Chris D.’s MK4 Featured in Coastal Lifestyle Magazine!

We’re proud to share that Chris D.’s incredible Factory Five MK4 Roadster build has been featured in a recent issue of Coastal Lifestyle Magazine!

From forty boxes and a steel frame to a fully finished Factory Five Mk4 Roadster, Chris turned a lifelong dream into reality. “I was born into the hobby,” he said. “I grew up with a dad who was a mechanic.”

Every detail from suspension and wiring to the final coat of paint was done by hand. “I’m very particular about my work and drawn to projects that require attention to detail,” Chris shared.

The result is a stunning roadster that’s as personal as it is powerful. “I wanted the original race car, the ideal little car with a big engine, but I wanted to build it my way, with my own hands. And for that, there’s nothing like Factory Five Racing.”
