I certainly will . . . I spent ages reading through so many posts on G503 before pulling the trigger.twinflyer17 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 3:32 amGreat looking jeep, Michael!

I need to sincerely thank every body who contributes here because without the knowledge, I’m sure I may have purchased a dud from the start.
This place ensures I knew what I was looking for and was at least armed.
That said, I have so much to learn but I’m finding the more I drive it the more I learn and I just love wasting hours “tinkering in my garage” now.
Thanks again everyone,
Michael

More pics! Just having a blast!
I’ve also added a photo of the Jeep from the mid-80’s when it resides in England

Hi Guys,

Re: Hello from DownUnder with my ‘43 Willys Jeep
Congratulations Mike. I to am a recent GPW owner. Picked mine up the end of last August. I can’t wait to Get on it. It’s pretty beat up but actually very solid. I plan on getting it as straight as possible and replace as little as possible because it’s mostly original. I just have to sell off a few more items from my last hobby to make more room in the pole building.
Good luck

Nice Willys.
Are you going to join AMVCS or are you already in a club?
Next year is Year of the Jeep at Corowa NSW. Would be great to see you there.
Cheers,
Ian
