    New from VA

    Hello all,

    I'm in Dahlgren VA, (60 miles south of Washington, DC), and currently considering taking on a Mk4 build project. I look forward to the opportunity to chat with (perhaps meet) other builders in the area!

    All -- thanks for the welcome, and very much appreciate the offers to check-out projects-in-progress. I'm currently working on building the garage/workshop that will be used for my project car (amongst other things), and can't help but to already start looking at car kits and options. So many choices....so little time!

    I see occasional gatherings of builders/owners in other areas -- anything of the sort occur in the VA area?

    Thanks again,
    ~Mark
