Building an Exocet

[Mzr0818]

Well... I need a new hobby. I have had the speed 7 years + and I ready to try something different. I have always wanted to build a car from the ground up, but not have to reinvent the wheel. I also am always in search of a more "pure" driving experience, so I decided a while back I was gonna try this. I started sourcing a donor back in august and grabbed up a wrecked 2001 with 102k. 6 speed with the 4.30 torsen lsd. It will be a slow process as I have kids who break shit faster than I can fix them and will be selling parts as I go.

I straightened everything as best I could so I could road test it for a few hundred miles. I wanted to make sure everything worked like it should before starting a disassembly.

Thanks very much.

The amount of options is daunting. It's a blank slate for sure.

Notice the RHD K van next to it? His buddy imports and sells them. He has had some cool stuff come through.

I was going to ask what what was. Looked like an RHD VW

Sounds like a fun project for the weekend. Better than mine which I get to roll around in insulation and hang drywall.....

Assembly will be fun, but cleaning and painting the roller skate is gonna suck...
