So when an acidental browsing of ebay found it up for sale I became interested and put in a bid&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later I was the owner ( proud or not&#8230; of the PUGWAGEN&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8230; So why the strange name&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_Zj30URjpR3Y\/Sfyf2lguY7I\/AAAAAAAAACU\/0TKzKHzibn0\/s1600-h\/8142_11.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_Zj30URjpR3Y\/Sfyf2lguY7I\/AAAAAAAAACU\/0TKzKHzibn0\/s320\/8142_11.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331311819030946738\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well this here is the reason&#8230; She&#8217;s fitted with the engine from a Peugot 405 MI16 ( alloy block ) which stock is good for 160BHP&#8230; Lop of the strangled exhauts, throw in a good filter and 5% sees 168BHPish&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunatly the crank is supposed to be shot.

Unfortunatly the sump was removed some time ago so I can&#8217;t even spin her over to check the conversion actual runs at all..<\/p>\n<p>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<p>So that&#8217;s 3 projects and 2 daily headaches&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Rob<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=123"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257,"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123\/revisions\/257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=123"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twistedpear.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpost_folder&post=123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
