If you do it yourself then about 200-300 all in including gearbox change. If its a good solid shell stick with it, as if you buy another VTS for that money whos to say its not going to be rotten

i converted my 1.1 to 16v for about £350. would have been less if i didn't get the 4-2-1 and lightened flywheel

Providing you can get a decent engine, or one thats proven to work..Then do it.

If not, then sack it off..Will spend the rest of its life in bits like mine.
In total its cost me 1600quid to finally get the power of a VTS.

..Because i sacked it off and bought a VTS instead. Much nicer :D
