I tried to get a multicar once, they wanted quite a bit more for the two cars together than each on their own

Aplan gave me the best insurance quote , using a broker called marcus dudley? which was the same that HIC reccomended but they wanted 98 pounds more.

 

Anyway now insurance is sorted, and mot is booked for next friday i need to get it finished.

 

fitted the screen without breaking or scratching anything. I much prefer the black filler strips.

I was a little worried about polishing through my paint job, so my friend mopped it with fine compound and its shined up, however it could benefit from a harsher mop sometime when i get chance.

Arches and seam trim fitted.

 

Spent the morning trying to get it running, had fuel (upto fuel rail) had spark etc and it turns out when i lent out my spare 5as, ecu and fobs i accidentally let out my actual 5as so it wont start because the 5as and ecu are no longer matched.

 

What are peoples opinions so far then?

What dish are you running ?

On a side note just ordered a pair of kit car mirrors and tempted by a longacre wide centre mirror.

All mot required electrickery is fully functioning(apart from full beam indicator).

I had to change to some later stalks which are the other way round too as my old ones were knackered.

If the car passes on Friday I might treat myself to a digidash to tidy up the interior.

Any ideas on the full beam indicator? Also the last two clocks don't light up.

No idea what happened here, computer decided to quote myself!

I would also like to big up Aplan modified car insurance, they seem decent to deal with i.e no waiting around on hold etc and they also charged a fair price for a 24 year old sinsuring a engine swapped, roll caged etc mini.

Obviously i have not had to use them in a claim or anything but so far it seems like a sound company.

 

Also happy to provide an aggreed evaluation, arrange break down cover etc.

 

Anyways i have 2 sleeps till MOT.
