Aside from that id say its pretty much a1 mechanically - ok its done 134k but as i said engine was profession reconditioned 7k ago so no big deal. I have receipts for EVERYTHING since i bought it - all parts are either specialist or genuine renault bits. Yes, my bank account has suffered....

gunner: recon came to about 2k by the time it was all refitted, run in and rechecked etc.

All, general concensus seems to be that i aint gonna get above 2k - if i had been able to then i would have considered selling but for the 1-1.5k id get i suppose id never be able to replace the same level of performance. Looks like ill need to stick with it for a while yet it seems - get some use out of the money thats gone in......

Many thanks for the opinions though!

 

[weight]

exactley, trust me for 2k theres nothing out there that will give u the same buzz

 

[Daz]

2k.. I would say.

Parkers dont know anything about the 16v/Williams..

 

[gunnergibson]

For the work and money youve put in, I dont think it makes a lot of difference whether you get £1500 or £2000 for it - theyre both not going to pay you back. You probably knew that you wouldnt get the money back when you fixed the car, so Id make the most of it now by keeping it.

If theres no other reason for selling then Id have the bodywork tidied up and look after the car. Itll make a good main car for many years to come.

gunner: being realistic i reckon id be about the 150/155 mark as the head isnt flowed (it should be with that chip though) and the zorst is standard apart from the de-cat. If i had this done itd be a tad over the 160 i think.

Did have a moment of madness yesterday tbh - guy at work has just bought 2 shiny new cars which got me thinking. However, got home and had a blast down to asda (scaring the sh1t out of my sister in the process) which has changed my mind again so looks like ill be keeping it....(again!)
