Factory Five Crew Hard at Work After Winter Storm Hercules

[Mad Dog]

Kevin G. in welding is working on the Hot Rod fixed-jig this morning.

Winter Storm Hercules hit the New England area pretty hard Thursday night, but the roads are all clear now. We’ve got a couple of warmer days here in New England (highs in the low 50s today!), and the entire Factory Five team is back to work. Our tech crew is working on replying to all messages and e-mails from the weekend, while operations is building and packing kits to go out.

We’ve also got a full showroom of cars, so if you’re in the area, come on by for a tour this week!

Chris R. gives the snow plow a quick tune up after cleaning the parking lot of snow.

Thanks for posting these photos. Really cool to see the guys working behind the scenes that make this all possible. I don't have a kit yet but hope to order an mk4 sometime in 2014.

When can we expect to be able to visit and check out the 818 soft top?

I see 2 818R in the R&D room.
I wonder what the next project is.
Wing mount, 6 speed, different engine, sti suspension, hardtop?
