dont know about the conversion but surely uprated brakes and suspension may be an issue?

MGF. = Two metro front subframes, one at the front with no engine ( but still uses metro hubs & CV joints {with the inards removed} ) and one at
the back but with the steering elements replaced rigid.
Oh and the steering is electrically operated power assist around the column it's self.
hope this is useful
Enjoy. 76 days & counting

there you have it MGF disk/calliper upgrades, im sure there are plenty of different choices available, do the rover 100's still use that crappy
hydrospastic suspension?
