The Bostrom’s Mk4 Shines at First Car Show!

Posted on September 25, 2026 by in What's New

“This is a lifetime dream come true for me!” John exclaims as he shares the news of graduating his Mk4 Roadster build and attending his first car show with the completed car earlier this month.

John found a partially built Mk4 Roadster for sale back in November 2023. He took a trip to talk to the owner in Katy, TX, and was soon bringing it home for him to complete the assembly.

“I built a 454 Windsor Ford with Inglese 8 stack injection for it myself,” said John. “Installed it and got it to the running stage. My younger brother, his friend, and my son completed the body work (fantastic job done). Sent it out for paint dark shadow gray metallic with gray ghost stripes. It is now inspected, title applied for and being enjoyed.”

Congratulations John! We look forward to hearing about your continued adventures with your wife Etta and your Mk4 Roadster.
