    Hello from San Diego!

    Hello everybody!

    I have been working on my MK4 for almost two years now and have been quietly visiting this forum often for problem solving, inspiration and new ideas.

    Now about halfway done, I have implemented some very useful updates, fixes and pretty cool upgrades that I'm sure others may find useful, so now my plans are to share these to give back to this forum and members.

    Thanks and I look forward to "actively" participating!

    Saul S

    Welcome aboard, Roger. I, too, took quite a bit of time to get my roadster on the road. Whether it takes 6 month or 6 years, you will have a wealth of experiences to remember down the road. Looking back, I can tell you from my personal experience, it is more fun to drive one than build. Some would disagree. The diversity of the forum is what makes it so strong and helpful. Doing a build retrospectively has lots of value. When you have had time to think through the task, sometimes you give a better explanation than when you are right in the middle of the project (as long as it hasn't been too long ~ memory). Good luck in the rest of the journey. WEK.

    Welcome to the madness......

    We've got a MK-II and I've been going through "build withdrawal" for a few years now, so, if you want/need any help, let me know.
