5 cans of paint/primer/anti-rust arrived today....that's darn fast!

Now, to remove all the rust and paint from the old toolbox lids on my jeep.

No, that probably means its been in customs for 7 days...

i.e. expect a Duty/VAT bill...

Yup, you'll be charged :(

And then the b******s have the nerve to charge you the "clearance fee" thats higher than the duty/VAT will be on an order of that cost :evil:

Not really an acquisition yet...currently in negotiation with a seller of a 1943-dated Willys MB. *keeps fingers crossed*

Looks like the boards back properly now! :)

So, I went to visit the Jeep Seller yesterday and gave it the once-over.
It's a Willys MB chassis with a French Maltournee rebuild tub, Hotchkiss windshield and bonnet. Some guages weren't working (like oil pressure :()
But it looked pretty solid, and ran nicely.
So I'm gonna call the guy later today and tell him I'm gonna buy it.

...now I gotta get rid of the Hotchpotch ;)

They look like rough out ww2 German ankle boots, you can dye them black & various things, think they all may have been brown,
