I just finished building a Mk4, really like the car thus far, I chose the Mk4 because there was a lot of information available on them to help me with my build. I am planning another build in the future. I am really leaning towards the 289, I met a forum member on this site who has a 289 and it is stunningly beautiful. It reminds me of a James Bond car, no roll bars, no stripes, 15" wheels, elegant with a Roush 427 under the hood that is all business. To each is own but I would not hesitate to build a 289 if you like the car.

Here is a picture of his car... I think it is totally BA. One of my favorite builds I have seen yet.
