The Fisher Family Project

M3 Roadster Built the Right Way!

The other day I got the nicest surprise! I received in the mail a printed, bound book from the fisher family that detailed and chronicled their Mk3 Factory Five build.

I met Steve and his wife Tiffany in Huntington Beach last year at the cruise-in. Then this past summer (2011) their entire family made the trek to Wareham and toured the factory.

Steve put together an amazing book of their family adventure beginning on the day they received their Mk3 Roadster on May 30, 2010 to the completed car, meeting John Force, travelling to racetracks, and also here to the factory all along the way.

What I love most about this story is that this family is very close and they built this car together and enjoy it as a family.

Family is what keeps our country great and seeing these bright young kids, with no fear and with excitement about building something with their own hands… That is just great! No video games, no Facebook… Steve teaches his kids by DOING and is a great example of a father. Tiffany is supportive wife and a great mom! These guys are a modern-day cool version of the Brady Bunch!

What a pleasure and an honor it was to have met Steve and his family, and how lucky we are to be able to share in their project!

Customer Charlie D. started his Coupe build in Spring 2018, and by the end of the year, he had his first start and was soon go-carting around the neighborhood. Over the next year, he worked on fitting the body. He had to hit pause on the build for several years due to focus on some other projects. But he kept his Coupe dream alive, and once the other projects were finished, he got back to work on his Factory Five. Over the next year, they focused on her treatments, and thankfully, she beat cancer in mid-2025 and has a clean… Read More »

February 17, 2026

At Factory Five, we build. We build cars, stories, friendships, and relationships. The story of Rusty and Wyatte S. building a Mk4 Roadster, and in the process, bonding as father and son is the best outcome. Here’s Rusty sharing their story so far: “After 26 years in the Coast Guard and spending my last few years away from home, I knew when I returned that I needed to reconnect with my son, Wyatte, in a meaningful way. I asked him if he wanted to restore an old car or build something like a Factory Five Roadster — and without hesitation, he… Read More »
