That’s typical restoration project here in the UK wish it was mine
thank you i enjoyed.
I see a 60s style Altered build there, with a 16 71 blower, injection atop a ZZ632 Chevy, Lenco, tube frame, FAB9 rear end and so forth.
Hope your doing good dude, been a minute, good luck with this little project,
Thanks man. Long time no see. Hope you and yours are doing well.
I'll need all the luck I can get with this one!
awesome didnt see the valves moven tho
Aero Kroil is a old rusty jeeps best friend
Did you ever get the motor running again? Part 2 still pending?
Unfortunately no. A family member was restoring a similar Willy's. I ended up selling the jeep to them To help finish their project. Willy's parts have become scare locally. I never ended up finding what I needed available to move on.
Once the restoration is done I may see about getting just the engine back to see about following through with getting it running
Do you need a frame? I got one, just let me know
You are close to a 1000 sub´s, and then being able to get paid for posting...but we can´t wait a year for part 2 to show up ;-)
I hate that I haven't posted in quite a while. New job new house, owning a business, life's been busy but I do have several videos in the works. I just need the time to finish them. The jeep took a turn and the ending is not what anyone would expect.

Looking forward to the next posting. Congrat´s on a new job and house 🙂
Your memory of WD 40 being flammable is mistaken my friend. Back about the time that the Willies that you are working on was built, the Acme company was contracted by the U.S. government to develop a formula to displace water that
was non corrosive, non flammable and non conductive to chase moisture from electrical fittings. That is, why by the way, you can spray it into a wet distributor cap to get the motor started. Since the compound that we all know and love was the 40th attempt to fulfill the contract, it was called WD (water displacement)40, or WD40 today. It was never designed as a penetrant or for rust repair. Isn't it nice though that that we can ridicule it for something that it was never meant to be.
If you go on wd40s website it literally says it penetrates stuck parts. Directly from the website it says ..... Although wd 40 stands for water displacement ......it contains a special blend of lubricant for anti corrosion and penetration.
I hate to burst your bubble but if you look up the msds of wd40 it warms its extremely flammable. It also lists it's flash point or ignition temp as 268 degrees. Meaning. Yes it is flammable.
I just watched a video where they reseated a tire bead like you do with a can of starting fluid and a match but they used a can of WD 40. Gotta admit that I was surprised to see it is that flammable...
there should not be a comma in the name Willys
Honest mistake
