Is the boot ok? I have an old one at my inlaws. Not sure if it's monaco or Williams. I think it's Williams blue, however it doesn't have any Williams decals on it (Mat what colour does it sound like?) - if it's Williams and yours is hammered you can, sort of have it.

I'll have to take a look at it when I go back to N.Wales which could be sometime soon.

Can you tell from pics what colour it is?

LEIGH-ANNE
28-12-2009, 23:20

Well, I'll take some pics. Worst comes to the worst I'll see if I can bring it back to Chester and then bring it to French car show or something next year. I don't have any dry storage at my house as our spare room already has:

182 exhaust
182 manifold
172 exhaust
182/172 cat
parcel shelf
various interior parts
Pressure washer

+ a bed and stuff in the corner ;)

I'll get those pics first.

Someone who can prep the car in such a way as to prevent the return of rust, run of the mill bodyshops dont seem to be able to this as well as a proper restorer

This car seems to pull well, having followed it for 50 odd miles on the way home :)

Strip the rear seats and all the other crap Leighanne, get the sills and arches sorted and odd matching paintwork and hopefully job done on that front.

Re-seat the rear bumper as it's not sat perfectly.

Get the alloys sorted like mine and it'll look mint. Get some proper rubber on there for track days too!

I guess you'll be wanting some trackday suspension and pads next :D

If your this bad when NOT drunk then I think we are going to have to put you in restraints if we all go out for a piss up in town haha...oh wait, you'd probably enjoy that lol.

Need a few black bits spraying huh? Hmm, well I may be able to get the old paints out again. Need a couple of bits doing myself.

usual places needing attention - whats it like under the front windscreen / skuttle panel?


Looks some tasty rust there L - have fun 8)

Nah, seriously, it's good to see a Willy 1 saved - if you know lots of peeps in the trade you should be able to get it back up to a good standard without too much financial damage.... when's your target for getting the work done - FCS ????

I don't think it will cost that much. You simply budget for the bodywork and then sort all the other stuff later, which you can do at your leisure as it's a second car and a project. Plus you have friends who can help, which should lower the cost.

I've got to bite the bullet soon and have both arches done and sills and some minor dents. I don't mind as it's part of Williams ownership.

If it is going to be a trackcar, just make sure all of the major components are as good as they can be or else it will go wrong...still it's a good way to stress test a car and find out what is going to go bang. I was quite happy when my engine went bang at Brands as it confirmed my suspicions about it. All happy now though!

What process you having done with the arches mate?

Wobba
31-12-2009, 15:11

It would have been far worse without the use of your garage and loads of help ripping it to bits and driving about with engines in the back!!!

I was relatively happy :D

As for what I am having done, at this stage I have no idea. One side isn't bad, and the other isn't too bad yet either, but I want them to cut out the sills and completely refresh the arches and sills and ensure they will be rust free for years to come by treating them and sealing them from any further water damage.

It will probably involve using poverty-spec arches and having them flared OR if Northy can get a match up, use proper ones.
