1982 VW Mk1 Golf Project

Full steam ahead!

One thing that had been worrying me a bit was the cost of insuring this car once it was ready to go on the road. So I needed to find out if the project was even viable. I phone up HIC insurance
and asked them for a prospective quote for the following:

• 1.8 16valve engine
• 5 speed box
• 256mm front discs
• 30-50mm drop on performance suspension
• Half Cage
• Custom body work
• Respray
• Alloy Wheels
• Stainless Exhaust
• Retrimmed Interior
• Sound installation
• Full Closure CAT1 alarm
• Estimated value £3000

Based on it being my second car with 5k/yr mileage they came back with a Classic Car quote of £313 fully comp! Needless to say I am very happy with this, considering the amount of mods that are going to be put on. Also he said that mods would be covered like for like. Also if your a member of the GTI owners club (which I will be by then) you get a 10% discount.

So with that hurdle well and truely jumped, I can start buying the bits I need to get it done!
