Weekend Warrior: Rebuilding a WWII Willys Jeep Mostly from eBay Parts
A car writer enlists his longtime engineer friend to help launch a Willys WWII Jeep build using mostly eBay-sourced parts. They pull and rebuild a reference engine, assemble a new motor, refresh the transmission, inspect axles, and navigate fitment hiccups, all while turning a garage project into a collaborative, high‑stakes restoration effort.
