Think positive! Think how smart your engine is going to be when it's all rebuilt...
I think you'll need to take it steady though, I'm fairly certain that rings (just like bearings) need bedding-in, so you will have a run-in period. When my bottom end went, I was told to take it steady for 500 miles (just under 2 full tanks of fuel in a GTi6!)
You don't want to be doing all this again in autumn...
