Projects Willys Aero/ First Build

Also, thanks everyone for sharing! It is cool seeing some other projects with similar goals!

 

Very cool project! Thanks for sharing! I will be following along.

 

At the moment most of the drive train fabrication is completed, and I got most of the car ***embled. As of right now I have a mini starter that should clear the steering, and a remote oil filter adapter to move it out the way. I also need to run brakes and finish getting the radiator fitted. And finally, I still need to get the clutch linkage figured out and wire everything.
I graduated college in May and am away for the summer, so unfortunately I wont be making any more progress for a while, but I am looking forward to getting back to it!
Rolled it out for the college show 5/4/2024

 

nice to see another one saved

Any movement on this project?

 

Back in about 1980, my friend and I got his dad's (54 I think) Willys Aero running and drove it around for a summer. It was a RHD 4-door with white over green paint, one of four known to be in NZ at the time. The car was in a local museum last I saw it but it wasn't there a few weeks ago.
