Canadian Customers Made a Strong Showing at FFR This Weekend!

Posted on November 22, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

The week ends with strong representation from our Canadian customers! From Montreal, Gilles L. and his wife made the trip to Wareham to pick up their Mk4 Roadster kit yesterday. Today, Coupe-R owner and Ontario resident Kirk M. drove the distance to visit, check brake measurements and score a set of 18” Halibrand wheels for his Coupe. Dave Smith gave him an additional 18″ Halibrand rim for free since he made the long 10 hour drive! Now he’s got a spare for the rear deck or a new rim in reserve in case of curb rash. Last, but not least, Jason R. and his wife, who are currently building their FFR ’35 Hot Rod Truck, stopped in to grab a grille for their project and catch up with the crew.

Today is just a small snapshot of the larger and growing FFR customer community in Canada!
