We have to go back to the beginning, when each of us a were looking to rebuild a jeep from a bunch of assorted jeep bits, not knowing what went where and even how to do up a bolt. As novice restorers, we didn't know one end of a Jeep from the other. Sean's book is aimed at the newcomer , but still, I picked up many tips and useful ideas from the book.

Is the book worth the money? For a novice WW2 jeep person, absolutely it is. I dearly wish I had a book like this when I first bought a MB Jeep. instead, I jumped into the deep without any basic knowledge and bumbled along making mistakes as I went.

I can name a few highly regarded Jeep owners , who have fitted Juan repro bodies .

P.S. Yes there a few errors but overall, there is a good of useful information in the book.
