[@rlp2806]

I'm just curious, what year and size engine are you using? I really like this build !! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Rustomod]

It’s a 1.9 TDi pretty much an ALH version of the tdi but mechanical pump on it. We’ll go over the engine in a future episode

[@mvdesigncustomworks5460]

I suggest building custom bumpers for it, the stock ones are pretty ugly.

[@danjones1365]

Soooo, whatcha doin with the old Willys chassis?

[@Rustomod]

Selling it! If your interested let me know!

[@Rustomod]

Its a little chopped up now though

[@anselpeneloperainblossom-s3489]

It’s hard to tell from the video. Is there room for a clutch master cylinder next to the booster?
I’m doing the same build but I’m using the 2.5/5m from the donor

[@Rustomod]

That’s awesome! Yeah you should be able to definitely fit it. It is tight tho very narrow engine bay

[@anselpeneloperainblossom-s3489]

@@Rustomod it’s funny. I bought this drivetrain and found your video looking for a video going over pulling the body off my frame.
I’m using your video as a step by step guide.
The wife wants to daily her wagon. I figured this was the best way to do it.

[@Rustomod]

@@anselpeneloperainblossom-s3489 Thats awesome definitely an easy way to get modern drive line under an old willys

The 1950 Willys Wagon has different front end. This could be a 1951 and up.
