@@EverettCrowl you can still draw on a piece of paper despite it being ripped, or blackened and smudged up. Same as this, it's the engine the chassis that runs it, not the body of the automobile. And not everything has a multifunctional choice of speed at all times, you see back in the day we had this excellent thing called creativity, you could have a performance automobile, and a slower smooth driving automobile, and not have both in one. Give yourself more variety, not a plastic molded frame they had years to think on changing, and choose the same goddamn design every other auto car has today. Also rust can be removed, it isn't like it's atoms are weakened.

In Spain you have to pass a car test every year or every 6 months. If the tires are not stock, they tell you that you can't go on the road. If the road cops see you with something like that you are getting a good ol' insane fine and your license taken😅
Here in California, we have no vehicle inspections. Its ironic because California is the most over-regulated and over-taxed state in every category you can think of, especially emissions testing, yet there are no safety inspections. Your car can be in unsafe condition to drive and no one cares at all. But if it doesn't pass smog check (emissions testing), you can't renew your tags and is not 'legal' to drive in CA roads until you get it smogged.
LOL. I know there are US states where they have some sort of safety inspections (probably not as good as your country's), but others don't have that. California has emissions testing, and that's it.
As a Filipino who's traditional "Jeepneys" are originally made from these Willys Jeep (& thanks to the creativity of my fellow Filipinos out there 😀), I say this is truely fantastic!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.
Spoke to a guy driving a 1946 Willy's the other day. He was there when his parents bought it new. He was 3 years old at the time. He said his mother taught him how to drive in that Willy's and he taught his son how to drive in that Willy's. I told him his old Jeep was an heirloom. Pretty cool.
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.
I learned how to drive in one of these. No down shifting. no turn signals. 45mph top speed. Ours was military. so slightly different...THINK 1944! WW2!
FOR SALE- Jeep, one owner from new, low miles for year, good overall condition, a few 'age related' marks, slight delaquering, but paintwork ok, a few small rust bubbles, could do with a good wax and polish to bring out the lustre and shine. Drives! Now for the bad bits, no spare tyre, slight play in steering, idle needs adjusting and no windscreen wipers, however in LA it never rains!! 😯⚠️😁👍😎
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.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but how is this legal? Here in Austria (and as far as I know every other European country) we need to have our cars inspected yearly and boy let me tell you, if you rolled up with a rust hole this big you'd be in trouble.
Here in California they only test for emissions, the only way someone could stop you from driving this here would be to pull you over and give you a ticket for no windshield

Your car can be in unsafe condition to drive and no one cares at all. But if it doesn't pass smog check (emissions testing), you can't renew your tags and is not 'legal' to drive in CA roads until you get it smogged.
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
lovely rust bucket, how much lighter did it become after your drive?
The ford fusion when there's a slight whine in the break. "Sorry mate, can't be having that past your MOT". Meanwhile in the US:
LOL. I know there are US states where they have some sort of safety inspections (probably not as good as your country's), but others don't have that. California has emissions testing, and that's it.
Sheeesh
Sheesh
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.
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! 💗
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
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.

"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.

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.
that car is running on hopes and dreams
No it run on the sweat piss and tears of us army marines and whale oil.
“I assume it passes smog”
Mmmmmm I dunno about that hahaha
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
Hope this video is still up in 2048, when I would like to watch it again, if I'm alive.
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!!!!
i know early jeep enough to know you got to double de~clutch while shifting gears
Spoke to a guy driving a 1946 Willy's the other day. He was there when his parents bought it new. He was 3 years old at the time. He said his mother taught him how to drive in that Willy's and he taught his son how to drive in that Willy's. I told him his old Jeep was an heirloom. Pretty cool.
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
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.
Really this is just a road legal tractor
“Sounding good”
Buddy, one big bump and the whole thing falls apart
1948 and still runs..... what's a beast 🔥❤️💀
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.
I clicked literally the second I saw! Love the Willys jeep
Put some floor boards in it, and it’s mint 👌🏼
She got some style even with all the rust
Sometimes fun involves some rather insane amounts of danger. I love this!
Still powering through despite the holes and quirks, wonderful thing!
I learned how to drive in one of these. No down shifting. no turn signals. 45mph top speed. Ours was military. so slightly different...THINK 1944! WW2!
FOR SALE-
Jeep, one owner from new, low miles for year, good overall condition, a few 'age related' marks, slight delaquering, but paintwork ok, a few small rust bubbles, could do with a good wax and polish to bring out the lustre and shine.
Drives!
Now for the bad bits, no spare tyre, slight play in steering, idle needs adjusting and no windscreen wipers, however in LA it never rains!! 😯⚠️😁👍😎
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.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how is this legal?
Here in Austria (and as far as I know every other European country) we need to have our cars inspected yearly and boy let me tell you, if you rolled up with a rust hole this big you'd be in trouble.
Most of California has pretty strict inspections but the rules are way more lax on old cars like this. I think all cars pre 1975 are smog exempt
He said in the video that it definitely isn’t fully legal lol
The graphic says it all. :P
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_inspection_in_the_United_States
I believe anything older then 40 years old here in the eu does not need to be tested so that would be kinda legal here.
Here in California they only test for emissions, the only way someone could stop you from driving this here would be to pull you over and give you a ticket for no windshield
You can drive one of these on the road all damn day but you can’t buy a Japanese car that’s newer than 1995, to hell with us auto legislation.
Your mistake is thinking the legislation is there for your safety ^.^
@@666louis I know that mbusa is the main reason for the 25 year law but still.
@@alonzolopez9649 Hi Alonzo, I don't live in the states, what's mbusa and how does it relate to the import laws?
I just thought the law's probably there to protect the US-Automobile market from competition.
I still have my first new Honda I bought in 71. It's currently tagged.
@@666louis The United States branch of Mercedes Benz, they were one of the main lobbying parties for the import restrictions.
Omg man... can that even be repaired? I like restoring old things, but that... that's something.
