A Willys CJ-3A Restored for Enjoying Afternoon Drives

This 1951 Willys CJ-3A kind of fell in my lap last year. I had not done a restoration before and a friend’s neighbor who was moving sold it to me. I spent the last year working on what I first thought was going to be more of a replace than restore. But to my surprise, the mechanical parts were in better shape than I thought – and with a lot of welding, the body came back to life as well. I kept everything stock, short of the steering column and the original L-134 putts along pretty well. All the work was done in my garage including the paint (anvil grey with Caterpillar yellow wheels) but relied on help from friends – and especially the resources like Kaiser Willys with the wealth of info on forums. We’re now enjoying the afternoon drives around the Pacific Northwest.
