Default Welcome to the fun

Hi John

Hope you have as much fun with your CMP as I've had with mine. Does look like you are starting with a good one. As you probably found from reading of MLU is these are amazingly tough long lived military vehicles yet are really straightforward to work on and maintain.

If yours is drivable, consider doing all the work necessary to make it safe and reliable, then do a driving restoration, where you start driving it and enjoy it, while you take on the body work chunk at a time.

If you know how to weld or have ever wanted learn, CMPs are much easier to do body work on than modern cars because of the thickness of the steel.

Enjoy exploring your new CMP, and keep us posted on your progress.

Cheers Phil

PS CMPs make nice roadster while you work on the cab roof.
