Yes I jest about the special packages, but all of the companies I listed should offer you a good deal on more extreme modifications.

cheers

Bull bars would look mint, but I'd be careful about what you fit, as I believe there might be some regulations to height etc, mainly for the safetly of pedestrians in an accident. I've often wondered what a 360 would look like with some small bull bars on the front over the lights, wrapping round!

How about using PVC pipe?

Easy to connect the bits toggether accuratly, smooth look, light, cheap and you're less likely to kill anyone with 'em ;)

Hey Stuntman,

If you're going with the Bull Bars option (preferably from a truck :P ) then I really think you should turn this into a Vinyl for the bonnet...

HIC are good too. That's who I'll be going with next month when my current policy runs out. Plus they give you 3rd party cover on any car, which for young 'un like me is great!!

HIC are indeed good...if you can get them on the phone. Expect a wait of 30 mins+ :( Once nice feature is that they'll insure cars with engine swaps as if they were the donor car, not the donor car x10!

cheers

Excellent, I'm thinking dirty thoughts about the estates engine bay, the battery is already in the boot now, and I have loads of room for a, dare i say it, V8!!!

Everything on the old girl has been second hand and she is a low cost play thing so a Rover V8 and SD1 box may be the call of the day, or a small block chevy with LPG, I need to think some more about it. :twisted:
