Customer Mike M. Picks up his Mk4 Roadster

Posted on April 29, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

20 years ago, Mike M. came across an article on Factory Five Racing in Hot Rod Magazine and has since dreamed of owning one. After years of raising a family, he decided it was time to make his dream car a reality. Initially, Mike tried buying a pre-owned Factory Five, but after being ghosted by sellers, his wife suggested he order his own. So, Mike went online, filled out the order form, and the rest is history! Today is a special day for Mike as he’s already assembled his 302 engine and is excited to bring his dream project to life. With the help of his friend Steve, the car is now en route to Canada. Congratulations Mike! We can’t wait to see your build progress!
