Hello guys! Future FFR MK IV builder and owner here. I am planning on retiring from a 36 year career in the public sector at the end of this year. I have been dreaming of building my own FFR Cobra ever since I first saw one in a kit car mag many years ago. I look forward to prowling this site and learning as much as I can prior to placing my order.

Welcome Rich. You will have a ball building your Mk4. This site has a bunch of folks who have lots of knowledge about the building of these beauties. I’m in the South Bay so please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Welcome Aboard!
Get the the manual and read it a few times.
After that determine your ability and finances before ordering your kit.
In the meantime, enjoy these assembly videos.

Welcome
Whereabouts are you in NorCal? I’m in Elk Grove and am slowly building my kit.

Welcome! I'm in Northern California, too. Vacaville, so definitely good to have another builder in the area!
Feel free to shoot me a PM and keep in touch.

Hey guys! Thanks for the welcome! I am in Livermore area. I would love to hook up with some of you guys and pick your brains on getting this started. Does anyone ever host a meet in the nearby area?

We should! I run a collision repair facility in Napa and have friends with shops in the Fairfield and Cordelia area...we should definitely put something together: "Built not Bought".
Keep in touch, feel free to PM.

Welcome Rich. I'm also in Livermore and just started building a type 65 in November. I'd be glad to help answer anything I can.
