New kid (old person) The journey Begins MK IV 347 EFI

[craig6990]

Good afternoon All!!
Well after lengthy review of the build blogs, I have pulled the trigger and ordered my MK IV kit. I got a call today that it will be available for pickup on March 23rd. Woohee!! Can’t wait to get started! I attended the build school earlier this year (January) and it gave me enough confidence to build the car! I have no experience in “wrenching” but are pretty good at following directions. I will look to the Factory Five Forum for much needed direction, that I am sure I will need!!

Welcome to the build journey. Building a car was a leap for me too, you'll be surprised how much you'll learn. Have fun!

[D Stand]

Welcome to the club. You are in for a blast!

Welcome! Enjoy the build, just be carful hanging around here, we love to spend your money.

[Tbev]

Congratulations and welcome. You said you are picking it up. Are you from MA or a surrounding state?

[craig6990]

As you can see with my Breese order you have already spent some of my money!!

Thank You!!

[CraigS]

I see the Erie, Pa in one of your posts but also ad it to your signature. Somewhere along the line location really helps when answering questions. And welcome to a new life that will be a blast.

If you need windshield wipers in your state for registration purposes there is someone on the other forum who is selling a still in the box FFR windshield wiper kit for $250. That is half off.

Not sure how to do that. I might be having a senior moment!

To add your location and other things go to the top right and click 'Settings'. Now on the left margin under 'My Settings' click 'Edit Profile' and scroll down to 'Location'. Type in whatever you like. Some prefer to just list their state which is fine. See that you can also 'Edit Avatar' which allows you to include a picture like mine w/ the silver FFR w/ hardtop. And 'Edit Signature' like my car details. The details will come in real handy when we try to answer questions later on.

Thank you!
I need to get my privileges increased. How do I do that??
Craig

[phileas_fogg]

Just keep posting. I think you can do all the things Craig suggests with 10-20 posts under your belt.
