Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford

Hi men it's done ! It took me three days to get the gearbox and transfer case back under the jeep...let's say that I had to start again twice because the fork that actuates the clutch slipped away and was hiding under the clutch and flywheel where I couldn't reach it anymore. After a few days of fru...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford

Hello guys an update of the adventures with the jeep. The first big bug appeared! When I parked the jeep in the garage after a 40 miles ride, the next morning there was a puddle of thick gear oil under it. At the beginning I didn't worry about it and thought that it was normal, these jeeps are known...

Re: Front fork identification

Hi Redzee

don't worry about that part.
The chrome only gets to the outside of the fork stanchions, not on the inside.
The fork stanchions of my Gpz1100B2 were also rechromed and they're the same.
These turned out good after rechroming.

Re: How much to rebuild a Zed Engine

Hi Shed20a if I were you, I'd sell the bike as it is and give the Z1b casings with the bike. The buyer can decide himself if he wants them replaced or not. Your bike is beautiful but not original (wheels, carbs,...) so I wouldn't bother about swapping the casings. It might cost you more than you can...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford

Hi men yesterday, friday the third of May, I went to the MOT with the jeep. :?: Since the jeep didn't came with a license plate I used the license plate of my car to ride to the MOT station. As long as you have an insurance for even one day for that vehicle, you're safe to do that in Belgium, alltho...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford

Hello men thanks a lot for all the compliments! @ Bill: I don't know if Thorben will ride along...he's rather agressive towards other people and dogs when he's in the garden, who knows what might happen if he's in the back of a jeep... @ 660smc : I also started long ago with a model jeep but in a 1/...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford

Gentlemen the jeep made it's "maidentrip" this morning! I was able to borrow the special license plates from a garageholder to use them on the jeep. This morning, I took her on the road for the first time! The jeep rides, the gearbox is shifting, the brakes are working, it's a big relief f...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford

Hello men I did some more work on the jeep the past week. Most of it was "cosmetical"... The dashboard received a new paintcoat after all the knobs and gauges were taped off and then I mounted the rifle holder. DSCN5668.JPG I also took the oppotunity of the rainy weather to start adding th...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford

Hello gentlemen It's alive !!! The past weeks I've been doing a lot of detailwork on the jeep. The paint of the jerrycan was stripped and a hole was discovered in the bottom... I left it open for a few days and took the chance of welding it and it worked out, the hole is shut. The inside of the jerr...
