Might be a bit fiddly to insure as underwriters hate anything modified, sadly. It's a shame because the modding community usually comprises more considerate drivers than the factory stock spec car drivers.

Insurers in ICELAND may be more forgiving. But HDI is right - look into insurance first.

I'm not shure how the insurens are ower here but it is not listed as modded and I don't know if they look at the car first.

The engine will only be a 1600 but it is ok, I think I would need to put a new gearbox in it so it will be able to process all that power.

Hopefully in Iceland your insurance guys are half human. In the UK they're usually automatons and their role in life is to be unfair and expensive.

But when (and if) I get it I'm not shure what to do with it.

I had been thinking about painting it blue, black or red and get some airbrush on it, neons behind the grill and a new set of wheels. For the inside I was thinking about maby race front seet and a new cover for the back ones, new gages and paint some of the plastic to match the car. A steering wheel and a new radio or maby even something like a unicorn PHD.

Maby allso a new gearbox and a new bigger exhost?? sistem.

I'm not shure about it and I would like to hear some Ideas so I can find out how much it would cost

Have allso thinked about making it to a cind of rally stile

Is there anyone here that is an good airbrusher??
