YO,
Any tips on what to do to get the kerb damage off the silver polished rim of one of my speedlines.

Are there specialists going to fill the affected area and then polish.

Do u have a williams yourself? If so u will know why. At least a 6,ooo miler will be tinkered with or have any nasty surprises, which seams to be the case with so may williams examples as people do not realise that to keep them in tip top shape requires commitment.

So is this car for sale or not? If it is and your not going to buy it, get the info up so i can consider a purchase.

Its not for me to give this persons personal info out without his permission, otherwise i'd be happy to. Anyhow if you only think its worth 5k then u'd be wasting his time.

eh!? that makes no sense, I mean think about it logically:

someone is SELLING a car, a Williams 2 in this case for 'X' amount. so how is it advertised, as you found out about it? how does one sell a car without advertising it, as people need to know its for sale before they can even think about buying it :?

also 5k is a little low maybe, BUT, it's a damn good starting point, as he'll find people are reluctant to part with £8k for a 10 year old car regardless of what it is.

i'm not trying to be a twat mate, but we all own Williams here, we all are fully aware of running costs etc, so I'm not really sure why you wont give the details out and didn't really understand what you meant further down regarding the 6'000 miles and being tinkered with.

How is he going to sell the car if he doesnt advertise his contact details?

Does this mythical car actually exist?

Will let u know how I get on. If I buy the car i'll post the pics on here.

Its nice to know that some willys in truly immaculate condition still exist , its just where to find them.

Are you going to pass on the information for the rest of us if you decide not to buy it?

If its been badly curbed i would get a test to see if the wheel has become mis shapen.

Apparently Proclean can refurb the silver rim without taking the tyre off the wheel, getting mine done before the FCS hopefully...

regarding the 6000 miler willy, could potentially have problems buying a 10 yr old car with so little miles, a car sat static in a garage for long periods does not do it any good, one of my mates bought a low miler 205 GTI which he paid a lot of money for and was stored by the previous owner, the problems he had was endless, seized brakes, hoses needed replacing etc.. hope I'm wrong mate, good luck with the purchase...
