Seriously this is not a dig, but just buy one rather than converting a base model!!! Higher spec models come with loads of extras too!!

I guess this is an insurance issue Karl.

Yes its wrong not to tell them of the change and yes it wont be insured if anything happens, but people do it.

<Just a guess by the way - sorry if its for legit reasons Dave>

Hi im based in Manchester. I would buy a xr2i but there all either to far to travel or there all rusty wrecks so fought I would buy a lower spec mk3 fiesta and have a project at the same time. No way my insurance will know about all the changes to my project. Thats another thing for something like a project who would be the best insurance broker?

Thanks

Dave

If you can't do it yourself then give the lads down at Mikeanics a call.

Not personally.

I use specialist rally insurers, but I imagine that finding insurance for a 1.6 fiesta shouldn't be too difficult if the log book says its a 1.6 too
