Congrats man
You have acquired the two of the last few beauties in Mayapuri. Cheers to that cheers:
When do you expect them to be ready? I would love to see them getting restored. I have replied to your PM.
Where are you getting them registered and please share about the cost part of the restoration.

The first one is an army spec cj3b from 1986.produced by Mahidra under American licensing it was a rare find indeed. I am yet to come across an army disposed vehicle in such "good " condition.Any one with a little experience will know the condition of ex-army jeeps.so by good i don't mean scratch less......but still relatively unabused.almost rust free and practically dent less.
not quite the case with the other one though.a light blue civilian version previously used by the geological survey people.dating back to 1976 ,this jeep had the original jeep bits pressed into the grill tailgate etc.this one was a far cry from anything drivable. a complete wreck.virtually a bomb site on wheels it had gaping holes in the body.
both are completely genuine.both motors are petrol hurricane stock's.
after picking them up the mechanics immediately got to work.
im keeping them both stock.retaining the motors and the colors and keeping the military fittings on the army one. only have pictures of initial bodywork right now but will keep posting regularly.cheers...cheers:(btw soryy about the poor picture quality as i forgot my camera.will keep it handy on my next visit.) |
