Temperature gauge was fitted by the last owner... I plan on a 1242 engine, roll cage and bucket seats
Btw this was purchased at the princely price of £200:slayer:I'm only 15 so theres plenty of time for improvement

I dont mean to burst any balloons here, but if it is going to be your car, for when you drive, I'd keep it simple, and just keep it clean, and running...
Insurance is the danger..... Yes a 1.2 engine+Roll cage would be nice, but A sporting is already pricey to insure...
Im 18 myself, and my first year with a 1.1 SX sei is £2500....i thought about an induction, that puts it up to £3100...
So be careful ! Unless you've got a plan
Peace out !

Dad will insure it... he's been in the trade for ages
You've got a plan

Do you mean that your dad will be the main driver on the policy but you will be the main driver and owner of the car but a named driver on the policy? If so, thats fronting and also illegal.

not quite because he will use it as regular as me... got studying to be doing too:yum:
nice looking sei, bargain at £200 ..yeah your best bet is to put yourself on as the main driver, then again your 15 no ? so is the car being used in between, you being old enough to insure/drive ?

Yes the car is used daily... it was tax and mot'd too
Ahh thats fair enough then, dont forget to check with your insurance if you will get any no claims at the end of the policy, some insurance companies dont give you any and other give you some but only if you re-insure with them as a main driver but then you could be charged loads more than you have to actually pay, so tbh when you have passed your test and can get insured best to get your own policy
Bargain ! How ?
Was the last owner blind ? Or was there a reason for the cheapness ?

It needs engine/gearbox mounts and something done on the front suspension and the guy needed to shift it as he had a new car
Ahhh, knew it could be too good to be true!
Engine mount, mine cost me £216, but probs get it for around £150 ? The rest i don't know much :')

You paid 216 quid for an engine mount?
Haha!
The car broke down one day, then it wouldn't turn over, 10mins later all fine. 100 yards later breaks down..
The engine was literally hanging on the wires and tubes...
Yes £216 was pricey, but it was the most convinent garage at the time, and easiest to access....
I also paid £407 for an MOT

And they had you by the short and curlies. You could probably have had one fabricated in Titanium while you waited and were attended to by 16 year old Thai masseuesses for that.............
