Ultimate Father-Son Project

Posted on March 3, 2016 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

If you visit Factory Five, you may have heard me brag about what a great father-son project these cars can be as I’ve known many such stories. Today, I was surprised by a visit from customer Ram G. who had purchased his Factory Five Mk3 in August 2008 to build with his son. Over the years, the car was built and his son has grown up in the process. Ram was kind enough to present me with these before- and-after pictures of the car AND his son.

Congratulations on a great build, and on building great memories with your son!
