Hello fellow inmates!

New to the forum. I finally pulled a plug on a MKIV kit. 41st birthday present and another dream come thru. Look forward to getting it delivered and starting to get more grey hairs as I start the build. I am probably going to document it as well. But not to compete with some of your beautifully done creations, but to see if I can make an average joe feel good. My build is going to be full of desperate struggle and fail )) But that is not the point here.

I am still on the fence about some of the available options - upgrade to stainless exhaust, or leave steal one for now. Get a pre-cut dash or order a nicely covered one... wheel sizes, engine options, diff or brakes... lots of choices. I think I am going for lightest options, with least creature comfort and chrome.

Anywho, I wanted to start this thread and ask some of you seasoned builders about what you regret - do's and don'ts. Perhaps an order of doing things. What would you have done different if you can go back in time?
