Do I Sell The Willy???

**Illusion** · 05-02-2006, 22:51

Guys,

As some of you might know, i've had a few probs with the Willy and i've pretty much had enough. So i'm thinking now is time to sell.

Thing is, it's not the mintest car around....rust, suspension probs plus a few little things...i've spent thousands on the engine including a rebuild with GDI 2 years back and i've maintained it ever since. I've had her checked over and I can't afford to get her sorted properly. The car does drive, and foot down it drives well. But like I said it's not the mintest car around.

I still want a willy, so the question is do I sell her as she is and buy another one...?

Or strip her and sell the parts, buy a high mileage Willy 3 and change the engine over?

I've been thinking about this all weekend and i'm still stuck on what to do...so help me decide peeps. The only thing is, I want a Willy 3, but I don't really want a sun roof, hence why i'm a bit reluctant to sell this one as you might know mine doesn't have one...but something is still telling me to sell.

HEEEEELLLLLP!!!

Death penalty!

Touch decision. Still I'd try to fix it. Selling it and buying a Williams 3 will probably cost you a lot of money too.

Thing is, there are alot of problems with the car.

Evidence shows that the car was in an accident so I don't know even if the shell is twisted - subframe bent etc.

Rear axle seems out - the near side wheel is further in then the other, bumper is half hanging off. Also rust on axle.

Rust - or shall I say rott is on the arches, dents and stone chips on the doors and bonnets,

Drives side Wheel seems to be out wider than passenger side.

Don't you think it would be cheaper to find a higher mileage Willy and change my engine over?

I'll try and take some pics to show exactly what I mean.

Sounds more serious than I thought it would be. Better put her out of her misery then.

It really hurts to see it in this condition.

**Andyvalver** · 06-02-2006, 19:51

Its only a 3, strip it

*runs and hides lol*

You have the trade mark chip in the number plate same as me

:P

It must of been proper neglectade to get like that. My valver has rusty arches but there no way that bad and its done 150k! As for the bumber, stick it back on lol.

Id keep it and sort it out mate, or sell it to me for a few hundred

**malbon** · 06-02-2006, 20:20

wow. how did you get it that bad

id strip it for spares as there are better condition willys than that for around 1500. take the engine out and seek out a willy non runner with engine problem maybe. good luck anyhow.
