Well mine is virtually done - spare engine fitted & running at the weekend.

All I've got to do is an oil change & an MOT for the weekend!!!

I've just about finished a re-build of my Mi16 engine - few bits left waiting to arrive though

Engine to fit and all ancillaries and then run in..... Fingers crossed it'll be there on Saturday morning ready to go!
