The Keast Family Begin Their Mk4 Adventure
Posted on July 24th, 2012Earlier this month, James Keast came by Factory Five to pick-up his Mk4 Roadster complete kit with his father Dave and two of his kids, Justin and Allie. Like so many, it was a day James has been dreaming about for a long time and after some careful planning, he was finally able to make it a reality.

“We had a great conversation about the “adventure” my kids and I are embarking on,” wrote James. “After all these years and thousands of deliveries, Dave [Smith] was genuinely excited for us and perhaps a bit saddened that he was not going to be scraping knuckles with us!”

Congratulations to the Keast Family and we’re looking forward to progress updates during your build!




Have you gotten your free brochure & DVD? 
James and Family…good luck! I can not wait to begin mine someday as it is my dream as well! I visit the Factory Five site weekly and wait for the day I have a picture somewhere on here!
Thank you Matt. I am still grinning from ear to ear and already have the suspension, brakes and steering in!
James……you’re a nut. Just keep the mini van. They’re so much easier and more affordable.
My good friend Tony at our age we need to look beyond the practical! If you were not 3000 miles away you could be a nut with me!
