Not been on here for a while but just got a new project and thought i would post a thread on here. 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2a I know its not an earlier military model, and I know there are bits where they shouldn't be. But its good fun and I love it. I managed to acquire it from a west end theatre show (made in dagenham) where it was used as a prop. It currently has an electric motor fitted so it could be driven on stage. Part of the deal is that I remove the electric motor and return it to the company that did the conversion. At the same time I can collect all the parts they removed so I can get it back to running driving machine. This is how it looks under the bonnet atm, Hooning round the yard under electric power..

Picked up the parts that were removed for the electric conversion. Now just need to get it all back together. Few bits need to be sourced first, clutch and exhaust mainly. Then a few bits we have picked up on while taking it apart, bell crank pin and a few missing clips and bolts here and there.

This is what I was working on until the Jeep came along. It was just about to go to the body shop for a full repaint and a few panels but the cash went into the Jeep. Concentrating on getting the jeep on the road for some summer fun. Put an order in to Jeeparts so with a bit of luck..... Another pic of the MK2 with my other toy.
