The dog feels right at home in the back already. Pity he wont be around by the time it is finished. :( It also shows the spare wagon grille and bonnet that was inside the cab that I didn't know about until I picked it up!

This is the tailgate I brought over from the US as well. I got one from there as it has the 'WO' stamped in the middle for the Willys Overland company. Should look good when I build a new rear bed for it.

I have even already bought the licence plates for the Hotrod once it is finished. This was as close as I could get to Willys and was surprised that I could even get these. The slim line will be for the front and the larger for the back. Here we can buy personalized plates and they are ours for life and can assign to any vehicle we own and swap them to another if we sell that vehicle. Can even sell the plates and they can then be used on the buyers vehicle once the paper work has been done.

Well the donor has just been bought! :) WH/WK 2008 Grand Cherokee with a 5.7 V8 HEMI. Just got to get it home now as was bought at auction 2000 km away.

Well I now have it home. So getting my very first look at it was exciting and worrying at the same time wondering just how bad the damage was. Turned out it was about what I expected so that is always a good thing.

So here it is next to my Jeep with the guard dog checking it out. Glad to find the Jeep Hemi engine cover in the back as well. Hope to use that in the Willys build.
