Great find. What size tires did you buy for it? Are those 700 or 600 series?

Thanks everyone for the help, I have contacted Ron in regards to the replacement pieces, we've also found some channel of the correct measurements to try and attempt a repair of the old one.
Tyres are 600's, the back was riding high but the new shockers have brought it down a bit.

Great job. Personally I would've left the Jeep as-is, and just maintained it. You can only be original once. Now that the restoration is almost complete, yours will "blend in" with the restored Jeeps.

Sad, but true. That's why "Claire" my '42 GPW is staying the same as she is.

Hello mate,
Just wondering if you still have your GPW and the canvas in this shot?
If you do, any chance you could post or message me some more photos of the canvas? I found mention of a 1950's Australian contract for locally made jeep canvas tops and am hoping yours might be one.
Cheers,
Ian.
