Greetings from the proud owners of a new Mk4 Roadster kit in Miami, FL!

[CarNuts]

Introductions are in order, since it is likely that you will see me posting on this forum seeking the assistance of the more experienced (and older) builders. My name is Oscar and I am thirteen years old. My dad and I attended the FFR Build School to determine if we could take on this task. We had a great time and made many friends. It is a great experience and I strongly urge anyone who has not attended to take the course.

A couple of days ago, we purchased a new Mk4 kit and expect delivery of our baby late this month. Our plans are to shoehorn a 351 windsor in the engine compartment along with a TKO 600 transmission, sending power to a 3.27 rear end housed in a 3-link suspenison. My dreams are this car will turn out nice enough to be shown at local car shows.

We will keep posted with progress pictures and info and I apologize in advance for the many questions I am likely to ask.

I would like to thank Hearstarter in Tampa, FL for the generosity he displayed in donating a body buck and Racer28 for the valuable information he has provided.

Congratulations Oscar and that one guy... Make sure when he isn't looking you pocket a key for later use. When you're 16, it will come in handy. Have fun and get ready for one of the greatest adventures of your life.

I don't know if I should congratulate you for being such a lucky 13 year old or pity you for being 13 (and not being able to drive it for 3 more years!)

ok, congratulations! It will be a very cool build with your dad. I wish I had bought mine when my son was 13 so we could build it together.

Welcome! It's great to see young men getting into the maddness. Roger
