Yemin, the black SE will become a Exocet in the future, I have another SE donor for my car.

There is heaps of space for a tall guy.

Finally picked up the chassis on the weekend, didn't come with instruction but I'm pretty sure this is how it goes together...

So that's where the Exocet chassis is going....
Where have you moved to now Lou ? Wouldn't mind seeing the chassis.

I've moved to Silverdale, let me know if you want to come and have a look.

Unfortunately have had no progress on the Exocet due to the new garage being held up by council red tape.... But I might have had a bit of a change in plans for the engine set up I was planning to use.

No worries. I'll shoot you a message before I come. What engine were you planning on using ?

Thinking about fitting the non turbo race engine, much cooler when you start it, sounds like a race car...should go ok with about 125rwkw.

Stu, having options usually makes it harder for me cause I have a hair brained idea and things change every few days....I'm pretty sure I have decided what I'm doing but this could change of course.

By Exocet is for sale, are you referring to your Exocet build or Matt's company ?
