Back to the Grind After Winter Open House

Photos from Around FFR

The dust has settled after our big Winter Open House and the crew is getting back to work. It’s fun seeing the parts start rolling in now for the Anniversary Cars and the Gen 2 Coupe as well. Here are some photos from production.

We had a newly painted Mk4 at the Winter Open House. Don’t tell any one, but it was painted Rosa Corsa (world’s collide on this one)!


The Anniversary Edition rear ends arrived powder coated in a special silver and etched with the Anniversary logo.


The first of the Anniversary Edition frames came back from the powder coaters.


Here’s a brand new Coupe nose just out of the new molds!


Gen 2 Type 65 Coupes are going together. I believe this is the second or third chassis.


The silver powder coating came out great!


Anniversary floor mats arrived. This is a sample mouse pad sized floor mat with the logo.


These 15 silver chassis are very special.
