A few pics of my first project. Not too bad for being a farm beater for years.

As this Jeep is not in the Land Down under I thought it would take someone from here to make the photos that were wrong "right".

That is going to be a great original jeep to restore! My GPW2956 has 3-10-42 as it's DOD.

Thanks all. My plan was to make this a nice winter project, but we have decided to move come next year. Now I have to start the prep to sell. The positive thing is I will be searching for land with a real shop. For now I will collect parts to bring back to stock, and learning all I can about what I have. Have a nice start on parts. Picked up at auction 2 pallets of jeep and WC parts for 5.00. To goldenjeepi am located In Allentown.

Nice looking jeep to start with! You are fortunate. Looking forward to seeing more photos as the restoration progresses.

Too many jeeps…and a Dodge.

Hi, Are you looking to move far or just out of Allentown area. Live in the Palmerton, Lehighton
area. and have a jeep as well. If you are staying in the area, we might be able to help each other out!
