    New member, Bellevue, WA

    Hi all-

    I'm looking at starting a build probably two years out, but in the meantime, if there's anyone in the Bellevue/Eastside area that wouldn't mind letting me watch/help wrench from time to time, I'd be hugely appreciative.

    Hi Paul, welcome to the madness! I'm up in Kirkland/Juanita area building a Mk 4, Coyote, and 3-link. I'm not making fast progress, but have enough on the car to make for interesting conversation. You're welcome to come up any time.

    Are you thinking roadster? 33? If you're up in Vancouver Canada at any time, give us a shout - a buddy has a pristine roadster and I'm picking away at a 33...

    Ah, I forgot to say: Probably I'll build a roadster, unless I *really* like the new supercar.

    Hi All,

    I'm also relatively new to the forum, and also interested (like Paul), but in the Spokane, WA area. Anyone in the inland northwest building a MK4 that would be open to me watch, or help? I'd also be interested in checking out a Type 65 coupe build. I don't have a purchase date set yet for a complete kit, but enjoying the research phase and following along on several build threads.

    This looks like the one that showed up to the Avants dyno day this past weekend. Hard to tell since I only saw a video though.

    Building a Roadster in Issaquah, let me know if you want to come by. Might be 50% or so finished. Getting ready to install engine in the next week or so.

    Tony, you moved!

    In Issy, Mark II just needs paint, but I'm happy to share.
