John purchased his Mk4 in November 2010 with the Factory Five IRS, 15″ Halibrand Replica Wheels, polished stainless steel side pipes, front and rear nudge bars, leather seats, sun visors, and wind wings. To help give his Mk4 a real clean look, John opted to not install the hood scoop or roll bar.

The engine is a Ford 306 with E cam and Powerjection III mated to a Tremec T5. John has already put over 500 miles on his Mk4.
