Some work at my CJ3A wreck...

Again, some more work at my CJ3A (?) wreck or "Frankenjeep". This time, I did not only with the help of Natxo but also with fellow jeeper and friend Raul Rivera, who´s restoring too a Willys M38 jeep. Check this weblog for more info: http://jeeperfever.blogspot.com/

Well, as you could see, this time we dismantled the whole chassis frame: axles, brake pump, steering, etc. Some notes for the Willys experts: look at the brake pipe which is connected directly to the front axle!

Also the moved engine mount at the left side of the chassis frame. Perhaps to adapt the L134 engine and the T90 tranny case?

Unfortunately the left side of the chassis frame is bent due probably because a clash. Later owner told me they wear the jeep very hard! Arghh!

Work at Natxo´s Willys MB: 11th August

Friday 11th, August: This time Natxo has sent me a bunch of pictures from his work: gasket of rear axle, steering gear, and springs from both axles.

Nice to see some parts before and after being sandlasted and primed. As you could see, Natxo hasn´t dismantled the springs, he has only sandblasted, cleaned and primed.

Also note the steering gear marked with "F". That´s cool!
