    Rob’s Mk5 Legacy Build - Center section and rear suspension installed

    Mk5 Build Planning
    This is my plan for my Mk5 Roadster, as posted in the Welcome Forum, I am in Port Moody BC Canada and will be doing this with my two adult sons (we’re going to the Build School Oct 17, visiting FFR Oct 21 for a tour and to finalize the order. I want to make this a legacy build that both boys will continue to enjoy long after I’m gone, so it needs to be a daily driver. Being in Canada I will order what I can from FFR and then Valins for the completion kit (already having a great email thread with Ryan).
