Jonni, cheers for the advice about the oil filters. We have plenty of sump sealant at work, fiat stuff and it's really good. I will check the o ring under the dizzy, it's not a major leak the box actually appeared to be dry, it was just the bottom of the subframe. The rear crank seal has been...

I have a bottle of ATE blue fluid from the cup when i changed that. Its had calipers serviced within the last couple of years, so i think they are all ok. I will price up some genuine discs for it, where is best for DS2500's?

New engine lurking the background i see:cool:

Yeah, thats what im thinking - renault stuff will be up to quality, especially since i can get the stuff at cost plus 10% anyway, so will probably work out as cheap as factor parts. Daz, whats a good brake combination for these? I am swaying towards Brembo Max Discs & maybe DS2500 or Mintex...

Yeah, i want it perfect mechanically, once its perfect mechanically, then i will look at a decat and new ecu etc.. I'm not sure whether to use genuine parts on this or good quality motor factor parts.. hmm..

After spending a while today pricing bits and pieces up, i am gob smacked, price of parts are stupidly cheap. I have ordered a set of front indicator units for £5 + vat each. The trims around the doors are £58.75 a side, which isn't too bad at all, about what i was expecting. A genuine rear...

Yeah will be a minter once i have waved my magic at her, tbh its not far off at all. Its all superficial things that need sorting out.

Ive not really properly driven it yet, been taking it quite easy, but there seems to be much more torque in each gear, it pulls in them all much stronger than the cup did. The engine revs in a completely different manner to the cup, there seems to be power throughout the rev range, rather than...

Yeah she is a Williams 1, the bloke i bought it off was on WC, but wasn't a active poster, i purchased it through PH. Its a stunning car, performance wise its not far off the Cup.

Here is my project for my new toy. She is Williams 0161, currently with 109000miles on the clock. The Williams is in superb condition, it has very little rust on the arches, it has a tad on the drain holes on the boot lid and a tiny bit on the front panel, but its nothing that is a major...

I sold my Cup last weekend, its a beautiful car and will be sadly missed. I have since bought Williams #161 at the weekend, and i have to say its a awesome little car, its had a hell of a lot of love in the past - its immaculate. They are the only pictures i have at the...

Lol- the passenger window has fallen out and the driver door lock doesn't work!!

I cant wait to see the GP either.. :)

Welcome Kris :)

Its vile, LOL!

I am... this is for literally a week at the most.

Sold the cup just now, i am gutted :( Its gone to a new owner on here, and i am VERY confident he is he correct owner. Its been a superb car and will be greatly missed by everyone around me. Onwards and Upwards OH HAI WILLIAMS

Sold the cup today :( Wow! What an introduction to MK1 ownership!

If I ever needed anything to confirm it, that's it. Thank you Fred :)

For the time being this will be staying very much standard - i don't think i could modify a classic. Valver maybe, Williams no :( I will get plenty of pictures up in due course :)

I haven't driven one but i have been passenger in a few - i imagine they will be a similiar experience to the cup, albeit much rawer with plenty of character. I'm gonna make the plunge - im gonna go buy it at the weekend - RESULT!

I won't blame you personally Daniel!

Thanks for you comments lads - between you lot, you've instilled enough confidence to go ahead and do it!

Jamie, Yeah ive been posting on WC. I would love a Williams 1, but there aren't many around in a good condition and they seem to hold a premium over others. Yeah, i am well aware of Mk1 problems with rear arches, the sills all look in one piece from the pictures i've seen too. Everything seems...

I know Whiteley and Grey are more than willing to come along with me too. They both know them inside out, which is a plus. Whilst i love the originality of the car, i will be changing the stereo for something a bit more.. iPhone friendly!

Hey Guys, It looks like i have now sold my Cup, after a very very emotional 15 months of ownership. I know i will regret selling her, but sometimes needs must. I am looking at buying a very very nice Williams 2 to replace her, maybe one of the nicest in the country. What are they like as a...

Thats sounds about right Olly!

Nah, i wasn't racing it at all! But yeah, that was me. I was probably only doing like 25mph - 30mph!

There is also an indoor place in Lincoln, so there are a few about. I think indoor would be better at this time of year. I will put a thread up sometime this week :)
