    New from Massachusetts

    Hello all, new guy here. Currently doing my research and planning for possibly buying a Mk4 roadster kit in a year or two. I've wanted to build one ever since I was a teen, and now it looks like i'll finally have the funds to go ahead with a project. I live about 1 hr from the factory, so i'll likely plan to pick the kit up in person since i'm so close.

    I'm a mech. engineer by trade and have been a Foxbody Mustang guy for the last 20 years or so. You name it, i've done it on a Fox. Brakes, suspension, H/C/I, interior, aftermarket ECU's and pretty good with the stock EFI system in general. Currently have a nicely done fox that I will be hanging onto, and a huge pile of hand-me down parts that would contribute nicely to a Mk4 build.

    Look forward to learning a few things

    Pretty sure I've seen some of your postings on the FB group. Very nice shop and nice work as well.

    Right now, the biggest questions I have are do I fit in a roadster ( 6'1" 220 lbs) and trying to get my ducks in a row in terms of what driveline I want to use and how to navigate the MA inspection process

    Welcome from a fellow engineer, and good thing you are researching the inspection process. It's nerve wracking yes, but if you read up and understand the process it's not that bad. I found the folks at DEP and the State Police inspector to be super helpful.
