New guy from Brenham, Texas

[Brad92]

Hey, just got a non running 1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2a project. Looking forward to fixing it up and running it on our property and all the country roads around here.

Welcome and when are you planning and getting started on the willy? Have you posted up some pics of it yet?

:welcome:

i want to see some pics

 

[Brad92]

I am in the process of tracking down junkyard Jeeps for parts. My little brother bought it for $250. We are on a budget and don't have the cash to start buying new parts on the internet. I am in college at Blinn up here in Brenham.

Here are some pics:
Sorry for the crappy quality, its from my phone...

that is awesome. should get something to put on the rust to stop it before it gets worse.

like rustolium or something.

that thing will be alot of fun

keep us posted on what you doo... pics of everything haha

 

[Brad92]

Yeah, really, the rust isn't that bad. I was gonna get it running, then have the frame and the tub sandblasted or sodablasted then paint it. It will probably be going in the garage once we finish building our house.

Where did you find that oldie? Looks like the tree is growing out of it in the first pic

 

[Brad92]

In industry Tx at a automotive place.

Were the selling it or giving it away. Nice find btw!

yea get it sand blasted and painted green and try to bring it back to original. keep it a piece of history ya know. car shows love random stuff like this so you should take it to a few and who knows ya might meet someone who drove one years back and can tell ya some strories. to me that kind of thing is the best part abou having something old and unique

They wanted $500, but my little brother got them down to $250. The suspension looks complete and it does roll well, as we towed it home.

Yeah, either green, or I kinda think it would look good black.

 

[Brad92]

Is there an engine that will go in with out changing the engine mounts?

 

[Brad92]

will any 1951 cj3a parts work with a 47

Millitary green and stenciled license numbers on it would be awesome.

Due to my hectic schedule, we haven't even touched it yet since we brought it home. My college classes are taking over my life and I hate it. Summer Math sucks bad. :slap:

 

[Brad92]

we finally started work on the jeep for my engine class at school

I live in Wa. St. (Vancouver) and there is an old 40's (?) 2A in a field on my way to work. There is a for sale sign on it. I can get info if any one is interested.
Oh yea, welcome Brad !
