How Much Does it Cost to Restore a GPW?

This list shows cost of parts, rentals, sandblasting, machine shop charges, etc. incurred in restoring GPW 20577.

Keep in mind that GPW20577 was found in very complete condition.  Almost no important items were missing.  A jeep in less complete condition will cost proportionately more.
The list does not include numerous hours of driving, parts hunting, research, or my labor.
The prices are what I spent on the date indicated in US$ in the Northeast of the United States.  Adjust for inflation and location.  The Vendor identifyer is NOT an endorsement of any particular vendor, but it is included to show who had what at that time.   Since this vehicle was completed, Ron Fitzpatrick of g503.com has gone more deeply into the parts business and I will certainly obtain more parts from him on my next jeep!
