Hello Baios,

A nice project vehicle. Wish mine had been as complete. :wink:

I have found that most of the US vendors will ship to Europe. Try the ones on this site's weblinks:

Other than Jeeparts UK, I don't have any experience with the above vendors. I'm sure there's may more out there, and don't forget that a lot of parts get listed on Ebay too!

Good luck with your project.......

Wbr,
Owen.

Another great web site for help in a jeep restoration is www.G503.com. Some of the same moderators here work that site also.

Greek parts source

Post by swat »

There is a guy in Athens Greece thaqt advertises M38 parts on EBAY all the time. His EBAY identification is jeep572011. He sells lots of NOS parts. Looks like you have a very complete project jeep.

Looking at the photo of the engine block and cylinders, I was surprised you were able to salvage the block, as number two cylinder looked like it was too bad to bore out.
