How much is it? Who supplies it? Whats covered? Tools as well as kit?

I used MSM tel; 01279 870535.

It cost me £50 for £5000 worth of cover. It didn't cover tools but did cover the kit - except for accidental damage.

I used Adrian Flux, £80 inc accidental cover for 8k, £100 excess.

If you take out a years build insurance but complete the car in, say, 8 months can you convert the policy over to normal road insurance? Do they give a good rate or do you get stung as they've got your cash already?

Is the build insurance basically just for theft & fire cover?

I finished my car 2 months before the build up insurance finished and got £7 something off my road policy.

(2/12) x £50 = £8.33

So pretty good in my book.

I used Adrian Flux, £40 inc accidental cover for 4k, £100 excess

There seems to be a recurring theme here

How do they value what you have? I dont have recepts for the bulk of build. Only bits Ives bought.
