    Traveller's Mk4 Coyote IRS Build - Brake Reservoir

    I have been thinking / dreaming about doing a roadster for about 15 years. I even started the project way back then with a 302 rebuild and started acquiring donor parts. Alas, three kids and all the associated activities plus a hectic work schedule gave me very little free time, so the idea got shelved and the accumulated parts all got sold off. Now, as I approach my 50th birthday in a few months and with the last of my children headed off to college, its back on the front burner. So on 08/07/2019 I placed my order and was shocked to receive a completion date of 08/24/2019!

    As I was researching and developing my build plans, I connected with a few local people who very generously answered my questions, let me see their cars / builds, and even a few rides. Specifically, thank you to edwardb, msumners, and gumball for your time and input.

    The goal is a fairly classic looking roadster with a modern engine/trans and a great driving experience. While I am anxious to get on the road, I am not going to rush the build and hope to enjoy each step of the process. Here are some details:

    Mk4 Complete Kit
    * Powdercoat Chassis
    * Coyote/TKO Engine and Transmission Mounts
    * IRS
    * Body Cutouts
    * Vintage GPS Gauge Set
    * 18" Halibrand Wheels
    * Driver Side Chrome Roll Bar
    * Coyote Power Steering Kit and Rack
    * 13" IRS Rear Brake Kit
    * 2018 IRS 3.55 Center Section and Spindles

    Engine and Transmission - Ordered from Factory Five AT
    * Gen 2 Coyote
    * TKO-600 Transmission with .64 5th gear
    * Assembled and mounted on stand

    Headers and Sidepipes
    * Gas-N Stainless Headers
    * Gas-N Stainless Polished Sidepipes

    Other
    * Windwings
    * Sun Visors
    * Tangent Hidden Roll Bar Connector
    * Herb's Door Panels
    * Front Battery Mount
    * Kleiner Rear Quick Jack Mod
    * Drop Trunk

    Future Plans and Wish List
    * Automatic Turn Signal Cancel
    * Color: TBD. 1966 Ford Ivy Green?
    * Glove Box w/ VW keyed latch off ebay
    * Integrated/Hidden Garage Door Opener
    * Heated Seats

    Many more decisions to make along the way, but that is the starting point. I'll keep updating the above list as more decisions are made. I am looking forward to the build and will use this thread to document the project.
