hi was looking at google images of the exocet tonight and saw an xbow, for a bit of fun i have merged the front end on to the exocet Forgive me I know the lines are out, the proportions are wrong and the shading is poor but i wanted to know what it would look like (and it was only done in microsoft paint in about 15mins) a bit of fun  |

the back end is too "light" appearance wise as it is

That is funny, it does demonstrate how balance can detrimentally effect style. I did try to make the front narrower but it would mean a LONG nose or a non MX5 radiator and different front suspension possibly. Interestingly my latest project, the all new MEVSTER as it will be called is starting to take shape and does have a narrower nose, full sides and a windscreen, it will have a soft top option and stow space. Visitors to the Bring Em Home day on the 25th Aug will be able to see a work in progress. It would not be difficult to make a "box" to offer up to the Exocet along the lines of the crossbow as it is a fairly easy shape to replicate, give it a go.

Hi, yes it is MX5 based, the development is being followed in Kit Car magazine starting next issue. It will change shape along the way and culminate in a test drive in the consecutive 4th issue. I have enlisted the help of a famous TV celebrity to help! Attachments:

Mevster will be more expensive as it has side panels and a separate dash board and a screen, it also has larger surface area to the front and back. Mevster is not exoskeletal though and is offered as an alternative, sorry to confuse everyone, it happens every time I start a new project.
