steviem Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) It's a bit weird, I think MBs changed in the fall of 1944, so how many are running around with the earlier fitment, you would have thought there would be a market for them.

steviem Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks Jerry, hopefully this restoration will bring you more work in from people like myself, I could have tried to do it made more of a mess and cost me twice as much . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jeep Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 some photos of the parts i have cleaned and primed lots of nuts and bolts that's what takes the time then its time to clean the hubs repack the wheel bearings ready to rebuild the axles and both the diffs with new bearings and oil seals i might have to take some time out as if the blasting is finished all the parts will need priming the same day 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jeep Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 ok after a long hard look at the front floor i would have to cut out more than would be left so the best way to fix it is to put a new floor in that was todays job floor out floor in just need a bit of trimming at bulk head end then weld it up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Totally agree here, we could have left a little of the original floor which due to being thin would have needed patchwork sooner or later pity but common sense tells me it's the best thing to do, hopefully the floor will marry up to the chassis with out any issues.
