Hello there!

Well, after long years thinking about this I finally got my FF ordering guide mailed to my house. I am pretty much set on ordering complete MK4 kit, but unsure about the engine/transmission/rear end parts.
I know people here mentioned some great engine/tran builders/suppliers. (I am looking for a new parts, not a donor) But, is there anybody I can buy from in Chicago area? I live in Chicago and would like to pick up the parts myself (don't mind to drive couple hours to get them)

The main reason for this post is to save on shipping charges.

Thanks,
Martin
