After 3+ years I'm finally finished with my Mk4 #7214.
Engine is a 347 which I built. Using PowerJection 3 from Very Cool Parts.
Transmission is a Super Alloy T-5 from Levy Racing.
Rear suspension is 3 link.
17" Bullit style wheels from OE Wheels LLC.
Excellent paint & body work by Whitby's. Color is Grabber Orange with Silver Gray metallic stripes to match the wheels & rollbars.
One cool feature I came up with was to control the directionals with push buttons on the steering wheel by using a self cancelling motorcycle module. Horn button is also on the steering wheel.
Pictures were taken at the Virginia Aviation Museum at Richmond International Airport.
And a big thanks for all the help and info I gained from the forum members!

Looks great and also love the color, especially I am looking at orange for mine. To that end, when you state the colour is Grabber Orange, is it from a particular year car? When you google grabber orange you get what appears to be so many different shades of orange it is hard to know if there is only one true grabber orange.

Anyway congrats on a great looking ride and I live your backdrop here too.

congrats! Top shelf build there. Love those wheels too. You really pulled off the whole look of the car without going over the top. Very nice!
