Bill E. Graduates his Mk4 Roadster!
“This car is giving me such joy and fun!” – Bill E.
Congratulations to customer Bill from Woodway, TX on completing his Mk4 Roadster build, FFR #10717! Bill took delivery of his Mk4 in June 2023 with his first start and go-kart following in November of that year. The car was titled and registered in July 2024, and the paint and finishing touches we completed in August 2025.
“I have enjoyed the entire process,” write Bill on The Factory Five Forum. “It was a vision I had some 20 years ago. I can’t say how much I enjoyed building this. People sometimes ask me what would I do different. The answer is nothing. I had done so much prior planning and research that I knew exactly what I wanted. If the opportunity comes for me to do another one I will. This community of friends is such a benefit of building a Factory Five.”
Bill built his Mk4 Roadster with a 564 HP 427 SBF with Holley Sniper, TKX transmission, IRS, Wilwood brakes, 18″ Halibrand wheels, leather seats, carbon fiber dash, wind wings, sun visors, wipers, and truck gas strut kit. The paint was done by Jeff Kleiner using Painthouse TX’s “Blurple” with “Crystal Laurite Silver” stripes. He has already driven his Roadster for about 3,000 miles with many more miles to come.
