    Rotten Willy

    My pride and joy willy 1 is really starting to hurt me.
    Took it to mates workshop this week for a new clutch because it had a nasty rattle when the pedal was depressed. He took sub frame off and got the gearbox out and rang me to tell me my front panel is rotten in several place all the way through. My clutch cover had also fell apart and started to eat my gearbox casing. Im really starting to lose the will to carry on with the project. :(
    On a plus note i managed to cut the front end off a 16v shell and claimed the bonnet for £35 quid which is a bargain.
