or so of fun in it, i'm going to strip her down to parts and restore her properly. I'm no mechanic but will happily help anyone if I can. cheers Melchy :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Melchy if you know which end of the spanner goes on the nut, and what a hammer is used for you know more than most. Rebuliding a vehicle if you started out knowing nought, you sure know about them now. Welcome to the club pull up a dancing girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the club pull up a dancing girl. thanks all. here's a picture of my baby.. looks a bit tatty in this one heh http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j215/melchybagot/My%20jeep/16092007074.jpg[/img] Tony, if the spanner don't fit then bash it with a large hammer usually works for me cheers all Melchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Melchy, it ain't tatty, she looks like she has been in the feild. What's the point of a toy if you don't play with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I m so sorry I think I got that wrong it might have been you put Jeeps in to keep the Dodges dry then you can drive over the lot with a Jimmie , Of course the Ward la France or Mack's or Hippo's ( my gosh those are huge) then top the pile until the Armour gets involved :-D :whistle: :angel: Some one else will have to work out the pecking order to include all the MV's someday .
