Standing for a year,Williams coming back on the road.

[Tucks]

....................Maybe anyhow!
Will see how it goes and keep you updated here.
Last time I drove DuF was home from FCS 08,dropping TomS off on route then Parking up on my driveway...and there shes sat as I had to switch to a diesel runaround for financial reasons at the time. But now im thinking somthing NEEDS to be done. So first things first im aiming for a fresh M.O.T,then take it from there. Love to do the restoration route,but one step at a time.
Never really been a minter/show car in my 5 years of ownership,more of a baddass lol.
Anyways:

Its getting grown in,time to do somthing.

Untouched since FCS ffs.

It will shine up,thats not going to be to much of a problem :S

OK in here.......seats feel mint after so long!

 

[TomS]

Total boost seeing Duf as a project thread!

Is the valver engine in there yet maaaaaate?

 

[Budgie]

Such a shame.

Bring it back, matey.

 

[Aluco]

I'm a little dissapointed, I'd have hoped for at least a sapling growing through the footwell after a year

 

[Beef-Mc]

Cut your grass or move that car

RT lump is on standby.


Changed the oil,charged the battery and started it over the weekend.

Next step-Mow the lawn I guess. Does genuinely look a bit like a scrap yard in the pics at our at the mo.

ftfhnl - for the f*cking hob nob loss

 

[TomS]

[Nafoff]

Its just not as funny when you do it mate. theres a art to it.


Il hold you to the mileage up claim mate. Its going back on the road. De-tuned.

 

[Tucks]

Testing the brakes on Private land-trying to shine them up. all seems to work at the mo. I have no tarmac'd up area though to build up speed though so Im limited to fields.

[Tucks]

I PMSL when I think of you grounding out there......then my mum rolling in behind you.

that was a comedy moment..but remember who helped you with the cows...

 

[Tucks]

 

[Ali]

Dread to think what the underside is like!!! It is still mega low!

 

[Tucks]

Il get under there when I get chance....your right mate,it could be scary. The ride height gave me constant exhaust issues.I grounded out quite a bit! It was blowing en route home from fcs last year so thats deffo somthing that will need looking at for the MOT.

 

[TomS]

Have the blue exhaust fumes been sorted now? following you back home was a nightmare last time.

 

[JR]

Love it. Duf back from the dead.

 

[Ali]

My old Williams failed on 18things! LOL 3 bits of A4!!

 

[Matteh]

 

[TomS]

lol great find matteh!!!!

 

[the_prophet]

flol

 

[Tucks]

PMSL @ 2 sides of a4 of faults on the MOT!
Il collapse if that happens.

 

[VeinAST]

Love Williams! Local one too!! Will be watching this closely

FFS if they reel off a script style reel of paper for DUF

It jams their printer

 

[Nafoff]

Love Williams! Local one too!! Will be watching this closely

if only you knew the history behind it...

 

[Tucks]

Love Williams! Local one too!! Will be watching this closely

Cheers mate,il keep updating this. Be great to get it up to a tidy standard again. Fingers crossed. :approve:

 

[Nafoff]

dude i am well busy at the mo but if you fancy a weekend working on it we could arrange something.

pop down for the weekend, the chicks could milk the cows and we could work over the willy

 

[TomS]

I'm in charge of the valeting.... no-one is worming in on that

 

[Tucks]

All sounds good. DuF restoration and valet meets ftw.
Past valleting by Sparks has proved it can shine up.

E-mailed off to longlife for some prices on exhaust fab,but will probably paste up for the first shot at the MOT,then maybe try and fabricate my own from all the parts I got lying around here.'wurzel' get your welding mask out.

 

[Tucks]

Been trying to shine the brakes up....so,got the battery charged up and headed off to a empty and flat field for DuFs first movement in 12ish months

 

[Tucks]

ffs @ appearing like some sort of hillbilly compared to the other project threads

 

[fUbAr]

awesome and pmsl at the same time.

remember driving DuF at the very first airfield meet, absolute leg-end! :approve:

 

[Nafoff]

i spun it at 100mph, i cr*pped my pants

you are the real wurzel...just a cornish version...pmsl at the pics

 

[jesus]

Nice Willy

 

[Jay Payne]

Yeah!!! The DuF

 

[ukaskew]

I can't believe this thread is happening, awesome news.

A bit of inspiration for you...

 

[TomS]

FFS I'm actually emotional here

 

[Kerryclio]

Cornwall FTW will be keeping an eye on this
