Restoring a barnfind 1942 Ford GPW | WW2 jeep with recoilless rifle

Follow
Andys model and stuff

Last year I bought a 1942 jeep which I have been restoring for the last eight months. This video is a summary of the entire rebuild process from start to (almost) finish.

A lot of mechanical parts on the vehicle had to be overhauled, rapaired and replaces, and it was my goal that this video can give a rough idea to fellow enthusiasts of what it takes to get a barnfind classic car back on the road.

If you would like to support further restauration and progress on the jeep, please click the link (many thanks!) :
