Dear Fellow Members,
I know my graduation date has come a little early, I've been registered and insured for about a week now. There are so many of you that I would personally like to thank. Many of you have been so helpful and I wouldn't have been able to do it without all of you. I have to say that I am extremely pleased with the quality of the FF Kit and would highly recommend it to anybody looking to build one.
I would especially like to thank my wife Kathy for buying me such a great gift, for translating the build manual for me, for helping me build it and for all of her patience and understanding for all of the hours I've spent in the garage.
I would also like to thank my father who has always bragged about the Cobra and forever reminds me of the greatest car ever created and the one car he had always wished he bought but never did.
She cost me about 25K to build in total and is fast as hell (probably the meanest car I've ever owned).
So for all of you who helped me build this car and for all of your technical advise,
I would like to proudly present a 30 year old dream that has finally come true for me, MKIII FFR# 6364 for graduation.

Eric congrats on a beautiful car and dog. My previous dog was a Weim, so I had to chime in. Many happy miles with your new treasure.

well Eric if i still lived on Long Island we'd be good friends! it was nice watching your build. maybe this year's Rumble Through The Tunnel event in Manhattan will coincide with my yearly October vacation and i can meet you. i always seem to miss the NY guys by one weekend.

p.s. great car, but more importantly, you seem to have a fantastic and loving wife, i compliment you for thanking her.
