Factory Five Customer Mathew M. Graduates FFR7203

Posted on January 30, 2013 by in What's New

Factory Five customer Matt M. from Garland, TX shared some photos of his Mk4 Roadster, which he completed in December 2012.

Matt bought a Factory Five Mk4 base kit, which was delivered in April 2010. Using a 1999 Ford Mustag SVT for a donor, he installed an independent rear suspension, heat and A/C, ABS, and used the ISIS wiring system.

The first start was on February 25, 2011 and the car was registered & on the road on November 22, 2011. Since then, the finishing touches have been done on the car and Matt has officially graduated his Roadster with about 5,000 miles on the odometer.

“It’s been a long road, but I finally feel like I can say I’m finished!” wrote Matt. “Although, we all know we are never really finished.”

Congratulations on a great build, Matt! Click here to view Matt’s graduation post on The Factory Five Forum.
