Default Hi all!!

Hi guy's! I need some advice from people with sense, right here goes.....Ive alway's wanted a Impreza turbo since been able to drive, so at 18 i bought a 2.0 Sport and made it into a Turbo rep. Now i finally have a WRX and thing's aint went to plan.
I bought a Blue 1995 WRX about 4 month's ago, i have a receipt for a engine change in 2006 for £1500 but it did need a bit of a touch up here and there, so i got it painted, all looking good... until the head gasket goes, just over £500 later it's up and running sweet as a nut, 2 weeks later a piston ring goes! What should i do? Rebuid the one thats in? Drop a recon/second hand engine in or cut my losse's and sell it? Thanks in advance Paul.

there are some uprated engines in the "for sale section ". bargain really ....just drop one of them in and you will be fine .
make sure you get a "reputable" place to do the work though !!
