Just checked the insurance and its not too bad, might be on the look out for one, gonna have a check of the finances!

What does everyone think, convert the valver, which has been an ambition of mine for a while?

Or

Buy a Williams?

tbh m8 why go through the hassle again, you know this car and the bodywork is sweet etc, so best sticking with a platform you know IMO as you could be opening a can of worms with the Willy...

What TJ said. Plus willys are common and tacky.

I'd go down the conversion route TBH and save yourself a lot of cash.

I agree with 2 live. You sound like you want a willy so just go and get one, you know you'll regret it if you dont! :wink:

hybridise yours pal especially after the repray you've just had...you would need 5k for a willy that comes up to your standards!

if u have spent alot on yours then there no point swapping imo, why start again unless u really really want a williams

otherwise just go 2.0 litre/wide track route :)

I agree with you 2live and thats what i have been thinking, the plaque seems to be catching my attention even more, and they were only limited!

However martin and jebus are right too, as i have spent soo much and am going to have to do the same again to get a very good willy 1!

So bit of a dilema really and gonna have to work out how much it will cost to williams mine fully and how much to move on up!

bearing in mind its the engine/box suspension thats gunna be the main cost. think it cost martin bout a grand for susp. and ur lookin at same again for engine/box ecu....dependant......or sell ur valver for a couple grand an put the couple gand it would cost u for conversion..and u could have the real sunroofless thing.
