    Order has been placed.

    Hi everyone. I have just placed my order for a MK5. This will be a build that I will be doing with my Dad and my Son. I have never done anything like this before so it will be a learning experience.

    Congratulations!

    I also had never done anything remotely like building a car, but the learning process is just as enjoyable as the building process and there is a ton of support her on the Forum.

    Take you time and enjoy!

    Congrats!
    Where are you located?
    Are you planning to go get the kit by yourself?
    Take your time, don’t rush and enjoy the ride!

    Thank you. I live near Owen Sound Ontario, about 2 hours North of Toronto. I am hopeful to do most on the build with my Dad and Son. We are attending the build school in June.

    Nice. We bought a second home in Tara with the intention of retiring there. I'm sure our paths will cross eventually.

    I received my import letter from Transport Canada! Hopefully I will be able to pick up my MK5 kit later this month. I am slowly getting my work space in order and cleaned up. Just last night I was able to pull mt 351 from an old Bronco that I have. The engine was EFI'd a few years ago with a Sniper kit, and I feel in will be good power plant of the Cobra.
