I've picked up a GPW...

Hi Warren,

Great find on the jeep! Please post more and more photo's of her. These original jeeps are the ones which, while they might have been through an army rebuild, can share so much to jeeps which are being rebuilt due to being in parts or rusted beyond repair.

If you can, please DON'T restore it. There are too many original jeeps like this that shouldn't, especially be restored which are, and as you well know, once restored, it can't be original again. It's great you got it running though!

While it has a little bit of rust (which it only seems to), if that's the worst thing, you are laughing! That rust on the side panel at the fuel tank could be easily fixed and reprinted to match the current paint/patina.

If you do want to restore it, please let me know as I would gladly buy it from you in its unrestored state to keep it that way.

Cheers,
Ian.
