Looked through the whole video yesterday. Very good production. Making a film like that, while working on the Jeep, and with all the editing afterwards, is an insane amount of work. Thumbs up and subscribe from here. Just been through the same fun job with my REDFord this winter, who I picked up in Levanger in August 2023. Tempting to repeat. Thanks 👌
Thank you so much, glad you like it! Filming and editing turned into a project in itself, but I have to say I am quite happy with the result. Already looking for a new vehicle to restore, it is very contagious once you get going!
Good production. I'm sure you made your father proud . I know I would be proud of a son who had your tenacity. Good luck. On your marriage. It will be filled with ups and downs, But with hard work from both sides, it will be the most rewarding thing you will ever have in your life. Congrats
Bravo! Great job! I love how you went from not knowing much about mechanical car work to fixing and RESTORING a piece of history! What an awesome video!
This restoration/overhaul was so interesting to watch, the way you made this video was informative and a joy to watch. I sat with a smile trough out the whole thing. Great work Anders!
Amigo, que manera de sufrir y la alegría cuando arranco el motor!!!!! Sentí que lo estaba armando con vos. Excelente trabajo y puesta en marcha. Creo que solo falto ver la conexión de las luces traseras. Felicitaciones!!!!!! Hermoso Willys!!!!! Gracias por el video.
You may think some of that stuff was in horrible condition, but that whole Willys was in AMAZING condition! I would die to find one in that good of shape! Excellent video!
Oh yea, make no mistake I know that the all over condition was good, but the guy I bought if from claimed it was a matter of a new battery and then hit the road, which it clearly wasn't. Thanks!
Excellent mate. Just finished watching the whole video. You did great with some pretty big jobs on there. I would be going nuts if I had to pull the head off my engine :D It has come out really well and great to see you enjoying it at a show. That is what it is all about :D
Thanks! Taking of the head was really not a huge deal, the only issue was me beeing terrified the hole time. I was scared the block had frose cracked but once that turned out to be OK it was a huge relief, and after it was machined it was sooo satisfying to put it back together. No issues so far!
Fantastic video, you see now how a jeep has a soul. As far as you not having the right size feeler gauge to adjust your valves, you do. Just add fellers on your set together to equal the right size. It's so nice to see your passion and how you saved her life. Thanks for sharing
BRILLIANT video , was totally engrossed from start to finish . Look forward to many videos featuring your Jeep . Also many congratulations on your wedding , hopefully your wife loves jeeps as well , it’s an time consuming and sometimes expensive love affair ! . I’m the proud custodian of a 1945 Willys MB . Love it to bits
Thanks a lot mate, glad you like it! Yes, she is (thankfully) onboard with riding along and she is very patient with me! Will post more videos during the summer when it's road leagal, so hopefully it will run just as well then
A tips, if you need to remove rust from small parts and have no opportunity to sand or medium blast, use citric acid solution, its very cheap and you can buy it in almost every bigger food store!!!
A bit of advice from Denmark: You changed out a perfectly fine original carb to manifold gasket. The repro ones with the copper bushings in the holes are crap, and should never have been invented. The copper prevents the gasket from compressing, and intake leaks are often seen with those. Find an original one without the copper bushings, or remove them from the gasket (or reuse the old one if it is not broken).
They were somewhat common in Norway in early 1960's as a war torn Norwegian economy could not afford modern tanks. We did however get hold of about 120 m24 Chaffe tanks, and they were in use up til the late 1990's
I live in Belgium and did my military service in Germany Siegen 1974 and there I drove a lot with Willy Jeep and I thought that was absolutely cool, I don't know why I want to recreate a scale model of Willy on scale of 1/16 or 1/15 in wood or plastic ? and your work here is beautiful and I am actually jealous of it👍and cool that you speak English, at one point I saw that the driver's window was no longer a double separated one and also on your wedding ride👌💌and on the parade again a separated windows for the weapon ? also a metal rod (with a slight fold) is missing in the engine part from the hinge point under the hood and the radiator and on that radiator there is a metal angle piece with 90 degrees to be able to mount this (to ensure the radiator is secure). 👍😉
You have a good eye for details ;) I have to separate windscreens on the jeep: the original one and the 1950-s norwegian modified split screen. I swap them out when I want do drive one version or another and I like to tell people I have two jeeps! I do have the rod to hold the radiator in place, but that was the last thing I put on so its not shown
All that grease around the master cylinder looks to me like it has probably come from years of grease being pumped into the steering draglink assembly. You can see the grease nipple for the drag link sticking out and it is the only place near the master cylinder that gets greased. It is possible some of the gunk is also oil that has leaked out of the steering box over time :)
Best of luck man! I hope this video gives you some insight into what you can expect if you go on to work on a jeep. I bought the catalog at my local military vehicle preservation association here in Norway, so I am not sure where you can get one. It's called "The complete WW2 military jeep manual, covering willys model MB and Ford model GPW", and it looks like its avaliable on Amazone however
I'll assume that what we have here is a WWII US jeep that has been modified for UK postwar service by adding additional marker lights and has had a newer M38 recoilless rifle windscreen added. Being a WWII enthusiast, I recommend ditching the newer windscreen for a correct type. (I see you took my advice :). The horn is likely a UK replacement that I can live with. The saddest part is the rear body panel being eliminated. This can be rectified (no rush) as replacement body parts are available. Then at the ending, sadly, you have to spoil the whole works by wasting money and time on the postwar replica stuff. :( Having bemoaned this, if you object is to show the vehicle as a postwar UK service item, that is a different tale.
It's a WWII jeep alright, but it has been modified by the Norwegian Army in 1955, and that is how I mean to display it :) there are loads of WWII original jeeps still around here in Norway, but postwar modifications are quite rare and interesting, so this one is shown off as one of those
Odd as for being an absolute amateur as you alledge, you handle all the crucial wrenching moments like a pro, are you sure you wasn't a mecanic in your previous life???🧐🤨🤔😃

Thank you very much, glad you liked the video! It was a lot of work, but I am very happy to drive around in it now
Great episode, thanks for sharing!!!👍👍👍

@@andysmodelandstuff4306 yes have heard that from auto sellers. Also “ should run just fine, ran when it was parked”!

A very WOW jeep enjoy it looks so original...
A tips, if you need to remove rust from small parts and have no opportunity to sand or medium blast, use citric acid solution, its very cheap and you can buy it in almost every bigger food store!!!
Thanks! I''ll keep that in mind
Thank you very much for starting your 1942 Jeep project. Great job!
Nothing cooler than an original Army Jeep !
Really well done! Great work.
Thank you, Andy!

Wow. What a show! Thanks... Liked!
Never seen a ww2 with recoiled rifle. Very interesting.
They were somewhat common in Norway in early 1960's as a war torn Norwegian economy could not afford modern tanks. We did however get hold of about 120 m24 Chaffe tanks, and they were in use up til the late 1990's
Thank you for video. I got a big pleasure seeing your work. Good luck. Remind from Russia.
Thanks!
I live in Belgium and did my military service in Germany Siegen 1974 and there I drove a lot with Willy Jeep and I thought that was absolutely cool, I don't know why I want to recreate a scale model of Willy on scale of 1/16 or 1/15 in wood or plastic ? and your work here is beautiful and I am actually jealous of it👍and cool that you speak English, at one point I saw that the driver's window was no longer a double separated one and also on your wedding ride👌💌and on the parade again a separated windows for the weapon ? also a metal rod (with a slight fold) is missing in the engine part from the hinge point under the hood and the radiator and on that radiator there is a metal angle piece with 90 degrees to be able to mount this (to ensure the radiator is secure). 👍😉

Great video 😊😊😊you should as you say be very pleased with yourself
Thank you👌😊🤓

Aha, that would make sense! I was no closer to figuring out what had happened, but you are probably right, thank you!
The big part was having it inside with someone who actually kept it somewhat nice.... mine was left outside and had bubba working on it
Im thinking of starting a project like this can you tell me wear to find this jeep parts catolog! Great video and a really great jeep

I don't think so many years past the fuel is still there ?

HOW YOU CAN WORK IN THAT COLD I DO NOT KNOW, BUT YOU WOULD NOT LIKE MY 115 DEG. F EITHER.
It’s a Jeep , not a car 😀
Odd as for being an absolute amateur as you alledge, you handle all the crucial wrenching moments like a pro, are you sure you wasn't a mecanic in your previous life???🧐🤨🤔😃
Well thank you :) It's amazing what you can pick up trough TH-cam and old army manuals!
nice job but are you sure that this is ford gpw look at the rear shock absorber
Yes, no doubt. It was rebuilt by the Norwegian Army in 1955, that's why it's a bit different
