Few Ideas for custom exocet

[h5ngs]

Just being bored tonight thinking about the exocet and just trying to think of a few ideas, make it abit more custom.
Thought id open a thread for people to put some ideas they may have as kit cars are very customable.

Had this idea which may make the car more usable for british weather, may not work due to certain factors but just ideas. Sorry for the very very very poor paint pictures (my photoshop is on my other laptop which is now dead), unsure if this could be an option made up in sections so its a bolt on/off piece so you can choose depending on weather also for storage,





dont know how it would fit or if it can be done, unsure what problems this makes ie needing a screen, dont know if you can make a road legal windscreen from plexi glass like the little shield on the mev car or if a full glass screen would be needed. Also i can see few problems ie with access into the car aswell, but like i said just a few ideas, maybe usable for track days etc ...

Well any comments welcome / anyone elses ideas maybe for a few custom changes,

pics also show panelling in the tubular shell as an idea. may be even scope for a fabric roof windows etc to make it usable in the rain, obviously this will add weight but maybe fun.

Also showing on the rear a square plate on the bottom left, will probs need a light for illumination but easy done and looks alittle different and leaves the rear panel nice and smooth.

I did hear on here about some changes to the front nose cone coming in january, any more info on this one or is it a surprise

i like the idea of the bolt in cage and its something i might look into myself after mines built ( i have a local metalworks specialist who i know well)
the only hard part will be around the M rollbar

the problem with adding a screen is i believe it'll need to be glass to the right spec for a windscreen plus you'll need to add wipers and a screen demist

i'd like to have ago at changing the lower rear around the exhaust but that will depend on what type exhaust i fit

Look, why not go the whole hog and add armchairs, a pipe rack and teasmaid, I really believe the actual concept of the Exocet is great as is and adding further bars, screens ect. would detract from the original design. If it ain`t broke don`t fix it. Best regards Ted, p.s. I`m 63 this month.( hope you like my sense of humour).

No no sense of humour appriciated and the idea of an arm chair might be good just thinking of the cage if it was used more as a track car then maybe slightly safer in the event of a roll.

I believe this is the fastest armchair.

BTW Kevin I have heard that a case has left the depot and is now on a ship with your name on it. Just in time for Christmas I hope.
