my next jeep

[Jerry Jeep]

so now i have finished steviem jeep for him and some time before the next one comes in i have started with my next jeep a very late ford gpw that has the exhaust out the back  no fuel filter on the bulk head and a load of other late parts that i have in stock first started with the front axle needs a new crown wheel and pinion fitting the ford springs that i reset and the back axle that i did some time back all the best jerry

That chassis looks well,  certainly better than the one on mine when you received it.

[Jerry Jeep]

Its has been a a bit slow working on my jeep as i had a engine rebuild that came in last thing but today its back to it and finished off the front axle crown wheel and paint it and fit it in the jeep next job is to  blast and paint the rest of the bits and fit brakes, pipes  and steering also had anther jeep come in to be rebuilt its fitted with a t90 gearbox i don't know if we will keep it  time will tell some of the work has already been done front bumper guests and back tow frame

[Jerry Jeep]

yes its ok but if the t90 box is to stay i will have to move the centre cross member back a bit  

[Jerry Jeep]

This week end got some time to work on my jeep breaks and pipes and rebuilt the ford steering box need to blast the rest of the f axle bits and finish off then its mock up an engine and gearbox so i can make the deep mud exhaust out the back only way to do this without getting one shipped from the good old USA at a lot of $$$ is make one from an m38 pipe set i have made one before this way and it works out ok a bit of cutting and welding
