Bill & Laura's MK4 build thread.

[wallace18]

I had the fortune of meeting Bill and Laura at a Bible study class last year at my church. We became friends and found out Bill had a interest in cars like I do. They had a big block Corvette years ago and Bill still had an itch for a sports car. One time when they were over our home for dinner, we showed them my MK4 under construction. I gave them a FFR catalog and DVD to take home with them. Well that is all it took, LOL. We soon got together for dinner at their home and made a plan for their MK4 build. Bill ordered the kit on the 50% sale on 4/22/16 from Courtnie. I am going to be involved in the build as well as Bill is going to work on it at my shop as well. I have enjoyed seeing the excitement on their faces of this build and the anticipation of getting everything. I am starting their build log and will document it as I do for all my builds here on the forum. Bill and I are going to go get the kit on July 23rd give or take a day. Also picking up an engine trans. combo from Mike Forte and some parts from Mike Everson as well. We are using lots of FFR forum vendors for the build as I try to do each time. All of them will be listed. I really appreciate their help and great parts that enhance the build IMO. Her are some details of the build.
