FFR Customer Nick B. Picks-Up His Mk4 Roadster for Christmas

Posted on December 20, 2012 by in What's New

The Factory Five crew paused for a quick photo with customer Nick B. amd co-driver Tom O. from Michigan.  Nick is building a Mk4 and there’s absolutely nothing better in the whole wide world than building your own Factory Five Mk4 over the Christmas holiday.

Nick”s wife is an engineer and is excited about the project as well.  Nick works at GM (don’t worry, he’s NOT putting an LS engine in the Mk4) and his build plan includes 3-link rear suspension, 17″ Factory Five Halibrand style wheels, and small block Ford power. Funny enough, Nick’s best friend Tom works across town at Ford, so he’s got an inside track to some Ford goodies.

Congratulations Nick and good luck on your build!

Dave Smith
President


Nick and Tom drove straight out from Michigan, loaded up, and turned right around!


Nick works at GM, but plans to use small block Ford power, unlike this Mk4 Roadster built by SKJ Customs which used an LS3 engine.

NOTE: If you want to build your own Mk4, Factory Five is having a killer Winter Sale right now where you can save a bunch of cash on parts and options totaling $2,800!  Click here for all of the details.

Over the five years he owned it, Jason made plenty of memories, including attending Run & Gun at St. Louis International Speedway in 1998 or 1999.
