I've got a 2017 Q3 as the family bus and an 06 Fabia VRS that I bomb up and down the country in but in terms of driving enjoyment, has to be the old stuff for me.

Read your entire thread, love this thing

With regard to the Corollas, they both have to go. Unless I win the lottery 😁 I used to own one around 15 years ago and regretted selling that but I didn’t have a williams so soften the blow.

What really re-sparked my obsession with the Williams was when me, Dad and my two boys visited a garage called ‘Top 555 performance’ back in September of last year. They specialise in high end cars even super cars. They had a VIP event on that day and Out of all the Ferraris, Porsches and...

@timmy c I’ve had all sorts of cars over the years, mainly all jap though. I did have a 197 at one point and loved the thing to bits. I’m not really biased towards any genre though, just absolutely car mad. Never had the pleasure of driving a williams but from every single owner I’ve spoken...

Thanks for the help with my user name, has been hanged without me even needing to do anything which is both impressive and worrying 🤣 with regard to the rear trim, it doesn’t phase me, if I really need to I’ll get it scanned and reversed then 3D printed, I feel there’s a way to achieve...

This was hiding in the boot, so that’s one less thing to worry about.

Yeah I think i need to get hold of a solid one for all the little hard to find bits and bobs really. I’ve got an entire army camp at my disposal. I’m not on Facebook so May have to poach the wife’s account. Speaking of accounts, is there any way I can change my user name? Back when I created...

@Big_Steve_T thanks mate, i'll do that from now on. Wow, what an amazing help this is. Thanks very much that's great! If I don't get a donor car then i'll need both doors and potentially a boot. I like to think the bonnet can be saved but if not then i'll need one of those too. I'm...

Where did you get these from Steve?

Is it possible to get hold of subframes? I know they are from cup cars. I think mine is pure rust!

100% :)

I've got say, it seems really friendly on here which is pretty refreshing. Most of the Toyota forums have gone quiet and most people are charging silly money for parts, especially for starlets. I recently recommissioned a 1992 Starlet Gt turbo for a good friend and the parts situation was a real...

The second has the same bumper and wheels but with the WRC spoiler, and vented grill. It’s also stripped and caged and was going to be used for hill climb events.

Cheers, in my eyes the thing needs saving and then using. Can’t wait to get cracking but I need to collect some bits first and save up. Well I’ve actually got two corollas. Both are 1998 models. The first is fitted with a dealer fit WRC kit that was available through Toyota Team Europe to...

Plans for the car are for it to remain looking original inside and out but having been obsessed with original parts on previous projects I’m more about going for upgraded parts that can’t really be seen such as coilovers and brakes. The car also has a period scorpion exhaust which I don’t mind...

The following week I went to collect the car and had a transport company meet me there. The idea was for them to take it up to my Army camp in North Yorkshire where I’ve got a heated workshop to tuck it away in for now. Im under no illusions that the car needs a bare metal restoration. But, at...

Initially I walked away, I felt the price being asked was too much and I could barely afford the car as it was let alone the money it needs to restore it. As Steve mentioned on his thread, it kept ‘selling’ and then popping back up. And I kept boring my wife to death about the thing. It was...

Hi all. Well here we are at the beginning of what is probably going to be expensive, painful but fun. A bit of back ground on me. I have owned mostly Jap cars over the years and am a bit of a Toyota nut. But before I could drive and ever since the first time I saw a Williams I knew I had to...

Hi all, new on here and Just about to embark on a Williams 1 restoration. Ive come over from jap cars (mostly Toyota) and was just about to begin a Corolla WRC project when a phase 1 Williams came up for sale 3 miles from my house. looking forward to getting to know everyone and will probably...

Awesome stuff Steve, I’ll be following this! I bought the rusty phase 1, 2 weeks ago by the way 🤣🤣
