Hey guys. I'm applying for my full licence soon, and was looking at getting a car to work on and modify myself.
I'd love to get a Suzuki Jimny/Samurai and add big tires and lights and bull bars.
They have a 1.3 engine, and I'm pretty sure I can insure it as a commercial vehicle. Does anyone know roughly how much tax and insurance would cost?
I'll be 18 by the time I'll have my full licence.

Any help is much appriciated!
