Chaps, finally finished everything I wanted to do to the Willy in preparation for Le Mans... Wheels, new bonnet, new exhaust, full service, decat, filter etc. etc. Just got the 1994 Williams F1 decals and wrap to sort out to get her already for the blast down to France.

On another note, as I can't help but impulsively buy stuff, Ive also bought a 106 Rallye S1 (with S2engine) as another restoration project. Firstly, I'll get it back to good health, then it will be stripped, caged etc. My Willy is precious and will NEVER be sold. I just wanted another little French hatch as a pure track project. Rude not to as I'm 5 minutes from Brands!

The 106 forum seems to be full of boy racers instead of enthusiasts, so if anybody has experience of these cars, any advice would be appreciated as to reccommended upgrades for track use.

Pics of both to follow!

Looks great mate!

Did you replace the fog lights? If so, where can I get me some of those yellow ones?!

Thanks chaps for the comments... I'll pull my finger out tonight and sort out a photo bucket account... Loads more pics to share!!

Willbee - I bought the fogs off Fab... I think he spent ages sourcing them from Italian eBay or similar. I'm sure you could grab a set on French eBay. Brand new Valeo units... Not sure you can buy them new over here anymore!

Sorry for the slow response as well... Been putting all my time and money in to the Rallye track car build. Now fully stripped. Bought some Group N engine mounts, close ratio box, rose jointed fear linkages and compbrake... Been a busy boy this weekend!!
