Sadly, Vic, the nice old timer owner past away last year and I am told this lot was sold to
the UK. Very friendly man who I will always have fond memories of. We always ended a sale
with food and a beer

Re: GPW 51368 1942 Restoration in Iceland
Not much progress lately due to a work accident, but I recently bought all the parts
I need to totally complete the frame-driveline-engine. Next step is to start on the
body rub work.
I sent the early 7W (July 42) Autolite dissy to Willys distributors in USA.

Looking good on the engine:
Brake lines all fitted, just need to get more clamps / put them in right places:
Finishing up the pedal system. Pedals themselves are NOS GPW from the Manila
basement:

The starter had correct "7W" date code, but looked a bit poor on the inside:
I had both the field shoe and regular starter repair kits NOS:

Amazing, what a great collection.. Will you sell one of each? I imagine you dealt with Elvie Calderon in Manila.. I remember US voltage regulators in boxes for
$89 USD- Seriously now, will you consider selling any of you multiple items?

Hello, I might sell some of it later, but I still have my 41 Slatgrill to restore and
I am help some of the local boys with parts. If you tell me what you need, I might
check to see what I have.
Many of these NOS parts are getting hard to find. I have a glass cabinet in my living
with some rare stuff. Like this NOS GPW spare parts kit:

Philip,
This is a complete kit of the spare parts which came with each jeep out of the factory. If I am reading
earlier posts right, then this kit was included in the wooden shipping boxes and when jeeps were assembled
the contents of this box would be removed and placed in a fabric spares bag and box thrown away.
The contents list tag is a repro. I would be very interested in buying a real tag to complete this kit

Hello Hinrik,
A beautiful thing, would like to have the spark plugs but actually (regarding my previous question) I could really use 2 (R/H) tie rod ends.. Can you spare any?
Thanks again,
Philip.
