New kid (old person) The journey Begins MK IV 347 EFI
Good afternoon All!!
Well after lengthy review of the build blogs, I have pulled the trigger and ordered my MK IV kit. I got a call today that it will be available for pickup on March 23rd. Woohee!!

I see the Erie, Pa in one of your posts but also ad it to your signature. Somewhere along the line location really helps when answering questions. And welcome to a new life that will be a blast.

If you need windshield wipers in your state for registration purposes there is someone on the other forum who is selling a still in the box FFR windshield wiper kit for $250. That is half off.

To add your location and other things go to the top right and click 'Settings'. Now on the left margin under 'My Settings' click 'Edit Profile' and scroll down to 'Location'. Type in whatever you like. Some prefer to just list their state which is fine. See that you can also 'Edit Avatar' which allows you to include a picture like mine w/ the silver FFR w/ hardtop. And 'Edit Signature' like my car details. The details will come in real handy when we try to answer questions later on.
