Randy B. Newbie from the Netherlands

[Randy]

Hi all, 

 

My name is Randy and I am from the Netherlands. I am a reenactor, mainly focussing on the Battle of Arnhem. Currently, I am restoring a Willys jeep, 20-2-1945, and converting it to a British Airborne version as used by the Border Regiment in Oosterbeek. A few months ago I was able to buy an Airborne trailer for it, in quite a bad state, from Norway, it still sits there and in a few weeks time she will make the journey to the Netherlands. Looking for parts in Ebay awaiting its arrival, I got in touch with Richard, and through him, with this forum. I hope I may ask one or two questions considering both projects in the future and make a historically correct pair out of them

 

With kind regards,

Randy

Good luck on the resto.

The body of the Jeep doesn't look all too bad.

Good luck with the restoration...

Welcome @Randy

A good bit of work to do there. I'm constantly surprised how these still turn up. (-:

Incidentally, if you know of anyone interested in a 1944 SS Cars Airborne trailer, in better condition, but still requiring work (mainly floor patching), and/or an ex British Army 1941'ish MB jeep located in Annecy, France, do contact me for details.

Best Regards,

Adrian
