Background: I emigrated to Canada 10 years ago. I took most of my stuff with me but left a few things behind in the UK, in storage in the garage of my house, which has been rented out since then. Ive just sold the house and am back in the UK to clear out the garage and sort a few odds and ends out.

I have three Mini engines, nearly complete, that I need to get rid of in a hurry. Two SPi lumps, and an MPi. The MPi has no head and I think the diff is screwed. One SPi is missing a flywheel. The other has no head.

Any thoughts on what to do with them? I was pondering taking them to an engine builder and having them turn them into one decent motor and then shipping it to me in Canada (Id love an SC 7 port!), but Im running out of time to make it happen.

Seems a shame to ditch them as scrap metal.

Hey Iain, yeah I did receive it, but I already had someone lined up to collect. An old buddy is taking them off my hands.
