    Smile Anyone in Morgan Hill or Gilroy?

    How’s it going everyone, I just wanted to see if there is any one in gilroy or Morgan hill that has a roadster. I’d love to just check it out and see how the build was. Let me know if that’s possible


    Thank you

    If you are ever in the Sacramento area I am about 20 mins east of Sac in the Loomis basin. More than welcome to come by and talk some shop. My car has been on the road now for two years.

    I'm in Sunnyvale myself! Kevin is actually in Morgan Hill but I don't think he checks the forums very often. I'll relay this thread to Kevin.

    Eden,
    I am in Morgan Hill. Finished MK4 about two years. You can welcome to stop by when available.
    I knew a guy also in Gilory with a very nice FFR MK4 as well.

    Also every 3rd Sunday morning at Hobby Lobby Morgan Hill had cars and coffee, you can also check out.

    Now that my car is finally on the road, I'd love to join. Unfortunately we have family coming into town this weekend. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the next one.

    I wanted to introduce myself here, I have not been on the forums much in the last few months. I am in South San Jose and am currently building a MK4 (slowly), I just took the panels in for powder coating today and the frame goes to be painted in just over a week.

    My brother and sister in law live in Eagle ridge Gilroy so I know that area as well. There is a local cobra club and some of us meet for breakfast on a saturday morning, I get there about once a month or so myself.

    I'm near you and just got my 289 USRRC painted. The other side of 129. If you want to see or ask questions I can try to help, but it was a go kart when I bought it.
