I am watching it, potential project, but I think it may be too much to take on for now.

I've also been watching it and been asking questions about it this week. Basically here is the main bad stuff:

1) The engine is probably knackered as it sounds like the camblet has snapped
2) The boot doesn't sit properly at one side - poss had a rear shunt in the past
3) The Williams stickers are in filled with blue (from what I can see anyway) so they may have been replaced at some point (maybe it's had work at the rear in the past?)
4) Holes cut in the door panels for speakers
5) Rear parcel shelf doesn't have the suit carrier
6) Drivers seat will need replacing
7) Dent in drivers door
8 ) Big hole in drivers side rear wheelarch.

Having said all that, depending on what it goes for I may still have a punt as I want a knackered Williams 1 to use as a reference to help me put mine back together, and this one seems pretty knackered to me :shock:

its a bit of a reck, i dont think it has a engine problem as he said it turns over and he told me there is no compression, if there was no compression it wouldent turn over?

i noticed the boot. it might have had the rear quarter changed at some point.

thanks for all your replies lads much appreciated.

No compression would make it turn over even easier :wink:

looks very dodgy! Ive had engines turn over and sound ok when the cam belt has snapped and bent all the valves!

the rust is pretty bad but fixable i guess.

good project for someone.

holes cut for speakers!!!!! Fail!!!! :roll:

the guy recons it turns over slow so if there was no compression at all it would turn over faster? or its seized?

well i got a willy 2 with a box problem so if i did have it i woulda eiher got it sorted or had it for spares for my willma.

hate the door cards!!

what you rekon its worth lads?
i wouldent wana pay more than 500 really 600 max?

thanks all

Yer it probably turns over slow because the belt has snapped and most of the valves are now shut (inlet not linked to the exhaust cam)

Either way you have to treat it as the engines fooked (worse case) anything less is a bonus!

Gotta be worth £600 I'd say. Still a Williams one and that rust don't look bad. As for the boot it looks the wrong colour... It could have been rusty and changed and lined up wrong?

As Flan says, assume engine ****ed and it needing bodywork, and probably a bunch of other stuff.

I have a lot of 'bunch of other stuff' here, and a spare engine ;)

#131 will be joining #46 very shortly. Another Williams comes North.

It won't be stripped and scrapped. It will be used to help me piece back together #46 and then restored. Although it may be a while before it gets to that stage.

I'd been in conversation with the seller all week about the car so I'm pleased that I got it but still pretty nervous about what I'm going to get based on the issues that I know the car has :shock:

Thanks Lee. I've also just seen your thread where you put your car up for sale a few months ago. It looks in pretty good condition to me! Stick at it, get that gearbox sorted and you'll be driving the best hot hatch ever made. 8)

A quick update for you...

This car is still with me and is now located in Lincolnshire. Unfortunately, I'm not going to get round to restoring this car so it will be up for sale in a few weeks when my other Williams in completed. A pic of how it currently looks after a quick clean today:
