Hello everybody !
after almost a year of downtime, I finally took the time to take care of the messenger! On the menu, dismantling the last parts of the transfer box, complete cleaning and painting.
Next step, reassembling the transfer box!

Sorry for my late intervention, I’m new to the forum.
But it’s been a while I’m dreaming on your jeep.
Perfect miraculous find !

And very impressive restauration job

One question : your reflectors, that I think originals, are all four marked Corcoran Brown Plastic N 100. Or Corcoran Brown Cin. Ohio Plastic N 100
It seems that the question about that is confused.
Mine are just CB

Prenez soin de vous et bravo

After once again a long time without touching it, I can finally take care of the Jeep messenger.
Having a little more means I can finally buy some equipment and parts, my first purchase is a mig welding machine.
So in order to do this by hand, I decided to take care of the back panel and fill in the holes made in the civilian sector.
