\"\"<\/a>I Had known about this 3DR Golf for a couple of years, I had seen it parked up near where I used to live and also found out more about it during a conversation with other local Dub enthusiasts. So when an acidental browsing of ebay found it up for sale I became interested and put in a bid….<\/p>\n

A few days later I was the owner ( proud or not… of the PUGWAGEN….<\/p>\n

I have still to give her an oficial name, I think she will be with us for a few years and has some character so deserves one. She needs quite a bit of tidying up realy as there is rust on every panel but shes generaly straight… So why the strange name…\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well this here is the reason… She’s fitted with the engine from a Peugot 405 MI16 ( alloy block ) which stock is good for 160BHP… Lop of the strangled exhauts, throw in a good filter and 5% sees 168BHPish…<\/p>\n

Unfortunatly the crank is supposed to be shot. I got a spare crank and a spare engine with the car.. Unfortunatly the sump was removed some time ago so I can’t even spin her over to check the conversion actual runs at all..<\/p>\n

So she needs a bit of work, ultimatly the outcome depends on how bad the sills are ( which primary inspection shows they are bad at the back.. )<\/p>\n

So that’s 3 projects and 2 daily headaches…<\/p>\n
