My son Ryan has spent the last year or so restoring....no, refurbishing a 1951 Jeep CJ3A. This Jeep was originally purchased by his great-grandfather who used it on his farm and then later when the farm became a subdivision, the Jeep was used to mow the private golf course, pulling a 3 gang mower. Last year the association grew tired of maintaining the Jeep and bought a new Kubota to haul the mowers. Ryan purchased the Jeep and has done a pretty nice job of renewing it (he doesn't like to use the term "restore"). I'm quite proud of him, as he never tackled a project like this before. If you have the time, desire, bandwidth, and enough oomph on your data package, here are 246 photos of the project.

Re: My son's Jeep refurb
Great documentation, That is a fine looking Willys. I keep saying I will finish my 47 someday, but I have a feeling it may not go far.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Ryan did an awesome job on that refurb
Talk about attention to detail, the whole process seemed to be a labour of love for him. Tell him he done real good and his Great GrandDad would be proud I am sure. So... maybe I get to see it next time I am down and around your way
Really enjoyed the pics

Re: My son's Jeep refurb
Nice restoration, great job. I love jeeps being an ex jeep mechanic from the 70's. Before that i was into big 4x4 chevy trucks. But there is nothing like a jeep when the road gets narrow. I would love to get a CJ3b willy's. (134f head). My family buddies had stories of being in washington state and going under the deep snow like a mole in a jeep out in the fields of course.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Rudi, if you had the time to go through all the pics you'd see the 108 I used to own, about which I've posted here before.
