Long time planner, first time poster here in northern Virginia. I have been saving and planning for a long time. My "5-year plan" put me buying a roadster sometime next spring/fall, but I happened across the FF black Friday sale on the basic kit yesterady morning and after a quick consultation with the boss, she agreed we should pull the trigger. I know the sale was only for the first ten orders and I will be biting my nails until I receive the notification email that I was one of the first ten....If not, I may have to delay a bit longer... I also took advantage of the of the 25% parts sale to separately spec a bunch of the parts that I would have added to the kit. So if lady luck is in the house, I hopefully will be the new owner of:
Basic kit
holes cut/powder coated
upgraded front suspension (standard/fox width)
3-link in the rear
heater
RF wiring harness
front swaybar
FF gauges
351 headers
(+other stuff I'm sure I clicked but forgot because I was in a rush to order and have not received email confirmation)
Missing a few parts, but this should keep me busy for a bit until I can save up for more. Plan on hitting up Mr. Forte for a rear end and then looking for some ideas on a engine/tran combo (really leaning towards a 408/TKO600, but didn't see that as one of his offerings). Goal is a cruiser/autocross/HP driving schools that the wife and I can do (she used to love auto-crossing my 2001 cobra). Misc. mods are also starting to add up in my head that I will be tackling during the build.
Also, thanks in advance as I am sure that I will be bugging a bunch of you later for help and ideas, so I just wanted to introduce myself before I jump over to the roadster forum. Anyway, happy thanksgiving and hopefully Monday will bring good news.
