Thought it was too much of a shame to turn it into a race car and so have bought a Williams2 for that purpose and am restoring this one. I'm combining all the good bits for a road car on one and using all the modded bits plus other parts here and there for the race one.
That's a nice looking car - any of how it looks now???
funny you should ask..

I've found some rust on one of the inner wings tho - I need to start a project thread.

Restoration currently ongoing.
your very lucky to have a garage like that to work in!
Wish I had a garage that size to work in
Has taken me a few years to graduate to this one. Cost £150 a month incl. water, power & light, used to check the local paper every single day and got lucky. What do you think of this video on my site http://www.racecarbuild.co.uk/video/, getting ready to have some organisation in there for both road and race builds.
Ahhhh! Excellent!
So you joined us here at WC then finally!?
I was about to reply to your email about the gaskets and seals etc, but you may as well as here on the site in the mechanicals section as you'll get lots more options other than my own, limited, opinions!
I'll be watching the car closely, and there is a thread somewhere about a meet down south for us Hampshire/Surrey/Dorset bunch at a Breakfast Club meet dans le Goodwood!
I just watched the video, love it hehe! Very creative :D
I would love to see how the car looks now. Check out that pic with the front dismantled, awesome powersteering fluid buildup haha! I bet there is also a ton of dirt behind the front arches too? :D
Have you gotten rid of the carbon cannister and that ridiculous counterweight in the offside front arch yet?
You have. Very nice garage space there. Not much point doing up a rental space I suppose but that would look stunning with a bit of white paint on the walls and some flooring!Quote:

Never did turn this into a circuit car - thankfully. Bought a Trophy instead, made lots of changes to that over a few years and did some rallying. Sold that just a few weeks ago. The Williams is a better driving experience imo. I still have this Williams no.10, in a different garage now and my thoughts are focusing on a resto once again. She hasn't been taxed since 2007 iirc, stored away for 10 years being moved from pillar to post. Watch this space - time to start a project thread soon.
SOLD 21/9/19 to a collector in Windsor with plans for restoration and long term ownership.

Hope you pointed the new owner in our direction.

Number 10 has been fully recommissioned. First MOT in 14 years. Running and driving well again. Matching numbers and in very good all round order.
I used to see this actual car in the late 90's in Portsmouth whilst at Uni there.
@ballswing on Instagram for more (also have Nr 132 in my collection)
Regards, Paul
Welcome on Board...looks well in that pic...how about some more with a bit of info...current mileage etc.:)Quote:
