bought it with 69k on the clocks, std car with just a devil stainless cat back system it came with, added my plate onto it and a few smaller mods like springs and 4pots, within a year i used it on trackdays, only ever managed a few days due to being so unreliable!

Looks like it...the water collects under and around the seals in thos corners...I had some minor rust in the areas when I stripped my car for the re-spray.

i think thats a common thing,the opening rear quarters musnt seal properly,when i stripped my valver out they'd gone both sides

These willy 3's are crap arnt they? Have they all got the major rust problem inserted when they were built? 1 & 2 seem to be a much better choice or is it just me?

richy

yeah i think most later williams/16v must have been skimped on sealer!

my hybrid is a 1993 L and is almost fully rust free!
