Christmas Came a Few Days Early for Hunter L.!

The holiday week started off this morning with a family picking up their new Factory Five! Carly D. surprised Hunter L. from Virginia with a Mk4 Roadster kit for Christmas. Today they came by along with family members Kent, Tanner, and Jen L. for a tour and to load everything up.

The build plans for their Mk4 are to install a 331 stroker, TKX transmission, 8.8″ solid axle with 3-link rear suspension, stainless steel side pipes, chrome roll bar, and 17″ Halibrand wheels. They are still trying to decide on paint with some blue and silver options being discussed.

They have to make their mind up fairly soon though as the goal is to graduate their Mk4 in time for Carly and Hunter’s wedding in September! We’re excited to see another family build get started, and look forward to seeing their photos from their big day. Congratulations!
