Thought i would share what me and my mate Steve done last year will copy and paste bits over
Well where do i start i bought a williams 2 in august 2008 for £1450 it had 114k on the clock and had alot of service history and old mots. The body work was ok but far from mint the engine and all the dials and everything else worked as they should ran sweet. It was standard apart from the pipercross air filter and stainless cat back system.
Within a few months i changed the front bonnet rear boot both were dented for a good condition freshly painted ones, also changed the Cambelt, waterpump 2x front shock mount kits bushes, new front and rear discs and pads, 2x new rods and track rod ends, 2x new wishbones, the 4 anti roll bar bushes with all new clips, 2 x cv boots, new manifold gasket , spark plugs oil filter oil and fuel filter ,tracking, new power steering fluid and a brake bleed with new fluid just put it through an mot and it flew though.
couple off pictures of the 2 a few years ago
in september 2009 i had to take the car off the road and sorn it as i was buying a house and could not afford to run 2 cars at the time so this sat in the rear off my new house since then so over 3 years now
in around june this year i wanted to put the car on the road as i really missed it i knew it need work body wise but did not think it would be this bad the other side is all ok looks like it had been done in the past
i was really sad to see this as the car ran sweet and all the money on all the bits i changed just before i took off the road with gen Renault parts the engine still starts first time now. So at the time i thought should i spend money on this or buy another and change all the good new bits of this with another in better body condition.
So at that point i thought i might as well strip the car for parts and went on a hunt for a Williams 1.
In june/ july 2012 i went on a hunt for a Williams 1 i bought one of here from a member called Dunc in august 4 years after buying the 2 it was number 106 for £1300 with 115 k on the clock it had a bit off rust but nowhere as bad as mine just the sills under was solid
so as i had a lot of new bits on my 2 i decided to swap the newer better parts over to the 1.
