    I Bought this jeep three years ago for a restoration project. It at the for a year while I worked on a 56 dodge cab and a 79 Bradley gt. Then I left my wife... Everything eventually found its way down the road except the jeep. I owned a cj7 years and years ago and always wanted another jeep... I like the shorter one here... Well its finialy time for me to pull it out soon and start to work on it. Some rot in the genders and surface today in many areas. Bondo over the body coming off from the metal where it looked beat up... F134 turns over strongly but can not start. Previous owner converted it to 12v keeping the points but could never get it to start again and gave up. I have several things I want to do to it. First to get it running and in the road.. Then slowly rebuilding it into what I dream of. I bought it with a 51 title... Chassis may be not sure... But I'm leaning heavily toward a 65 body wise and running gear etc... I have a 59 cj5 title now for it... So since some things done jive and definitely won't when I'm done.. It will be a mix and match mutt... But still a Willy cj5.... Figured Willy Nilly is a great name.. Two photos are the day I brought it home. Rest are the way it sits in the barn right now.. Last two are of a hero I found on the net that shows my my exterior vision... Thanks....

    Look at the Forum help & Testing section for detailed help. I personally recommend " Beaming Pictures" for a picture hosting site.
