Well enough people have inquired so I decided to play with the old Willys Jeep here on the farm that I abandoned in the trees years ago as a "one day" project. Well today is the day and I decided to make it a usable yard donkey to move junk around the year. First thing first we gotta see if it'll still run and second I know the clutch and stuff where frozen so after that see if we can get this thing to drive.
