Thread: Christmas Pagent & playing in the creek

assume that adrian has repaired the underside of the drivers area?? (last time I recall some bent and hanging bits!! although it was a while ago!)

Hi there Digger

I believe the floor area has been repaired, a few weeks ago when I seen them they were fitting the original huge pto winch - having a few troubles as the pto shaft will not fit as the IIa is fitted with Extractors.

All the best

But the total of 1948 and 1949 together was only 8,000, compare this with double the number of Jeeps built by Willys in the second half of 1941.
