  • I recently walked past the Pump House, a small museum at 10 South Access Road, Walthamstow. It is quite a sleepy, unassuming sort of a place, with a number of interesting vehicles on display in the yard - old buses, trucks, rolling stock and underground trains. They are quite proud that many of these items were actually build locally,... more

  • Longest journey so far in the jeep today. From home up to Dallas Autos in Newbury and back - 91 miles! Nice driving conditions, took the back roads through some great countryside including a couple of challenging gradients - jeep took all this in her stride, no problems whatsoever. Long way for a tin of paint and two half door fastner... more

  • Great show, reasonable weather, good crowd, good food and some wonderful cars – what more do you want! The jeep went up to Broadlands again this year for another great show outing. HPOM is great because all sorts of vehicles are there and the atmosphere is very relaxed. People appreciate the cars whether they’re Ferraris or Austin Allegros.... more

  • Having changed the cable positions to get them in the right order - see previous post on this - http://fredsjeep.blog.co.uk/2008/06/22/toolkit-update-aamp-dashboard-4347214 I decided that the repro choke cable and the old M201 hand throttle cable (which has a brown knob and is marked "starter") needed some looking at. I got an original choke... more

  • Before I set off on my hols for two weeks I just thought I'd post a few pics. Some are of the jeep out in the New Forest and the rest are my favourites from the Beltring show last month. I should be doing lots of other stuff on the jeep, but right now driving it about is much more fun! More photos at: http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/showgallery... more

  • Canvas and jeep just go so well together. I wondered for a while if I actually needed a windshield cover, after all how many times would I be driving it with the windshield folded down? - well after this, as many as possible! The cover came from Worthing Canvas at the Beltring show, well done to them, it's a great piece, fits great, looks great.... more

  • Whilst at the Beltring show I bought a nice repro grease gun bracket, the locking type for lever guns used on later jeeps. Have been waiting for one of these for a while to test my theory that the four welded up holes I found in the side of the hood were in fact for the grease gun bracket When the bracket was offered up, the welded up holes all... more

  • Thought I'd post spome pics of today's ride out to Bramshaw in the New Forest, very nice indeed. Met some of the New Forest ponies, Jeep was more scared of them than they were of her :D This is what getting the jeep mechanically sound is all about. more

  • Been busy grovelling under the jeep to fit in several more sets of nice new bond straps. I left these until last as they are in pretty inaccesible spots unless you garage has a pit or or a hydraulic lift - sadly I have neither. So that means schooching under, lying on your back and getting covered in crud whilst practising contorsionism - great... more

  • I'm doing OK for replacement gauges at the minute. Today I got an originl NOS (New Old Stock) oil pressure gauge. This came from the famouus auction site from a seller in France. Beautiful, brand new, marked lb/sq inch, made in USA by AC - not bad at all! So I took out the repro one and fitted it in. Sounds easy but it was a bit of pig to do.... more
