Benleroy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hi' All My name is Benoit from Liege in Belgium. I'm here to learn some more information about uk troops and vehicules in ww2. And this forum is really amazing! I'm restoring a Jeep bought by my grandfather in 1980. After some research, we've found that is a Willys, dated 15 September 1944 S/N 370819. This jeep went through the french army but they have conserved the original pieces and looking. At this time, the vehicule is fully disassembled, the engine is rebuild and the body is repaired. The next major step is the paint. If you're interested, i've made a blog (in french), with lot of pictures. http://perso.latribu.com/Benleroy/Jeep/Bienvenue.html What more can I say am really enjoying looking around the site !! Kind regards, Benoit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 X 6 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 If you're interested, i've made a blog (in french), with lot of pictures. Welcome to the forum Benoit and thank you for your excellent restoration blog. I'm impressed by your rebuild of the Jeep and that your site was made on a Mac. Was your blog built with iWeb or, website software, like Rapidweaver ? Don't worry about your blog being in French. Most of us on this forum are British and, therefore, fluent in many languages.:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
