.... my clubman as seen here http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=170519.

but now with toyota starlet turbo conversion as seen here
http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=178397

but with a knackered engine. (engines are available for about 500 quid)

to convert back to a series will just need a new subframe ONLY, obviuosly an engine as well.

i havent decided to get rid of it, i just feel i may be done with minis, not sure yet.

not really after everyone trying to talk me out of it, or saying itll be worth ore running etc lol. just want honest opinions on what its worth thanks people.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

I'd say if you do end up selling. Get it all running first.

Sad to see mate. :(

it aint worth half as much as it would be running. I would say get it running one way or another, then decide what yu want to do.

Sorry you have had enough of it. I am going to be a cheeky bastard and ask where you got the small lights above your rear numberplate? I have been hunting around trying to get some.

Fair enough buddy. A well sorted 16 valve mini is around the 5 grand mark. I think the un-commonness of this conversion would be a merit. However having a duff engine in it people will play on that fact I’m sure.

4- 4 and a half perhaps providing the rest of the car is up to scratch. I don’t know your car but ill just assume because from the pictures it’s nice.

I doubt you'd make more than a couple of grand without a working engine to be honest, thats if you're lucky aswell me thinks!

Its not a sellers market at the moment.

Unfortunately, i agree with Rich.

I cant see anyone paying 4k for a car that doesnt work. even if it is "just" an engine swap.

to be honest i wasnt expecting anywhere near the 4k mark!

i was hoping itd be worth about the 2k mark with the knackered engine?

I would imagine it would get 1.5-2K in it's current condition which is fuck all to be honest. It's not even worth selling for that sort of money considering how much work had gone into it
