As a Filipino who's traditional "Jeepneys" are originally made from these Willys Jeep (& thanks to the creativity of my fellow Filipinos out there 😀), I say this is truely fantastic! Keep up the great work, Sir! 💗
That's the beauty of owning a vintage flaty with an original tub. They're a weapon of war and born ugly. Scab in some floor boards and soak the entire Jeep in kersosene. Then park it in the sun. Your Jeeps now fully protected and ready to do Jeep shit.
No crumple zones, no air bags, no rollover protection, no seat belts - ANY sort of collision is going to hurt! And with that much play in the steering you don't have time for texting. If all cars were like this more drivers would pay attention to actually driving and staying safe.
Driving a barely running old thing like this is sometimes more fun than having a fast, modern car. You just gotta feel like it. I live in Middle Europe, we had this socialist car called the Skoda 120L (or Skoda Estelle in the UK, not sure they exported it anywhere else). Rear-engined, rear wheel drive, makes... some power. Around 54hp. I had a '77 one of those in similarly... "panoramic" condition, I mean I had a great view to the road beyond me as well. But it was running and I used it before it was restored. Great fun. Scary fun though, and not one the police likes.
The 120L? Great car. Rear end was a bit loose and sadly rusted easily which is why they need treatment often, and the stick barely finding 2nd and 4th but otherwise, great
That was a real life loading screen tip when you were stopped at the traffic light and noted that you can see the road through the floor. I actually didn't realize it's not road legal until you mentioned it though. Didn't think about it, just figured it came from the factory like that or something.
It depends on the state; here in Minnesota you can drive around with the windshield off or folded down, just need to be wearing eye protection, same as a motorcycle.
Crazy to think that the mechanics who put this beautiful rust bucket together are long gone, yet their work is still being driven by maniacs like Tedward and enjoyed by viewers like us 🫡
Body tub actually isn’t too bad just needs some floor pan patches. Kaiser willys sells pre-made patches that can be welded in or you can just use sheet metal.
The look is intentional if you pay attention to the walk around the engine and frame/suspension are meticulously pristine. The body is meant to be a rusty patina shell.
Also, all of the old Willys Jeeps had synchros on 2nd and 3rd gears. If you can't shift up or down into those gears without double-clutching, either the synchros are shot, or you are not trying to shift anywhere near the shift points (for example, the shift point for the 2-3 shift is 20 mph).
That was the best effing car related video I have ever seen. I haven't seen rust that gorgeous since the 1970's. Reminds me of an old International Harvestor SUV Suburban type thing my uncle in Riverside had. It was huge and must have weighed about 10 tons. He called it "the old I.H." When I was a kid, we drove it out to Fontana in search of a cheap spare tire. It was like riding in a big metal box with brown vinyl bench seats. The only A/C was rolling down the window by hand crank. Interesting ride. Thanks for the memory.
One of our family friends has a Willy’s MB from the second world war and its in almost perfect condition. Many people have willy’s MB’s in this region of France after the joint reoccupation in 1944 as a lot of the equipment surplus was just given away to the local villagers. Its nice just driving it around.
The one you can leave the key in the ignition at your local grocery store, come back out and it will be waiting for you as you left it. Good luck for the one who decides to (car-jack) you.
Don't worry he has one goal throughout this video and that's to make it sound as old as possible, make up shit about it not working yet show clearly that it's practically acting great, he doesn't once say "of course it's not as well driving as when it was new" just talking to it like it's always been rusted and broken like all modern car lovers dream. I'd say he's under the impression that a 73 year old since factory created automobile needs to behave like a bitching sports car at all times or else it isn't "good", but honestly I'd say he's rather under the influence.
@@camcordernonsense5264 when your gearbox isn't synchronized you have to double clutch. basically in a nutshell when changing up a gear you have to clutch in- go to netural- clutch out - clutch back in- change to next gear. So instead of going directly to the next gear like in a modern car you have use neutral to get to the next gear otherwise your going to have a lot of grinding & a whole lotta fighting.

I would LOVE to see a restoration of this that would be so satisfying to see the before and after
Nahhh I don’t think restoration is a good idea, the rust adds character
@@MIKEK3NT leave the surface rust, but patch the holes in the floor maybe?
What this thing needs is a broom and a bucket.
this body is pretty much done for. it think if you did an acid bath, the whole car would turn into a liquid
Ok, so make s new floor.
I apprectiate you risking your life for us lol. "He lived and died in the name of entertaining car nerds."

Nice profile pic
I would totally drive this around town, it's god damn beautiful.
How?
@@superbtoocool3803 beauty is in the eye of the beholder, although I admit this is the equivalent of call8ng a crack head sexy.
Second that, beautiful jeep, although that is also coming from someone who daily drives a 48 Dodge (1 ton)
I'd drive it to work lol
@@superbtoocool3803 because it’s got a refined (and interesting) design for something built for military purposes lol
As a Filipino who's traditional "Jeepneys" are originally made from these Willys Jeep (& thanks to the creativity of my fellow Filipinos out there 😀), I say this is truely fantastic! Keep up the great work, Sir! 💗
This is what happens when you leave your HotWheels in the sandbox for too long, kids.
This Jeep is a Deathtrap! Yet, after more than 70 years, it still held up better than modern cars!👍😎
Modern cars aren't 70 years old yet, you know. 😂👌
@@piuthemagicman and they will never be
You can come and see me what can you buy with me
My wife's family used to had one, drove it in sand dunes they are imposible to flip!
@@piuthemagicman Tell that to the modern Vauxhalls and oldish Moskvitchs that have disintegrated
Man, the sacrifices you make to keep us entertained. Hats off... literally.
Old Jeeps never die. They just evaporate.
Patina taken to a whole new level!
It's not rust if you call it patina
@@mopar_randy4952 😂 when people make bad purchases, it’s always that isn’t it?
Or dealers
That's the beauty of owning a vintage flaty with an original tub. They're a weapon of war and born ugly.
Scab in some floor boards and soak the entire Jeep in kersosene. Then park it in the sun. Your Jeeps now fully protected and ready to do Jeep shit.
In a “car” like this, you can see how he assesses EVERYONE as a threat
No crumple zones, no air bags, no rollover protection, no seat belts - ANY sort of collision is going to hurt! And with that much play in the steering you don't have time for texting. If all cars were like this more drivers would pay attention to actually driving and staying safe.
The floor has holes in it and he’s DRIVING IT WHAT A LEGEND
Your car doesn't? My car, and all of my friends cars for that matter, have ventilated floors.
@@reesewilliamson3346 ok cool
The good part about all the rust is if the brakes do fail you can just pout your feet through the floor Flintstone style to stop.
I actually have a wheel from one of these cars, and it was the military version my grandpa restored the wheel and turned it into a table.
Nice
Thats cool
Noice!
Nice
Driving a barely running old thing like this is sometimes more fun than having a fast, modern car. You just gotta feel like it. I live in Middle Europe, we had this socialist car called the Skoda 120L (or Skoda Estelle in the UK, not sure they exported it anywhere else). Rear-engined, rear wheel drive, makes... some power. Around 54hp. I had a '77 one of those in similarly... "panoramic" condition, I mean I had a great view to the road beyond me as well. But it was running and I used it before it was restored. Great fun. Scary fun though, and not one the police likes.
Trust me on this. My flat fender has scarred me more at 5mph than any high speed exotic ever has.
You tube search "granpas jeeps greatest hits"
The 120L? Great car. Rear end was a bit loose and sadly rusted easily which is why they need treatment often, and the stick barely finding 2nd and 4th but otherwise, great
Could we not say socialist car?
"How fast are we going?"
No idea.
that car is running on hopes and dreams
No it run on the sweat piss and tears of us army marines and whale oil.
That was a real life loading screen tip when you were stopped at the traffic light and noted that you can see the road through the floor. I actually didn't realize it's not road legal until you mentioned it though. Didn't think about it, just figured it came from the factory like that or something.

It depends on the state; here in Minnesota you can drive around with the windshield off or folded down, just need to be wearing eye protection, same as a motorcycle.

I would be seriously afraid to either die in this thing or fall out while driving it. Congratulations for having balls of steel. ;)
They're not hard to stay in, unless cornering Sharp at speex
Crazy to think that the mechanics who put this beautiful rust bucket together are long gone, yet their work is still being driven by maniacs like Tedward and enjoyed by viewers like us 🫡
i know them females be sweating for you when they see you pulling up in that fine wipe
I own a Willy's M38 that has this level of rust. This is a death machine for sure, but it's pretty much art.
Amazing, you wouldn’t see a Tesla still running after almost 80 years

Sometimes fun involves some rather insane amounts of danger. I love this!
Still powering through despite the holes and quirks, wonderful thing!
Body tub actually isn’t too bad just needs some floor pan patches. Kaiser willys sells pre-made patches that can be welded in or you can just use sheet metal.
The look is intentional if you pay attention to the walk around the engine and frame/suspension are meticulously pristine. The body is meant to be a rusty patina shell.
Imagine going to pick up a girl for a first date on this. If she agrees to get in, just marry her
She got some style even with all the rust
The first day of my summer vacation: I woke up. I went for a drive in a Fred Flintstone-mobile. I almost died.
The rust is what is holding this jeep together.. lol
The audio is the EXACT same as farcry 3.
I mean the crunching and everything.
Respect for all these rusty creatures that still rocks!!!!! Good test, LOVE these videos!!!!
Also, all of the old Willys Jeeps had synchros on 2nd and 3rd gears. If you can't shift up or down into those gears without double-clutching, either the synchros are shot, or you are not trying to shift anywhere near the shift points (for example, the shift point for the 2-3 shift is 20 mph).
Cant imagine how clean it was when it got finished for the first time
"People dig it but I don't want to die in it" pretty much summarises the whole video
Wish I checked the comments before I watched 9 minutes of him complain about how unsafe it is.
Cars 3 pandemic 😷🤢😷😷🤢
I clicked literally the second I saw! Love the Willys jeep
That was the best effing car related video I have ever seen. I haven't seen rust that gorgeous since the 1970's. Reminds me of an old International Harvestor SUV Suburban type thing my uncle in Riverside had. It was huge and must have weighed about 10 tons. He called it "the old I.H." When I was a kid, we drove it out to Fontana in search of a cheap spare tire. It was like riding in a big metal box with brown vinyl bench seats. The only A/C was rolling down the window by hand crank. Interesting ride. Thanks for the memory.
1948 and still runs..... what's a beast 🔥❤️💀
I love cars that have history behind them. They've seen better days and been through the toughest times
One of our family friends has a Willy’s MB from the second world war and its in almost perfect condition. Many people have willy’s MB’s in this region of France after the joint reoccupation in 1944 as a lot of the equipment surplus was just given away to the local villagers. Its nice just driving it around.
the fact that this is street legal is hilarious
yeah right, I'd love to see this pass a WOF
@@yngfljm2277 thats exactly what I was thinking lol
The one you can leave the key in the ignition at your local grocery store, come back out and it will be waiting for you as you left it. Good luck for the one who decides to (car-jack) you.
You are so brave to drive this car this is so antique.
The good thing about those Jeeps, is you can get the parts I remember them selling the whole body,that you put on the rolling chasis,
Even available in stainless steel too
That left foot throttle maneuver is next level LOL
He got it right except when you drive these a lot you do it all with the right foot, work the starter with your toe and the gas pedal with your heel.
Put some floor boards in it, and it’s mint 👌🏼
lovely rust bucket, how much lighter did it become after your drive?
this is the content we subscribed for
Just driving with the doors off on my Jeep makes me want to get bucket seats with harnesses. Can’t imagine driving something like this lmaoo
Nice to see piece of art being driven instead of sitting in the park
You drove by within 3 blocks from where I built my 46 Willys in the driveway! :)
That double clutching is smooth af!
Maybe try some clutchless shifting whenever you get another chance with this.
Don't worry he has one goal throughout this video and that's to make it sound as old as possible, make up shit about it not working yet show clearly that it's practically acting great, he doesn't once say "of course it's not as well driving as when it was new" just talking to it like it's always been rusted and broken like all modern car lovers dream. I'd say he's under the impression that a 73 year old since factory created automobile needs to behave like a bitching sports car at all times or else it isn't "good", but honestly I'd say he's rather under the influence.
what is double clutch
@@camcordernonsense5264 when your gearbox isn't synchronized you have to double clutch. basically in a nutshell when changing up a gear you have to clutch in- go to netural- clutch out - clutch back in- change to next gear. So instead of going directly to the next gear like in a modern car you have use neutral to get to the next gear otherwise your going to have a lot of grinding & a whole lotta fighting.
@@camcordernonsense5264 it’s a way of shifting. One press of the clutch when going into neutral and one more for getting into gear.
so if my jeep's transmission synchros do go, (gee why might I be asking about this), can I use this to limp home in a yj?
watching the lane lines pass by through the passenger floor hole is terrifying
Omg man... can that even be repaired? I like restoring old things, but that... that's something.
