    After a long three months it's finally here!

    My complete MKIV kit arrived this past Saturday and I finally have a few seconds to put up a few pics to make it official. Delivery was painless and uneventful, which is just how I like it. After delivery my wife (who is awesome ) helped me do the inventory which we finished at about 8pm.

    Sunday morning I was up bright and early just like Xmas morning and got right to work. I had a few helpers over and finished the front suspension with brakes. Today I removed the panels and began worked on getting them ready for powder coat. More pics coming in the near future....
