Hi everyone, I would like some advice please on this conversion.

Think I've got a million questions I want answered but I'll just go for the main ones.
I've read loads of threads on here about conversions and I definitely want to do the 1.6 16v from a corsa sport, had one of these years ago and I loved the reliability etc.
What will I need all together to make this work in my mini. Read up on the allspeed frame, but what shafts etc will I need to make this engine work in my car.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks

Phone allspeed. They will tell you.

you will either need to take the corsa drive shafts and yours to a machine shop to get them to make some for you or you can buy shafts off allspeed.

in terms of everything you need then.

frame,
engine and box,
wiring loom,
flip front and brace bars,
a decent set of brakes,
and a spare few hundred quid for issues on the way

Thanks holmesy. I'm going to ring them Monday to price everything up. Thanks again
