Obviously it will a bit of the shine when it gets flattern down but i am buzzing at seeing it with the right colour as opposed to the primer colour.
Cant wait to get it back. :D :D :D

What he said - how much and where?!

Hope you're going to slap on a inch of waxoyl under those arches! lol

[spikey-ben]

Yeah believe me there is going to be alot of waxoyl going into this car ive baught 2 gallons already. As for cost i cant say yet because i dont know, Its a very good friend of mine doing it and ive been rewiring his workshop to bring the costs down. The work ive had done so far is:-
New front panel
Rear Arches both sides
Inner and outer sills
Floor repaired in a few places
New sound deadning throu-out the car
Full glass out respray of body.
Still to do:-
new radiator
new expansion tank
Samco hoses
Respray doors, bonnet, boot, spoiler, bumpers and wings.
New window screen
Refit interior
Stonechip and waxoyl
Fit a new williamsclio.co.uk sticker (most important job)
so ive still got a fair bit of work just yet. If anyone is intreseted in have similar work done i can recommend my friend as being a true craftsman and is very good at what he does. Workshop is in Nr Spalding, Lincolnshie.

yeah its a 944 turbo, Its in a abit of a mess at the moment as he's spending alot of time getting my car right. I will be pleased to get it back as its my only car and driving my work van doesnt really give the same buzz i get from driving the willy. Saying that though ive never had a car that has matched or been better than the feel you get in the williams.
Cant wait till the french car and seeing everyone again and hopefully it will look as good as talkingfish'es willy 1. Seeing his motor there really focused me on getting my one sorted out.
