...if yours is a "script" one, and you wish to make a SERIOUS GPW: well, it is the most hori rible job of the life: I DID IT, started in 1986, until 2019, ruined marriage (also because of a Kubelwagen: started 1987, until 2020), both of them: down to ALL ORIGINAL "F"and"KZ" respectively theyr Factory bolts, and accessories.
15 year's and only have a rolling chassis, matt did it a hole lot quicker I have just finished my restoration it was a ground up rebuild it took me 2 years .
I built a CJ2A from a title and a rolling chassis…in the 1980s…sears, jc Whitney, Hemming motor news is all I had…too much time and money…nice Jeep..would not do it again
18 years is about right. I broke a tooth in my transmission on the original cluster gear on my GPW 18 years after I restored it. I have rebuilt the transmission and transfer case. But I am at a crossroads. I need to rebuild the engine. It runs. But is tired. 18 years ago I refreshed it. Found the original owner before me and the engine was rebuilt in the 1960’s. I would say it is a good run for an engine rebuild.
wrong you can buy remake bodies and everything . and electric cars are a government scan they need RARE EARTH they need rare battery parts, they are poison to build and poison to trash at end of life........... and all station recharge are 75% constant diesel motor back up . all data on line you need read more............ also remember 1977 fuel crisis fuel made from chicken shit $ 12.00 carburetor attachment. the only thing you are correct about ''is ''get thee to the junk yard now..
You don’t have to know everything before you start. Buy the service manuals and read them. TM 9-803 and TM 9-1803B are easily available and written in a step-by-step manner that even a U.S. Army Private in WW II with zero automotive experience could easily understand. Take on small tasks at first. Don’t tear everything down at once. Do small upgrades while you continue to drive it and enjoy it. After tinkering with mine for years, I took a welding class and tackled the body tub. All very doable if you are willing to take on the work in stages.
You guys restoring these days have it as easy as it can get. When I did my MB almost 40 years ago, we had NO internet, and had to source everything through some VERY limited suppliers & swap meets, if not straight out building our parts! Nice thing was, NOS was still plentiful- when you could find who had it.
Scott you are so right it is so much easier now a days with the Internet there is so much information available out there. I have just finished my jeep it has taken 2 years too do
I'd agree. I bought a GPW frame amd axles in October of 2020 and had a finished jeep at an airshow in May of 2021. The ability to connect to the world in seconds made that possible
@@kyleh3615 I had a gpw in the mid seventies and what is said here is very true, I lived in Essex UK and there was a brilliant firm in Swiss Cottage London, I believe, called Metamec if anyone remembers them, and I spent fortunes on NOS parts and got quite friendly with them and it was possible to part exchange some stuff for re working.... those were the days!!
Matt, I just watch the vintage reels from WWll, that you put in chat, really nice quality. 👌 I think that you should put that here in the main comment section.
You have forgotten the Two most important Top Tips. 1. Don't own any other Jeeps as they suck up you cash flow in repairs. 2. Don't have small children as they suck up your cash flow in diapers. Unfortunately I have both and my 42' GPW has been sitting in my Garage for 7 years. My boys love pretending to drive it though, and that is priceless.
My rule of thumb on restorations is that it will cost twice as much and take three times as long as you might think when you first start the work. That being said, don’t be intimidated. It is extremely rewarding and satisfying work! You will learn so much and teach yourself many new skills.
Super cool. I got a friend who working on a 42 ford jeep. But unfortunately its really rough. Its gonna need a ton of work before it could be considered safe.
A very good analysis of Jeep restoration, but I think, depending on builder skill level, you should budget at the very least £20,000 to achieve even a reasonable standard of restoration, and that would require a very high level of mechanical knowledge on the part of the builder, that is why a lot of Jeeps end up tucked away in the back of barns! Chris B.
Great video! I want to add a point Matt. # 'know your skills.' Make sure you can weld before starting on the tub, make sure you know how to coat the jeep before you start filling your spray gun, Check the internet before taking a regulator apart.. etc. No need to be a fully trained technician but guys like Fitzee and Trev made my life so much easier!
good points, somethings cant be re-done once you do them so learning on the job isn't always the best idea although it is possible to sort of blag it (as I found!! I was very lucky)

I'm about to embark on not a full restore but a refresh of an early CJ2A. I'm pretty stoked. I've already got a a few other vehicles under my belt including a 76 CJ5 that went all the way down to the frame. But I've always wanted an early CJ or even an MB/GPW.
i have a willys cj-2a(it started life as one, but its hammered together with parts from 2-3 decades) and i want to convert it to look like a '42-'45 MB. I'm going to have to replace everything but the drive train and frame.
Yours is one superb looking WWII Jeep! I'm far from an expert on World War II Jeeps. I took delivery of my first Jeep-brand vehicle in April 2012. I was sixty-four at the time. That said, I got my first car, a Series IIA 88" Land Rover 2.25 liter petrol station wagon in April 1964. Drove Land Rovers, a pretty good number of them, for the next 29 or 30 years. As I'm sure you know, judging from your accent, the original Land Rover of 1948 owed its basic design to the Wilkes brothers and the World War II Jeep. The Land Rover didn't evolve much between then and the end of the Series III era. My first Jeep, we still have it, is a 2012 JK Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. If anything, the Wrangler Rubicon is even more competent off the road than any Land Rover (so-called "Defender" to use its current name) that I've ever driven. Should I come across a good, reasonably-priced WWII Jeep some day---one that won't need too much work to restore to as close to original specification as possible---I'll buy it. I've been on your RUclips channel a couple of times in the past. Tonight, I'll subscribe to it. Keep up the good work. Thank you for your fine presentations! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii, USA.
Agree with your sentiment to use the cars while we still can, how much longer have we really got? I can't see electric being the answer, there are just not the resources to manufacture batteries on the scale needed and the electricity for charging, we only have enough for our needs now let alone a massive increase in demand from transport. Or will a synthetic fuel be developed cheaply and environmentally? So many unknowns except that petrol & diesel engined cars are almost certainly going to become pariahs - so we must use our cars as much as we can now otherwise it may be too late. If I am wrong, then it doesn't matter as we have had extra enjoyment! Thanks for sharing!
My dad died in 2002. He lived in Los Angeles and I'm 550 km North. We had to have a massive cleanup of his house and I had to make many trips down there to get things done for my mom. Dad's storage area had 3 WWII running flathead engines, 2 transfer cases, 2 early transmissions, and a set of Jeep early front and rear ends with the floating axles. There were boxes of original carburetors brand new, spring shackles and maybe 5 sets of brand new Jeep suspension springs, 20 in all, still wrapped in casmoline cloth, brand new oil filter assemblies steering columns, and generators, starters, new speedometers, fuel gages, ammeters in weathered boxes, etc. I instructed the Mexican ''contractor'' by phone to save these items. When I drove down there, the stupid bastard has thrown everything Jeep into the debris box and had it hauled to the landfill days before I arrived. Stupid moron no speak da Englees and threw it all away. ''Mon, you tell me trow dese tings away!'' I'm still mad at him. I have to get this off my chest and tell people who appreciate original War Surplus parts that were bought in the 1960's when they were widely available very reasonably priced. The Ford GPW Jeep still sits in my mom's garage, thank goodness, but it has the uprated CJ-A T-90 trans and transfer case and updated axles, non floating. To make matters worse, my mom had Alzheimers and lost her marbles and gave the guy most of my dad's life savings without me knowing. She passed away years later not aware that she had been ripped off.
Hmmm..let’s see…#1- don’t restore Jeep while wife is pregnant, #2- don’t try to arc weld cracked block, #3- don’t mix paint in cold weather, #4 - don’t let kids eat lunch in freshly primed tub, #5…Windshield frames are hard to come by!
To add to your comments, the Frame is everything. Often the Frame has cracks or is bent from snow plowing as an example. Repair the frame first before progressing to other areas. Often the "proper" Tow Hook is missing too, these can be tough to replace.
i found a preserved 43 MB all original parts. almost like it was fresh back from Europe, started up and runs beautifully and the only issue was the blackout light was burned out and the frame was completely rusted out, 1 pothole and it would just shatter. the frame was repairable but the amount it would cost to restore it just wasn't worth it.
@@frozengas3008 That is a problem. The MB frame was slightly stronger than that found on a GPW. Your year indicates it was the "common jeep" and that means parts from a GPW will fit on your MB. I use to belong to the Military Vehicle Preservation Assn. at one time and I think it is still around. They were always a good source for parts - secure another frame from either a MB or A GPW and you are ready to go. Few of today's old jeeps have matching numbers.- engine, frame and body. Frames are out there - if you just look.
JEEP Just Empty Every Pocket - there are also area/regional clubs w. more advice & assistance, common interest & rallies/car shows/trail rides - on-line sites... like this one. I also suggest G503 - find a good honest machine shop
I'm on my second one first one was a 54 3B and my second is a 42 GPW. It was a bare frame and nothing else. Has it cost a lot sure has and it has taken a lot of time. I have spread out buying parts here and there a little bit at a time and I have ended up having a lot of parts. Still have a long way to go. I do not have a war time L head. I have a VJ engine for it. I've seen plenty of guys have the same situation as well.
@@ruebencover5795 my GPW is mostly done now. Next thing to get are the NDT tires and glass for the windshield. I have some other tires on it so I can drive it around. So much fun as it is.
BTW, I like the warnings on the back of the canvas, no turn signals, who uses them any more? Left hand drive. I hear that the UK doesn't really like having lefties on their roads. We have them in the states, they are commonly known as postal vehicles, right hand drive so as the postman can reach out and leave your letters in the rural style mailboxes. Jumping up to this century, how is the UK on people collecting, restoring and driving the military HUmmve?
Interesting perspective and advice. Definitely good advice! Here in the US we may have a few better vendor options - not entirely sure - but thanks for the advice.
I have the opportunity to purchase a CJ3A. The owner wants $1,500 for it. The only major issue I see is the fact that someone left one of the spark plugs out and the cylinder is rusted stuck. I also think it was swapped to an F134 engine.
@@Greendot319 I was thinking about running it with LPG or LNG in the future , it would require a minimum of modifications , the main issue would be the bottle .It would be installed under the seat where the gas tank is located if its flat enough , or in place of the spare wheel or the jerrycan : a wheel shaped tank painted OD , it would be easier and would not ruin the original aspect of the vehicule. Under the rear folding seat would be an option too , you can store a cylindrical bottle ....i dont know...
Have you seen the new takom 1.16 scale model kit that's come out of this jeep? I'm building it now I'm an armour modeller I'm not bragging but am a good modeller things always Accurate and references and books always studied before and durn the builds and attend shows ots my hobby and love it! But I was going to say if your ever wanting a good sized scale model building thats identical to your own drop me a line if your ever interested I'd love to build a replica model for such a ww2 fan like myself who has the real thing and restored like this! I'm going to do the Gas detection star on the bonnet of my model like yours!
Yes. They are Phillipines manufacturers of all jeep parts, very reasonably priced. I bought the complete tub from them. There are several manufacturers in India as well.
@@asherdie Its called "humour". Back in 2018, I read a review of the current model Jeep Wrangler. It said "the styling hasn't changed since - I liked Ike! LOL!
Gas is going nowhere. We will be slowing down on electric cars because of the cost and the lack of transmission and production of power. Nice job on your jeep, it's a cherry, to say the least!
They fun off road vehicals. But over 450 hp. Engine is way too much. It only set & bounce. Fast highway if keep it on all 4 wheels. But off road too powerful. USA speed type is 45 to 55 mph tops. No a high speed vehical.
*No offense, but at 67 Y.O. I have rebuilt 9 different jeeps from tn MB38 to the 1957 Jeep pickup. The Hurricane 4 and the Supersonic 6 are not a difficult rebuild, nor is the front end, rear end, transmission , transfer case. Knowing IS the key...LOL! Parts, of course, 6 to 12 volt yes, but as to a me a mechanical challenge???....IN MY SLEEP! I am NOT alone. At least for the next 10 years. Good Luck you Nintendo KIDS, LMFAO!....and GOD HELP YOU*
You could simply say this about any resotration project. The fewer skills or money you have, the harder it will be. Otherwise this video is less than useless.
This video just made me have to go for a ride in my '42 gpw! Restored it over 14 years before I heard it run for the first time.
...if yours is a "script" one, and you wish to make a SERIOUS GPW: well, it is the most hori

Im watching this when im 15 feet away from my cj2a that im currently restoring with my dad😝
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Especially the first point. 15 years later and I finally have a rolling chassis! Now on to my cracked GPW block…

Loving that pic already! We just don't have the vintage Euro countryside scenery here in the States for pics like that. Nice!!
We are very spoilt, I know many people wont agree but the jeeps natural habitat is England and Europe! A jeep in downtown LA just doesn't look right!
@@Greendot319 Yes, visually it just seems so very correct.
Super cool. I got a friend who working on a 42 ford jeep. But unfortunately its really rough. Its gonna need a ton of work before it could be considered safe.

Off topic question but where did you buy your clothing items? Too be specific, your Mackinaw coat.
I didn’t read through all of the comments so forgive me if I’m repeating. Just Empty Every Pocket.
Have you seen the new takom 1.16 scale model kit that's come out of this jeep? I'm building it now I'm an armour modeller I'm not bragging but am a good modeller things always Accurate and references and books always studied before and durn the builds and attend shows ots my hobby and love it! But I was going to say if your ever wanting a good sized scale model building thats identical to your own drop me a line if your ever interested I'd love to build a replica model for such a ww2 fan like myself who has the real thing and restored like this! I'm going to do the Gas detection star on the bonnet of my model like yours!
In the future you can put an ev motor and batteries 😊😊
The U.S. was hit with a hurricane. Cities were without power for weeks. Electric vehicles would be useless in that scenario. Gas ain’t going no where.
Gasoline will be around for a very long time because for one thing people can't afford the electric vechile so people will stay with gas
How can you set a budget if you're restoring car like this for the first time and thus you don't have a clue what is all that going to cost???
Have you ever heard from MD JAUN or ordered from them
Yes. They are Phillipines manufacturers of all jeep parts, very reasonably priced. I bought the complete tub from them. There are several manufacturers in India as well.
Was enzos quote a jab about that’s the best America can do (shitting on the Jeep too) or saying the Jeep is a good car?
Saying The jeeps good ;) Apparently the quote isn't real either according to the internet (like most quotes!)
Space tools knowledge time money
TP should be 25 PSI
Your Jeep is 80 years old. My Jeep is 2 years old. I have a 2 door JL. They look exactly the same! I love my Jeep!
Get your eyes checked.
@@asherdie Its called "humour". Back in 2018, I read a review of the current model Jeep Wrangler. It said "the styling hasn't changed since - I liked Ike! LOL!
If you need to shoot, shoot, don't talk.
I don't need to shoot, not anymore anyway
Gas is going nowhere. We will be slowing down on electric cars because of the cost and the lack of transmission and production of power. Nice job on your jeep, it's a cherry, to say the least!
Enzo Ferrari was then beat by another ford at le mans
They fun off road vehicals. But over 450 hp. Engine is way too much. It only set & bounce. Fast highway if keep it on all 4 wheels. But off road too powerful. USA speed type is 45 to 55 mph tops. No
a high speed vehical.
*No offense, but at 67 Y.O. I have rebuilt 9 different jeeps from tn MB38 to the 1957 Jeep pickup. The Hurricane 4 and the Supersonic 6 are not a difficult rebuild, nor is the front end, rear end, transmission , transfer case. Knowing IS the key...LOL! Parts, of course, 6 to 12 volt yes, but as to a me a mechanical challenge???....IN MY SLEEP! I am NOT alone. At least for the next 10 years. Good Luck you Nintendo KIDS, LMFAO!....and GOD HELP YOU*
Or you could go out and buy a new one or a good used one.
You are better off buying one that's reasonably done as you will end up spending alot more doing it yourself
Add more number of videos per week.
But they make reproductions in the Philippines
There is no point in starting a project if you can't finish it? That's just crazy talk! Lol
You could simply say this about any resotration project. The fewer skills or money you have, the harder it will be. Otherwise this video is less than useless.
