This is a build site for my Factory Five Racing, MK4 Roadster. I will try to keep this as up to date as possible. It will chronicle the build of the Roadster from start of boxes of parts to the completion. Once complete, this blog will turn into more of a "Ownership" blog. The good and bad of owning and driving a Roadster.

Still Waiting!!!
Factory Five promised me that the rims would ship by today. I'll believe it when I see it. Well in the lack of being able to get the kit to a roller status, I have been tearing out some of the parts off of my Mustang. Some to use on the kit and some to sell. I will be using the transmission... only 10K on a new TKO 600. I was planning to us the rearend as well, but when I tore into it, there was more wear than I wanted and the ring and pinion were a 4:11 a little much for such a light car. I opted to buy a new Moser 8.8 rearend with 3.31ring and pinion. I think this will be a much better match for the car, and being new I shouldn't have to worry about it. Also it is larger that the stock Mustang rearend and can handle a boatload more torque. That should be here by the end of the week. (along with my rims, right.) That's it for now, I will be posting pics of the Mustang tear down and parts after this weekend. Things should start to move in a couple of weeks.
