Gawd. My youngest brother has this POS as his daily driver. Moved back from Spokane a month or so ago..towed it behind a U-Haul....shredded the rotted top....has no brake lights, turn signals......wiring is a mess....no manual choke....no heater motor......so, took the TS unit apart, figured out which plugs (individual, no less) were fro the missing TS flasher,,,,,disassembled the switch, cleaned the melted plastic out and cleaned contacts, got brake......had to heat the rivet in the e-flasher switch and pull it back into place for contact.......fabricated a choke mount....checked the dwell, bumped the timing, adjusted the carb, fixed the power to the blower....and sent him away 4 hours later. Geez. I need a stick of dynamite for next time.
 
Jeepsters are totally cool. Have a friend that has several he restored. Won't part with any of them....

sounds British
 
I tell ya......inline fuses everywhere...factory, too....and NO fusebox whatsoever.....wires dangling.....typical Lucas Power Interruptus....now, if it had been a 20-year older Jeepster, that would have been something.
