Congratulations on the decision. You won't regret it.
There's a great bunch of folks here to help you with anything you need. I have never asked a question that I didn't get a number of good answers to. Likewise I read an awful lot of threads from others asking questions, and getting awesome answers to as well. You can't go wrong here.
Welcome to a pretty cool club!
Regards,
Steve

Although I haven't started mine, I have been asking lots of questions and everyone here is enthusiastic and passionate about these cars.

Congrats! I enjoyed the build. I've been on the road 2 weeks now. What a blast! I found a good way to search for info here. I go to the Google search, type the topic and add factory 5 to the topic.

My completion date is also the 10/11. I'm jumping on a plane Thursday to fly from Bellingham, Wa out to FFR to tour the place on Friday and see my MKIV before Stewart picks it up on the 13th. What's the name and I'll try to shoot some pics of yours and e-mail to you. PM me your e-mail address

Trust me those brakes will look better sitting on the end of a pair of axle tubes rather than sitting on the bench. pull the trigger today on a rearend?
