    It's finally getting "real"

    So, I've been pretty quiet about my upcoming build, just reading, researching and planning. However, I placed my order for my MK4 kit in February and finally got the order confirmation call last week. As of yesterday, it just got "real". Here is what showed up as the first few pieces to the puzzle:

    2017 GT Performance Pack IRS assembly

    FR500 wheels 17x9 & 17x10.5

    I also received my shipping confirmation of the Wilwood Disc Brakes for the build!

    Seems like it. I just got an email from Stewart Transport that they are delayed 21 days. Not sure if this is a good thing or not for the current situation. I'm still shuffling cars around the garage trying to plan the build without having to play musical cars every weekend.
