Hi everyone! New to forum 1959 CJ5, from Central Queensland in Australia!

Bought this Jeep a few weeks ago, from a farmer who was using it as a way to get around his property, and for hunting. I know NOTHING about cars, but am hoping to teach myself the basics! I work a lot, so very much going to use this as a means to decrease stress! It's currently in the shop, as I needed water pump replaced. Will post more photos and details once I get it back! Will definitely be asking for help and pointers, and enjoy what I have seen on the forum already.

Thanks JeepCJ5! Will post more pics soon, it's in the shop at the moment! Definitely going to get service manuals. Thanks!

Finally got her back

Got the beast back from the shop today, it was indeed a water pump as was suggested to me, and a few small leaks in radiator. Took her for a spin today, brakes are barely working.

Got some more pics at least. Going to do some research tonight!

Also have facebooked locally trying to get someone to give me a hand to look at brakes, maybe for a few beers I can get some one to teach me (I am a publican, so have access to beer!). As I said previously, I do not have a mechanical bone in my body ahaha.

Bit of rust in tool box, probably going to replace as I would like somewhere to put some things safely.
