Yup that'd be good, or military. What did your engine come out of? MiG 21, Red army surplus :smiley:


Ok so what is the slowest/ lowest insurance bracket ABf'd car? A SEAT I would assume. Toledo? Alhambra, did they have ABf's?

The Alhambra never got the ABF, older Toledo or Ibiza.

Insurance bracket will or should make little difference, a good engineers report stating the standard of conversion etc will help more.

FWIW in all the engine conversions I've done no insurance company has ever asked for an engineer's report.

Find the low insurance group car with the motor (not sure there is one for the ABF) and quote it when discussing the conversion with your insurer.

I just waiting for my box of 6in nails to be delivered before I start work on my engine conversion :smiley:

I'll try HIC or some such and give myself plenty of time to shop around before I commit to an insurance company. After conversion.

SEAT:
96-99 cordoba
96-99 ibiza
94-99 toledo

VW:
Golf 92-97
Passat 94-96

looks like it'll be the passat for the most boring car to base it from. whether it'll make a difference or not is another story!
