does anybody know the price for a complete conversion
and by complete i mean absolutely everything including getting it rolling roaded and how many hours labour it would be
considering i dont have access to a ramp.

You cant give a set price mate, as it all depends on what you want, how cheap you can get bits and what you can do your self.

The Miglia racer Bill Sollis has often said in his Minifilms DVD track tests, that the Watsons Vtec Mini's lose much of the Mini steering/handling feel due to the use of the Metro subframe and front suspension components.

IIRC he also said that one of the Watsons framed Vtecs would be his choice for the drive home. Just 'because it feels different does not make it worse
