I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The Willys is jacked up and overhauled for the winter rest.
This season will be remembered as the year that I went the longest trip it was about 250 km. With an average of gas for 2,5 litre per 10 km.
For the next year I have order extra front lights and try to improve the petrol pump with new springs and even perhaps change the membrane also.

This summer I have driven the Willys for a longer trip.
It was to Jonkoping around 220 km total when I was home again.The average amount of gas was about 2,5 liter per 10 km.
The Willys got the body pinstriped.It was made by hand like the old times.Using a thin paintbrush of fine hair.
Look into the videoclips there you can see pinstriping!!

Hello all Willys-lovers.
I have just taken the first spring tour.
During the winter have I mounted a new filter for the gas.The gas gauge have I mounted in place again after a new tube and some reparing .After that refilled with red liquid.I have also put the electric wiper back after some remaking of the mounting screw and nut.
