Hi all,
My name's David and after "dreaming about it" for many months we've finally taken the plunge and bought the donor and placed the deposit on an Exocet.
I've wanted to build a Kit Car since I was about 7 (over 33 years ago) and now I'm roping my not too reluctant 14yr old & 10yr old sons into helping me.
Not lifted a spanner in anger for over 20 years but prior to that did a lot with air-cooled VWs, Minis and a rusty, rattley Vitesse, so hopefully it won't be too big a challenge for us.
Planning on an all black version (apparently it hides any non-straight cut lines
- but will be keen to see other builders colour combinations on here before making a final decision.
The idea is then to take the car on the road of course but also to track days and disused air fields so that the boys and I can have a blast.
I have to say that Stuart has been extremely helpful (and very patient). Accommodating two site visits and taking both my lads for a quick spin up the road (he knows how to get the kids pestering us to buy one)
See you out there..
