    You should have found that out 1st or be prepared to wait.

    18 is rather young for a valver IMO.

    No chance IMHO!

    Why do you need a 2l at 18?

    Cant you drive or something?

    Insurance will be quite hard for you too find, even once you do they will sting you in the **** for it.

    (2000+ all day long)

    Good luck my friend, however you really should have looked into it before you started the conversion (unless you have a pile of mooooolaaaaa).

    After trying alot of company's (including Sky) I found that HIC / FLUX where the best bet for me

    £700 for a 1.6 16v @ 20 years , 1 ncb

    When are you 19? Surely it's worth waiting until your birthday. A present to yourself perhaps.

    Fool.

    TBH, I can't think of any insurance companies that would touch you at that age on that car. Even Liverpool Victoria are a bit more conservative about conversions now as well.

    I'd say wait til you're 19 then go from there.
