Just re-shell it for something to do if it's fucked.
You have everything there that you need.

I've heard these are better with twin 40's on instead of the turbo?

probably are. its not got a turbo yet anyway, so if the shell is sound, i'll get hold of another engine and put a twin weber on it 
turbo means more power though, much easier

My brothers 1293cc fast road spec Mini ran twin 40's for a bit, could never get them set up and running right.

Depends if it was uprated to accomodate the turbo or if it was a bolt on jobby.

its a 1 litre mini, with a metro turbo (1275) engine in it, minus the turbo
that means, all i need is the turbo, as the compression ratio is lower in the engine already, so i dont need to change anything
but the shell is a 998 mini, not that that makes a difference...

Thats a sweet buy rob I would personally get a turbo for it instead of getting twin 40's, but thats probably just me

3CM, yes, i am hoping thats all it needs, and im hoping the shell isnt rotten
but at that price, if i have to split it, ill make a profit
Eck, carbs are the second option if i cant find a turbo before Trax
