It's been hidden away in storage until about two months ago when my brother and I dragged it out of a chook shed. The following photos show my little bloke Oliver - a jeep fan like no other - helping to bring the old Willys back to the land of the living.

Nice looking vehicle, pretty good after being stored in the chook shed. Nice to see little Oliver getting an early start into our great hobby, Good to see more Desert coloured LRDG jeeps around, they certainly stand out from all those OD coloured jeeps.

Cheers

Thanks Little Joe - here are some photos of the jeep in a shed way down the back of a mate's property where it had been tarped up for about five years. It was all about space, or lack therof, and there were things hidden away all over the place until I finally managed to get a decent shed of my own. When my brother and i 'unwrapped' it in January, the jeep had suffered little to no deterioration at all. Once at its new home - changed the oil, cleaned up all the electrical connections, fresh water, battery fuel - and away it went! Stopping was another matter - I'm working on the brakes at the moment - but it's great to have it back...
