Plates - Knew that but they turn a blind eye
Emissions - decat same as above.

Welding bits tomo. Was wantin to take it up to aberdeen for the next month, but looks as though i'll have to wait...Haven't driven it since november!!

 

[Daz]

Yea, they're shite - always going bang, or doing something wrong.
I do love mine tho, haha.

I for one could not be arsed with alll that caper. I'd just chuck the s**t in the bin and find something else.

One thing you never hear people talk about when mentioning the Williams is that sampling it's greatness is not without cost!!!

They're about as reliable as a chocolate fireguard and rust quicker than a ford cortina!!

Bit of a hijack but can you fail MOT on cracked fog light lenses?

Cheers...guarentee it's the nicest visual williams about! I spent 3 days on it with a PC, no swirls at all! Polished lip on the rims is amazing, it's like a mirror! Just gutting...

To top it off the throttle cable jam'd on earlier!! Scared the s**t out of me!

Chris - hope so son, had it since sept, done 420miles in it and it's done 420miles on the bak of a recovery lorry!

When it's done i'll be posting loads of pics! Cant wait!! got uni stuff on at the mo, so won't be for another 6wks.

We did all the bodywork repairs, new arches etc.

 

[bill]

cool, look forwards to some nice pics

 

[Ali]

You and me both!

 

[Rich]

Gutting on the rot, not something you noticed when doing the other bits?

 

[Ali]

^Rich...No mate i've neva had the car on the ramp before...in all honesty bodywork isn't my forte. But i'm glad in a way, i'd rather it was safe!.

 

[Martin_172]

ahh thats cars for you, in the last 4 months ive spent 4x what i payed for my car in parts, and thats with £0 labour costs! its had and engine, gearbox, bushes, bearings, exhaust, brakes & suspension along with 4 tyres to name a few!

 

[2 live]

unlucky mate......but i did try to warn you.....dont buy the first one u look at, and make sure its as good as it looks. bodywork on these cars is main priority, mech side of things can be sorted quite easily .


luckily, iv had no bodywork problems on 0159, but it wont be long before its started to show its ugly head somewhere, but if it does get done, and its done right...alls not too bad.


0051 however is a diff story...had arches done, found a few spots while strippin all the sound deadening out that need a couple plates, sills are alrite tho for now.

but having said that...i wouldnt swap em for any other member of the reno range atm. they just scream.........drive me........drive me flat out

 

[Andy]

Couldn't honestly believe the noise this car makes, Ali. Hope you manage to get it all sorted out and get a chance to stretch its legs in the spring.
