28th may work...






...or 6 hours without stopping! With the help of Natxo, we moved the Go Devil engine. Also, I managed to put off the steering. In fact, it only took 5 minutes!!! Well, I must admit that nut & bolts with mud, grease, and more dirt it´s the best way to keep save any spare part of vehicle! I removed too the gear box support, after cut the bolts with the razor saw. Although I would prefer to don´t it so.

The drag link is now too at the spare parts box.

Well, it was a hard jeeper day!

Willys MB dash data plates!!






Ladies and gents, kats and kittens!!!

More work from Natxo´s Willys MB! This time, he has striped all the paint from the glovebox cover, in order to get it primed and put the new dash data plates, which he got at http://www.dataplates4u.com/ (The Netherlands). Also, they stamped for him the serial number 305575, with an estimated Date Of Delivery: 2-15-44. He, this would the birthday of the babe!

Take attention at the really damaged original plates...man, this jeep roads a lot of miles!!!

Natxo wasn´t very satisfied with the matt and a bit rough appearence of the OD paint at the glovebox cover, so probably he will try it again. Stay tunned!

Natxo´s work!






Hi, fellows!

After some days without advancing at his jeep, Natxo has been quite busy those last days. This time, he has worked at the generator ("geny") and the starter, too. About the generator: he bought it at the States, an original 1942 6 volts model, and when he received it at Spain, he found several problems at the customs...typical! He´s waiting now for the brushes, which has got at "JeepPassion.com", Spain.

The starter cames from France, and it´s also a 1942 or 1943 model, 6 volts, and it´s GPW. Ñam, ñam!

Natxo has restored the starter with the help of several articles published at French magazine "4x4 Story Spécial Jeep". In which I worked as cartoonist and journalist! :)
