A Modded Jeep from Bahadurpura

chanu · 5th September 2010, 21:28

Here are few more updates of my Willie. Painting completed and has come up awesome, wiring work would be taken up from tomorrow, I am just counting days to get this jeep back home, its been three months he's been out.

chanu · 13th September 2010, 01:04

Now the jeep is complete 90% and due to come home this week due to the festivals the workers are off work and will resume from tuesday.

Pending works some more fittings, Number plates, wiper motor needs to be replaced as it malfunctioned, new tyres (unfortunately CEAT NDMS are not available), wheel alignment, balancing at the end Rubbing polish, touch up work that's it my Willie is ready for the show.

Bala, It's a nice jeep that you have there! What is the progress now? You had mentioned that you had been to Ramkote for the stencil work on the jeep. Please do post the latest pictures. Can't wait to see this machine out on the road!!

I spotted this Jeep in the lane adjacent to Karachi Bakery, Abids, Hyderabad. Looked to be in a good condition. Reminded me of a golf cart because of the top of the Jeep! Could not enquire about the owner as I was there with some guests and was in a hurry. Apologies for the poor photo as it was taken from my mobile.

I knew this jeep, it's driven by a old man. This jeep has a unique type of top which is local made (metal). It will not cover the entire jeep i.e., from the wind sheild to the rear but it is from the center and the wind sheild is dropped.

Yes he does fabricate new Cj5 body, infact he had done the same with an un usual size to fit a Mahindra Major chassis which is little lenthy than a origina Cj5 chassis and the body work is completed and now due for painting. Now a days MM540's are getting changed to Cj5 here and are fetching high prices which may go upto 5.5k which would include a Toyota Qualis engine, power break, power steering, bucket seating, alloy wheels etc.

cj5 scratch built body
mm540 body converted in cj5.

Though this jeep is desielised with PEUGOT engine which is again my fav engine along with original Willys 3 speed gear box with 4x4 setup. I wanted to have a PRACTICAL JEEP for my requirement as I use it 70-80 kms a day along with my other vehicles. Now the time has come to give her a new look. The dream of owning a Willys and restoring it is coming true.

Please do comment/feedback your opnion/views. I will be also posting more information every week and also with other updates on AMERICANS, High BONNETS and other Modded jeeps.

Thanks folks
Bala

Hello Chanu,

I know I am too late in the game, but I recently moved to Hyderabad not knowing that this is supposedly the Mecca for jeeps. Your jeep looks amazingly good and mainly the work.

Can you please share the contact of the mechanic since I am searching for one and would love to reach out to him.

My email is Kurade.govind@gmail.com in case you are not comfortable sharing the contact information on the portal.

Bala.
