williams £500

[Kevs_16valver]

I may be offered a williams for £500 but it has a snapped cam belt

What do you think

Doesnt snapped cam-belt = dead engine?

 

[Nick Read]

Might still be worth it if youve got the time and skill to rebuild the head. In fact Id say its almost definitely worth it. No more than £500 though and the car needs to be uncrashed as well.

Or the contacts to help u build it back up, where r u? Please post if u dont buy it. Thanx

Ive seen Williams with wrecked engines going for a lot more than £500.

Whats a willy motor cost these days? £500 for engine? £500 to have it fitted, £500 for car = £1500 for a willy

Bargain!

Provided the rest of the car is sound go for it!

You could have some work done on the head while its being repaired!

yep best thinkg u can do is modify the head. You might need some bottom end work though. I was speaking to Nick Hill when mine snapped and he said he wont repair it unless the bottom end is worked on too! Due to problems 6 months down the line!

my cam belt went and it cost 1200 including labour and a few extra parts like alternator so £1000 for a spanking motor with a class badge....

i know a bloke whos cambelt snapped on a new astra and it only cost him £500 to repair it. should have been £700 but i cant remember why he got it cheaper. id definitely say its worth it

buy it, you could even make money stripping it, if the car was too far gone in its own right. Hell dont worry about the head, put a 1.8 head on it, its the 2ltr bottom end that is hard to get
