1947 CJ2A: AKA "Bigdaddy's Jeep therapy sessions"
While I mulled this project over before purchasing, we came to refer to it as the "McDonalds Jeep on Craigslist", due to the mixture of Yellow, red and white patina which reminded us of our former lives when we used to frequent that restaurant.
As things progressed, that name evolved into a few different variations, "McJeep", "McWillys" and finally, "Mclovin" which is an homage to the "I'm lovin it" advertising campaign, as well as a character in one of my favorite movies.
So, McLovin' , it is.
This has since been vetoed...lol. My three daughters have attached themselves to the name Rose, short for "desert rose"

All rust spots, on the windshield, etc...are very much superficial. I've take 90% of them down to bare metal and sprayed them with a good coat of rustoleum.
Can anyone confirm that these fabrics are factory? They're in really good shape overall and are surprisingly comfortable. I also picked up a factory, matching middle seat insert. It effectively turns the front seat into a bench.
