Micky can you get classic car insurance now? I got it on my MK2 Golf and saved a fortune.

Looking good Micky. Arches look great now 👍
Didn't look so good in May
Did you get them done locally and would you recommend them ?

Yeah locally, Simon. I'd recommend them, couple of bits could have been done better though.

Tell you what though, come renewal time, I'll send you a PM, including my full mods list, and give you a chance to quote me.

All I got told was to wash it down underneath after winter, and re-underseal it.
The worst of it was caused by my car getting gritted and snow plowed up the side of it a couple of years ago, things are more stable at work now, so I've been able to get it sorted.
