Papa's MKIV Roadster Build - #9115 (Post Grad) - One million + views!!!

[UKSNAKE]

Im going up to MA next week to hopefully pull the trigger on a Mk5 to build with my son. Sometimes this looks a bit scary with some of the wiring and electronics, but my son did audio engineering so hoping he will sort that bit out. This thread looks like a step by step build so will follow closely. Thank you !

Thanks for the incredible post, details and motivation. I will be ordering a kit in the next 2 weeks and will frequent this build thread.
I am curious on your diy powder coating, what system do you have and do you use a separate oven or toaster over etc….
Also curious to where Jeff the painter is located (might have missed it, but looking for a recommendation in Birmingham, AL area)

Dennis,

Thanks for the kind words. The powder coating setup I have is from Eastwood. It included an oven and dual voltage gun. I've used it for lots of things, and it was definitely worth the money. Jeff K. is located in Bloomington, Indiana. I shipped my car to him from Colorado, and will likely be getting back on his list for my new Coupe build.
