Factory Five customer Mike S. from Green Bay WI shared this great looking Mk4 build. Mike killed it on this build with a lot of custom touches. The beautiful Stryker red try coat paint, black chrome, flush mount led marker lights and carbon fiber trim give this classic shape a modern look. Powered by a fuel injected 427 with a TKO600 and IRS all fully polished.
Congrats Mike on a great build! Hope to see you at Open House on June 4th.

I asked him if he wanted to restore an old car or build something like a Factory Five Roadster — and without hesitation, he… Read More »
