Havent been online in a while...been one of those weeks sadly ![]() Bought as so ![]() 16v with Williams engine, cammed, green cotton filter, exhaust and de-cat. Faults were leaky sunroof, gearbox gone and powersteering leak. so spend the weekend gutting her to fix her up. ![]() ![]() while apart i changed the box, She has a new clutch and new clutch cable new mount and new suspension. I found the engine mount in this condition ![]() ![]() the top half as you can see is very bent to...don't ya love torque ![]() Also the suspension i took of was cut on one side and not the other see how bad it is: ![]() so replaced with new ones only a small drop tho ![]() ![]() I put it all back together then, gave her a damn good clean and polish as she was standing for a long time as shes come out very well in my opinion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also added the williams stickers as they were included with the car for free ![]() Shes never been welded and the arches are very very good. ![]() ![]() Next on the list : - remove the small dent out of the drivers side rear arch - replace missing a passenger side quarter trim. - Refurb the wheels ![]() - Also ordered a new exhaust system as the tail pipe is set wayyyyyyyyyy to for back for me - Then its onto smaller jobs, detailing etc.lol Yes I know it’s not a ford ![]() |
