    I think you should advertise the car now, and give the buyer the option of stock, mild or mad spec engine 😬👍 bespoke build with a sliding scale sale price depending on spec.
    You could build it stock, then a buyer comes along, saying, can I have it with 600hp and it’s got to come apart again.... #justsaying 👍😎

    Looks very similar to a TT issue Dean @ saving salvage is facing , in an ‘amplified’ edition I believe it is. Lack of compression on cyl2 eventually led him to strip it down and he the rings had sh1t themselves, disintegrated and left remnants in the sump/strainer/pick up along with bits of chewed up piston . The piston looks very much like yours. His cyl wall showed little by way of damage either. Is this a common issue in these then?

    Hi Ricky, Is there anything within the current jobs you are doing where you could make a deal with the owner so he get's an upgrade at a good price and you get a standard use block etc? If not go by what's cost effective which gives you what you require and quick turnaround on the car. Good luck with it and keep us informed of your progress.👍👍
