As much as I tell meself another valver will do I want a willy so so much I know it ain't gonna happen.

Mint valvers go in the region of £1500-£2500 all depends if your looking in the right place at the right time but like my old valver I know its not going to be 100% straight out of the box and I'll have to do something to it/change a burnt seat/replace a slightly scatched door card/sort out a bubbling arch etc etc...

I'm a prefectionist even a slight swirl mark or tiny scatch would have to get sorted out so I know i'll be paying a visit to a bodyshop for something at some point (nowhere near Wrexham mind! :roll: )

so!....

Why can't I buy a basically sound williams that has a few rust/body issues and do the same thing?

Even if I paid over the odds for a mint willy I know I'd end up finding something thats needs touching up!

If I bought one thats sound and has a good interior I could resave while using it to get a full respray?

I know a few people have issues respraying a williams but at the end of the day there'd be alot more left on the road and not simply scrapped if other people did this..

I reckon I'd be paying decent ish valver for money for a poorly willy, then I'd have something to look forward while using it and getting other things put right.

Don't worry I'd do it properly this time if the repsray sounds too good to be true then i'll run a mile!

I could sell my silver willys to fund a standard refurb and the other bits and bobs from the valver towards the repsray and don't forget i've got all that brand new gear to put on - stickers, lights, indicators, fogs, boot strip etc..

the cars worth 2k all day

i do really like it tho ive never owned a clio drive so well. its kinda put my faith back in them.

its actually crossed my mind to keep it as its hardly gonna lose value and lileage is so low

Get a Williams. You'll be less tempted to spend a fortune modifying, it's a better car from standard so you won't need to anyway, and you'll get more back when you come to sell it. No brainer :D

Daz.

Buy a willy mate. There are always faults with cars, and imo any willy aint just worth 2k just coz its a willy!

He bought it for 1200 so imo its only worth 1300. People sell things cheap, and thats coz they need work done on them imo!

Good luck, 8)

come down stew and have a look and see if you can tell me whats wrong with it cause ive driven it 200 miles, checked oil, coolant, underneath etc etc etc and i still cant find anything wrong with it.

i know what you mean mate i keep expectin it to go bang any minute cause of how cheapp it was but sometimes people are just genuinely desperate to sell

if daz0rz doesnt wanna pay the money i want its cool, but he could do alot worse than this one. it wont bother me i'll get 2k+ in autotrader without a doubt within 5-7 days im very very very sure...

just cos people buy things cheap doesn't mean they have to sell the back on for only £100 more :?
It was bought for that price cos of no tax and m.o.t, that always devalues a car a lot for sale :roll:
