Finally bought a williams!

[Dean250]

Firstly I would like to say a massive thanks to Jamie Crookston and his brother for viewing this Williams 2 for me this evening, the car was local to him so he kindly offered.

A few details on the Vehicle

Williams 2 - 91,000 miles
Full folder of history including original order form
2 Elderly owners from new in the same family
Interior is perfect all original including sterio
Sills and underneath are solid, engine bay is very clean
panels look true and doesn't appear to have ever been painted

The car has been stored for the last 5 years so it needs maintenance to get it through an MOT
To do;

Rear Arches
Cracked front bumper - which is currently off the car since it was trailered
I will be changing all fluids, doing cambelt, water pump and any other requirments for the mot
Full respray, I will be stripping the bodywork down myself ready for the paintshop

it is an honest car that I think is worth saving


Here are some pictures - let me know your thoughts, the front bumper is removed so that guy could get it home

The hunt is over

Glad you bought it mate, because if you didn't I was

[Chris197F1]

Well done mate, enjoy it

[northy]

glad to see you have finally got one - so what price did you pay for this?

That arch is nice - i would budget for new inner, outer arch, rear bumper mounting, inner sill, and outer sill repairs looking at that.

[Dean250]

Thanks Guys. Northy I was going to put a post up to get some advice on the repairs, with regards to the sill what's the best method of replacing these? I didn't really want a rusty one but this seemed too good to turn down and worth saving. Paying £1300 for the car.

[talkingfish]

Budget around £1,200 for a decent arch & sill repair. This should cover both inner and outer. Pleased you have found a car... good luck with the resto....

Nice project! Looks good, 91k is low

[Dean250]

Yeah there is a plenty of plus points.

I was trying to find a really good one but I suppose this will be fresh once finished!

It's a shame about the rust really, replacing the sill will be a bit of pain, do people usually have them fabricated? or can they be bought? sorry for my inexperience just getting started!
