Craig W. and Family Pick Up their Mk4 Roadster

Posted on May 17, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

This morning, customer Craig W. from Pennsylvania picked up his Mk4 Roadster with his family. They even brought baby Myles along —starting him young! We love seeing a family dedicated to sharing car enthusiasm. Craig’s wife, Debbie, mentioned she expects Craig and their son Jared to be deeply involved in the build, likely disappearing with the car as soon as it’s ready to drive. She also hopes she and Jen will get some seat time too. Now it’s time for Craig and his family to make this dream a reality one wrench turn at a time. Congratulations, Craig! We can’t wait to see your build progress. (Left to right: Jared, Myles, Jen, Debbie, Craig, Dave, and Matt)

Bill B. Shares an Update on His Mk5 Build

April 20, 2026

Every build has a story—but some take a lifetime to begin. After decades as a technician, engineer, and business owner—building companies, leading teams, and designing critical communications systems across New England—I decided at 50 to return to where it all started: a passion for cars. That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
