Mini Clubman 1275 GT

Build Diary

The Plan....
Sometime back in 2003 we (me and Lucy) wanted to get a Mini, but we decided early on that we wanted the engine to be a bit special. We kicked about the idea of a Metro Turbo conversion, and a 1420 'A' series, but eventually decided on a 16 Valve conversion.
What followed next was much internet research to decide what engine to put in. The choices are Honda V-Tec (Mmmmmm....) Vauxhall 2.0 16v or a Rover 'K' series. We have opted for the K, as it's cheaper than the rest!
This is a step-by-step diary of our voyage down the road of 16 valve Mini's......
