Should I buy?

Hmmm, well, me and you and your step-dad can all work on our restoration projects this summer!

yeah, the jeep would make a good practice body for welding.

Some time ago, co-worker friend of mine paid alot for a trashed war era jeep.
They are very desired in original form.
I still remember him showing me things like the headlights could be turned in to light up the engine bay.
After seeing that, I could understand the value of the war jeeps.

If you want to put an after-market body on a jeep, there may be more modern drive trains to start with?

The replacement body you mentioned I think would be a waste. These jeeps are mostly straight sheet metal and what little is curved is only 2 dimensional. Who wants to throw away three grand on a body that could be better spent on your VX anyways?:bgwg:

LOL...looks like they've been using it as the "19th hole" for chipping practice...

Back in high school, my wheelin' buddy Jim (Trooper Jim, my roomie @ the Rock) had a 46' Willys w/ a 283 bowtie under the hood. MAN we had a lotta fun trashin' that thing...

This will be a S...L...O...W project for sure.

I tow it home (parents house actually) sunday.

Well I finally got more pics since taking it home(Parents' home anyway). It needs a LOT of body work and I am uncertain about the motor and drivetrain right now. It has been nice so I just need to get over there and decide where to start.

Any opinions on where to start would be appreciated. I dont plan on a full restore. I would like to make it wheelable and street legal, maybe.
