How To Use This Book; What You Get - Factory Five Racing MK4 ROADSTER Assembly Manual

How to use This Book

This Assembly manual is intended to help you build your Factory Five Kit. This book will not explain such
things as engine or transmission building. A secondary purpose of this book is to use it as reference for owners
that want to do maintenance work on their cars or for those that purchase finished cars, to understand their cars
better.
This manual was written with the average weekend mechanic in mind. It is best to follow the manual step by
step but if there is a part missing from the kit move to the next section and come back to it late when the part is
available. If the instructions are followed then the resulting car should be a great handling sports car.
