    not retired teenage dream

    I am retired but myteenage dream is not. I plan to build a mk4 complete kit starting about a year from now. I also plan to attend the build school next spring.
    My build would include
    351 427 with TKO600 and IRS
    Wilwood upgrade
    probably some other upgrades yet to be determined
    It is great to be on this forum. I have been reading alot of threads the last few weeks.
