1) I bought the book "The Complete WWII Jeep" this is a very usefull book but
there is not much info on the body (details) and frame of the MB 1942.
Where can i find schematics drawing,... to be able to rebuild the body myself
as original as possible?

2) In the Supply line of Feb97 there are ads on wiring kits.
What do I have to care for when I buy a wiring kit, are they good replicates of the original.
What's your experience about this?

3) Could someone give me some brand names for the motoroil and other oils
to be used in the MB, so I'll be able to find them or equivalents in Belgium.


4) After sand blasting what antirust paint is best to use (brand) on the body,frame
engine. Can I paint be used for all.
Sandblasting the engine is a bad idea.
What would be the best technique to clean the outside of the engine,transmission...?

As you can read I'm a novice concerning restoring MVs but as kid I always dreamed
to own a Willys and finaly I bought one.
I presume that everyone started the same hard way. But as I read in this list
there must be a lot of happy people owning a MV. Even if restoring,repairing
is necessary, there is hope that one day it will be back on the road.

So,let the past become future,

Happy owner of a MB'42
