Morning All - Veteran Pugist; I've had and have too many to - buying another one last weekend probably didn't help my addiction.
Always built my cars from standard - however I have just acquired my first pre-built modified car - a stage 2ish silver hdi estate; alot less hassle.
I am still in the (very) slow process of building another two hdi wagon's, a long term d-tub and a pink rallye that needs returning to the roads before dinosaur fuel gets banned.

Nice list of Pugs you've got - definitely get a project thread (or five!) up on the site - really interested to see all of your cars and hear about the plans for each.

Is the new one the one that was on facebook for 950 with the R70 pump? If it is then that looked really nice!

I'll sort some photo's for them.
Project threads would be very boring as I bounce between them all depending on which direction the winds blowing and which parts have arrived.
The silver one is Tigerstyles old one - i bought it off the lad who bought off him - I've forgotten his username.

Been busy repairing the silver one - infact just this morning I have just finished converting it to a four speed...
Good news the GFB d-force electronic boost controller is brillant at delivering everything the stock turbo has to give.
But be aware that if you set it up to give full boost on a hot august afternoon before it smokes then it will vaporise fifth gear at 60mph without breaking a sweat - lol.

It was an unexpected modification - but has improved the acceleration in "top" gear by a noticeable amount ;-)
