Customer Harold W. Graduates his Mk4 Build!

Posted on August 9, 2025 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Congratulations to customer Harold W. from New Cumberland, PA on graduating his Factory Five Mk4 Roadster build! Harold started his build in Fall 2023, and assembled the car over a year and half working on it mostly on weekends.

Harold built his complete kit Mk4 Roadster with a BluePrint Engines 347, 3-link rear suspension with 8.8″ solid axle rear end, stainless steel side exhaust, chrome roll bar, leather seats, carbon fiber dash, ultra-lite gauges, and 17″ Halibrand wheels.

On the interior, Harold used marine vinyl on the center console along with 1/4 foam and also added solid black foam pieces by the door to help prevent wear on the carpet when getting in and out of the car. In the trunk, he used some different material to help break up the black carpet a bit.

Awesome build, Harold! We look forward to hearing about your adventures driving the car as well as going to a lot of shows and events!
