Hello from Washington state! Ordered a complete MK4 kit in March, and Stewart delivered it this week. Went with a 302, T5, and IRS. Trying to do this as a "budget" build, by using donor engine, trans, and rear. Plan is to do most of the bodywork myself, and then have someone else paint it.
When the kit was delivered I was surprised by how little is on backorder. Just the day before the kit arrived, I had two tracking numbers from Factory Five for what may be the remaining bits. Going through the inventory process, and unfortunately found a couple issues so far. For example, shock spacers appear to be wrong length. And, missing an aluminum panel, but also have a panel with a part number not on the list (maybe the part was mislabeled).
Interestingly, I was expecting to order some better brake pads. But, the kit shipped with StopTech Sports, which appear to be a decent pad.
