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

Check it out. The guy is asking $2500.00. Looks like he has more than
that in goodies.)

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.
