Ford GP (series 1) slow build

[Little Jo]

Hi Lynn

I always wondered what the attraction of the WA outback has, I have a younger brother who is drawn there every year and spends 4 months in the bush with his metal detector, though I suggested to him many times the only big lump he will find is the one he trips over. He is currently somewhere north of you around Leonora. The only deal I have is with him to keep me updated with his co- ordinates weekly so if I don't hear from him I know where to send the authorities to start looking. Last year he was bitten by a snake and was crook for a while. Anyway Good to hear you have been seeing a lot of our beautiful outback I know it gets into your blood.

Cheers

Tony

Hi Mike,

Welcome to Jeep world! She looks like a good project to start off with, well done!

While i dont want to draw you away from MLU, might i suggest you spend some time checking out www.g503.com/forums, in particular the BRC MA GP prototypes forum- http://g503.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=9.

While parts are hard to find, there are a few guys reproducing parts as well as what i pick up from speaking to guys, a few sources of NOS parts floating around- there are some similarities with pre and war time cars/trucks, but not many (mostly mechanical).

They should be a great source of info on g503.com as well as the guys here on MLU.

Cheers,
Ian.

Hi Mike,
Great find. It might be worth an email to Richard Sanders in the near future as he was doing some nice repo parts for the GP. I am not sure what he has left in stock though;

Hi Mike - you did not read my post properly. I would like to see an image of the instruments.
