It doesn't look amazingly well done (the air filter through the bonnet being a giveaway that the owner ran out of "bothered" before it was finished) but a v8 jeep has to be a giggle.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

How ugly is that?! The grill always looks too big and what are those 4 links of chain supposed to be across it and white....nah! The jeep is nice but needs to be a bit more radical. Dropped front jacked rear etc.

More radical?!?!? Not sure if impressed with your direction, or a bit scared! You'd never be able to take anywhere near places where other MB's/GPW's congregate, they'd lynch you!

The whole reason for doing it! I am an MVT member and on the CoM so it's just a bit of fun. I do have have a '44 MB and a '42 GPW a '42 WC51 and a '44 Leyland Hippo 10 tonner and a '27 BSA 500 so I think can get away with it. :lol:
