One Carb Or Two?

Don't be a girl Matt, have a crack at it yourself and I'll help.
Read the 16valve mini club forums and try and learn all you can from there.
I'm not as knowledgeable on doing conversions in Clubmans. Give me a day or 2 and I'll see if I can part with any knowledge.
But basically, get a written off rover 200 and work from there. You can probably use a metro subframe too but I'll get back to you on that one.

Converting a metro frame isnt hard if you can weld.

well thats where i hit the stops
ive never welded but i have a mig welder!!
if i convert a metro frame ive seen a few people do it but it sticks out to far and looks gash
but if it saves 750 + vat its a winner lol
so whats the best metro to get for the engine and whats the best to get for frame?
