When stripping and rebuilding it's not massively complex if you know what you are doing, just get a forged bottom end and as long as you are careful with the boost you can have a play around without worrying too much.
Just making it reliable is the hardest part

Saying that though, what makes a car reliable? It cant be un reliable till you know what areas are weak on the engine
And whats the issue in blowing a few motors to make one succesful one?

Well I'd take it easy and see where it can be improved, but if going all out then blowing it up is your way of the learning curve then why not

you never know the limit untill you push it. plenty of spares is the way forward.

Digging the pink cage mate & good to see some progress being made on her!
Any plans to have it ready for next year or are your plans for the other Pug taking up most the budget i suspect?!

Well i plan to have it running and driveable by this weekend
Engine, wiring loom and control units are in and fitted/seethed, so not much left to do tbh!
The pink is really dull in the pics, its a hell of a lot brighter in reality! But yes the other pug is taking my funding this year, air ride should be on its way in the coming weeks

Lucky guy having a garage at your disposal to get things done that quick! I've seen some of the older pics with pink the wheels so I can imagine it does look good, any plans for body colour yet or is that a surprise for now?
Looking forward to seeing that thing on bags though, least it'll make it a lot more practical for travelling to and from shows and save your arches from endless repairs

Im incredibly lucky on that front, just got to find somewhere to store the cars once there done, as all the local units are sold/rented
Im still not looking forward to didgging the filler out my arch! Going to be a mission and half to get them back into shape!
