plans for the summer ?

[tadley parkie]

so the summer is on the way and i am very keen to get my williams 3 up together.
over the winter i have fitted goodrige braided brake lines and an omp strut brace.
So once the weather gets better i am going to have a crack at some body work, both rear arches and the bottoms of both doors and also gunna have a crack at refurbing my wheels hopefully in the right colour??, and i may also take the toyo t1rs off and buy a set of yokohama parada spec-2s?. And a good service should keep me going.
just wondering if anyone else has plans during the summer for your car ?

for this year im planning to change the turinis, for standard refurbed willy wheels, apart from the colour, new clutch, poss paddle one, remap to sort the omex management out, get the french car show out the way, and the some body work, with full repaint. so not to much.

My plans involve raping the shit out of it on track :twisted:

[tadley parkie]

what colour are your wheels going ? after all the paint has been done sounds like it will look awsome :D dont think i would like to attempt a clutch just yet maybe in time tho. OMEX! sounds like u have have some work done thn :)
i have never done a trak day personally but have heard its good fun!
ohh and i forgot to add in the leaking sunroof needs taking out and putting back in properly again second time iv done one ! any advice will be welcome.

He's a dirty great cheater cos he's got a turbo :P

Driving on track is immense fun, makes all the hassle & expense these cars put us through well worth it 8)
If you're available on the 19th March & can make it to Bedford Autodrome, there's going to be 6 ITB'd mk1's from this club and C16v out on track, pop down & see what all the fuss is about :wink:

[tadley parkie]

sounds like a good day out i might pop up for that its 102 miles away though but i will see if im working or not. cheers for the heads up though.

[robi1000]

To fit my ITB conversion, fit new bigger brakes, new suspension, new exhaust, new rear beam, weld front subframe, wheel refurb,...

A lot of work! :lol:

[Smokey McPot]

New Gearbox, new suspension.

Glad to hear that it's not just me that has got some work to do. My Williams 3 does have a sunroof it's is my understaning that all the 3s had one fitted from factory?
Those wheels look mint mate the lips on mine arnt the best im thinking of getting them diamond cut and polished during my refurb, think I'm gunna stick with the gold though.

End of April, remove subframe blast it and sort it out, replace all bushes and refit, while i'm at it replace wishbone bushes and anti roll bar ones as well.
In a bit of a dilemma to use standard bushes or go for powerflex ones, my cars a daily drive and i've been told its not such a good idea for a daily use your opinions ?

[tadley parkie]

i have poly arb bushes to fit and iv got the poly dog bone engine mount currently fitted makes a lot of difference but i have been told that the poly ones dont last as long as standard ones hovever i dont no how true that is anyones elses thoughts on this would be appreciated iv also changed wishbone bushes and they are an a** without a press but good luck

[FATBOY]

yes mate they are all fitted with sunroofs. i was going to fit a strut brace to my 3 but i was told it wouldnt be wise to fit it as i had a sunroof, what happens is the car doesnt flex as much and the roof ripples either side of the sunroof.... just a heads up 8)

[tadley parkie]

ok no mate will keep an eye on it thanks for the heads up though appreciate it

Good old rear arches and sills need attention on my Willy 3. Then MOT hope fully next month!! Then sort the oil leak, not sure where its coming from as its wet thru! A good steam off and investigation.
