Yeah i'm not keen on the b;ack boot, i suppose it's one of those euro fashions!
Looks quite nice though, And i'd be left with change but i was wondering if it would be enough change for that sort of conversion!

why? I thought the insurance was done on the group of the donor cars engine. Like a c20let corsa would be a calibra / cav turbo??
So theoretically it wouldn't cost more to insure than my ibiza?
What is involved JR? Why would it cost so much?

I found in my experience it wasn't anything like that at all. Is cheaper to insure something like an Audi S3 than it is to insure a valver Corsa

because its more witing than you can imagine, and also your need stuff like the dash cluster from, the 1.8t, as well as the reader coils, and have you ever seen a golf loom, it massive, wiring it in will be a cunt

donor car will always be cheaper to insure, if i drop cossy engine into my pug it would cost a lot more than just insuring a cossy
