Friday Oct 6th marks the the next stage of my journey to be driving a roadster. Stewart Transport arrived in Parker Colorado (just SE of Denver) about 8am and we unloaded 29 boxes and the frame and body for MK4 9181.

  • Power steering
  • Front and rear stainless bumpers
  • Vintage FFR gauges
  • Gas'n Pipes and headers
  • Front and rear sway bars
  • Powder coated frame
  • Heater / defroster
  • Wipers
  • Breeze cockpit cubby
  • Russ Thompson Trunk drop
  • Tangents blind roll bar install kits
  • Seat heaters
  • Russ Thompson Gas peddle
  • Russ Thompson turn signal
  • Breeze Engine bay battery mount
  • Breeze radiator shroud
  • 52oz stainless radiator overflow
  • CNC reservoirs with bleeder cap



Engine is coming from Gordon Levy
It will be his stage 5 408 with fuel injection, we worked it all out and it will be turnkey ready to go paired to a tk600 5 speed.

Color is going to be Long Beach Blue (it is a BMW color) with white stripe

I will get the convertible top

This car will replace my 2010 Camaro and motorcycle. So it should see 8,000-10,000 miles a year. Not very likely I will autocross or race etc.

Still on the make a decision list
Hydraulic clutch
Cruise control – I use it on my Camaro all the time, keeps me out of trouble
Radio, yea I know

The summer was spent clearing out 18 years of raising four kids accumulation in the garage. Installing mo-better lighting, painting all the walls and ceiling, installing lots of shelving and putting in a flexible PVC tile garage flooring. I installed a Dannmar MX6 lift as my ceiling is only 9 feet. But that should ease the build a fair amount as well as maintenance down the road.

That about covers most everything. The journey begins
