Stromba,

just wondering how long you have owned both 002 and 0200 for now?

also how much you bought both of them for?

and how much you have spent altogether on each of them?

I was thinking about it the other day and if you want to sell 0200 to a good home then let me know??? :wink:

Cheers

Danny

0002 is not for sale. Ive owned it for nearly two years. Havnt spent alot on it, just the usual services and coolant flush / oil chages. Oh and brand new alloys.

0200 i bought for 2000 pounds and my CRX in part ex about 18 months ago. It was a bit of a nail and had covered 121,000 miles. Ive had the engine fully rebuilt / refurbished. Ive replaced every suspension component (including new brakes / calipers / hoses). Its body work has been tidied up and ive had lots of other things replaced like altenator, radiator, heat shield, header tank, most screws and nuts and all engine mounts (including putting in the R19 extra gearbox mount). The manifold has been welded. I am systematically going round the car removing every single trace of rust / imperfection. The car has now covered 144,000 miles and IMO is as close to a new Williams as you will probably see, in terms of how it drives. All suspension compoments have covered less than 10,000 miles (most alot less) and the engine is on 2500 since the rebuild. I will probably replace the gearbox within the next 5,000 miles and continue to replace everything that is old / rusty.
