Jeep Overhaul
Posted: 20 Mar 2010 14:26
With the help of a dedicated volunteer the process of bringing this classic military vehicle back to parade ground condition begins:
T'Shot

The fist phase of the clean up is to carefully remove & place the smaller parts & items into safe storage:
The battlefield veteran is then driven into the garage for the body work to receive a thorough clean:
After donning the necessary protective clothing, high pressure compressed air is used to blow away decades worth of dust & grime:
Then this old soldier is treated to a luxurious wash & brush up, using the latest in specialist cleaning products (Mild Green, Fairy Liquid):
Once the treatment to the body work is complete it's time to start on the small, yet vital, items such as instrumentation:
Meticulous attention is to detail is vital, with reference to original manuals & paper work helping to place the correct war time markings:
A steady hand is needed when such delicate work is required:
Moving onto the final stages of the overhaul now, all the loose fittings & kit that give a any Jeep its warrior type appeal are refurbished & placed in thier correct positions:
Once again this proud veteran can take it's place, rightfully, as a proud representative for the many other back garden warriors that sadly didn't survive:
All thanks to the mechanical genius of just one man:
Cheers & thanks for looking T'Shot
