Thanks for all the replys and welcoms ......I found this willys in a small town near to where i live it had been sitting under a tarp for 20yrs lucky we have a very dry climate or it would of been badly rusted its good for rust atm ..It is all original except it is missing the willys overland stamped rubber floor mat it was just to far gone.Ive removed the truck mirrors and added an original style clamp on round mirror added naco style tail lights added twin element globes to the front parkers so they can be indicators aswell aslo put on 7.50-16 NDTs in STA brand..The willys is road registered i often drive it 50ks or more it is slow but it drives well and the roads are very quiet around here...Over here if a vechile isnt modified and is 30yrs or older you can get club or vintage rego you have to be a member of a club and the rego is only $80 a year so i will just be keeping the willys original so i can keep the cheap rego.I did have a willys wagon that i put a 289 np435 scout diffs and 35s that i wish i still had.

Gday Gojeep when i first registerd i had a look on the members map(how good is that) i couldnt find anymore ozzies i was abit off target with mine :lol: ....73fj,Pete,WagonNut,Gojeep,Mladen.caver :cheers: :thumbup: thanks heaps Mike
