Old but not forgotten......by willvan

Always a story. This is a 1952 Willys Jeep which our son bought when he was 14 or 15 years old. It was in pieces with many parts in cardboard boxes and the body literally falling apart. We hauled it home on a trailer. He set about restoring it, took over my garage for about two years and eventually got it finished and running. In due course he moved on (and out) to bigger and better things, family, grandchildren etc. That was 22 years ago and the poor old Willys has been marking time...not so well...behind our shed. Bill

I agree with Jo...I think your family is vested now. Maybe your son will take an interest again. I like how the front of the jeep is framed by fence, trunk, and tarp. Photo Bug

What a shame to let this labor of love get stuck behind a shed. Get it moving again Bill. If necessary find another enthusiast. Looks like there is more stuff in front of the Jeep waiting for spring cleanup. Nice shot but I am waiting for an action shot....

Cool story Bill! The shot deserve a b/w conversion IMHO. A dreamy filter could make it a sleeping beauty!
