    0385 For Sale

    Hi all, it’s been a while.
    The time has come to sell my car.
    Williams Clio No. 0385

    As some of you will be aware, it has been “restored” and there are posts on here
    with photos detailing some of the work done.

    This car has had a huge amount of work done to it both mechanically and body.

    I will be finishing detailing the inside in the next week or two as weather permits.

    The car has been owned from new by my brother in law who owned it till I agreed to
    take it of his hands and undertake the restoration.

    It has about 109000 miles on it.

    I think it may be better to pm me if you want more details but the car wants for very little.

    I am looking for £12k

    Would consider a px for a 7 type car. Dax, Caterham, Westy

    If you want to ring and chat, you can get me on 07787 517385

    The car will have a 12 month mot

    Thanks for looking,

    Lewis

    I was thinking of trying to upload some photos but don't seem to be able to get Photobucket to work.

    Any advice??

    Below is a response to an enquiry another forum member made about the scope of work.
    This was about 6 months ago. Since then the car has done 2 miles.

    The summary of work goes something like this:

    Mechanical components fitted to get it through Mot plus
    parts I wanted fitting just to bring it up to standard.
    In no particular order:
    Front & Rear calipers, discs, pads, hoses, brake pipes.
    New Catalytic converter
    Front top strut mountings
    Clutch and cable
    Alternator and starter motor
    Timing belt kit and water pump
    Engine core plugs
    Silicone hose set
    Oil cooler
    Battery
    Coolant Header Tank
    Reman power rack and power steer pipes
    Powerflex wishbone bushes
    Full engine service to include oil filter, fuel filter, air filter,
    Spark plugs,
    Oil pressure switch
    Fan belt

    Off the top of my head that covers most of the mechanicals.
    The file showing what was purchased and fitted is at work and I'm now at home and not due back till Friday.

    Body wise, again extensive.
    Inner and outer sills replaced.
    Rear arches were solid with no rust so were stripped and cleaned and made ready for a full respray.
    Drivers door had been crow barred so sourced another and was fitted.
    New Bonnet (genuine Renault)
    New headlights
    New fog lights
    New front indicator lenses
    New bonnet and light strips fitted
    New (Williams) sill cover stickers fitted (£80 each)
    Full respray
    New windscreen
    Engine and all front suspension removed to best repaint all engine bay and inner wings, bulk head etc
    Engine block acid etched and painted
    Gearbox same
    All transmission parts (driveshafts etc) stripped, painted and rebuilt.
    Same goes for all suspension parts including a full refurb of front subframe and powder coating
    Many components powder coated to include timing belt cover, plenum chamber, rocker cover plus more
    New Spark Plug Cover
    New Thatcham Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser fitted
    New Tyres
    New Bluetooth Head Unit (Pioneer I think)

    I think that's most of it but doubtless I've forgotten some stuff.

    I have quite a lot of photos and can probably make them available for you to look at via Photobucket.
    The car was supplied new to my brother in law as his company car. It was maintained regardless of cost. I believe it has full dealer service stamps up to around 60,000 or so from memory.
    Unfortunately, all receipts for work carried out in it's company owned years are probably still within that companies archives or more likely binned.
    After it was owned by the company, my bro-in law bought it from them and ran it as his own till around 2006 when he took it off the road for future plans. Never got round to them and rather than scrap it, I took it on. If I'd only known the work and cost I probably wouldn't have bothered.
    Having said that, it could of been done easier and cheaper but my OCD won't allow it 😉

    Hope that gives you a flavour.
    The only bit not lavished in attention and money is the interior. It's all there and pretty sound. Small tear in drivers seat. Odd carpet stain and slightly faded plastics on lower door cards.
    Has a superb 90's sound system with Focal Labs sub and 6 x9's and component fronts with separate amp.
    Sounds superb.

    Hi..you can use the uploader to put up pics...they need to be under 2 meg. Use the link below to explain.

    Regards Ian

    Cheers Ian, unfortunately I don’t see an option to select “basic uploader “ at the bottom of the Insert image window.

    Presumably links to Photobucket no longer work. ?.?

  7. #7
    Wankbucket disabled direct image linking quite some time ago... when you click on the image uploader basic uploader should be in the bottom right corner of the window that pops up...if it isn't try clicking on From Computer

    in the top left and maybe Choose File will appear.






    Regards Ian

    Managed to fettle body work a bit this weekend, though didn't get opportunity to detail interior.

    Few pics to encourage any interest.
    There are few out there as clean and well sorted as this car.

    A few pics in a suitable res for the uploader
