    Hello From Nor Cal

    Hello guys! Future FFR MK IV builder and owner here. I am planning on retiring from a 36 year career in the public sector at the end of this year. I have been dreaming of building my own FFR Cobra ever since I first saw one in a kit car mag many years ago. I look forward to prowling this site and learning as much as I can prior to placing my order.

    Welcome Rich. You will have a ball building your Mk4. This site has a bunch of folks who have lots of knowledge about the building of these beauties. I’m in the South Bay so please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

    Welcome Aboard!

    Get the the manual and read it a few times.
    After that determine your ability and finances before ordering your kit.
    In the meantime, enjoy these assembly videos.

    We should! I run a collision repair facility in Napa and have friends with shops in the Fairfield and Cordelia area...we should definitely put something together: "Built not Bought".

    Keep in touch, feel free to PM.

    Welcome Rich. I'm also in Livermore and just started building a type 65 in November. I'd be glad to help answer anything I can.
