Thought I would create a thread of my Exocet build, this is my First time building a kit car and I have brought a donor an 1.8L with 84k on the clock already pulled apart to save some time
I live in Auckland and have enjoyed driving a 1.8L and a 1.6L and decided to go with a 1.8L, So the job starts of stripping and cleaning and painting the donor chassis.

Lots of elbow grease but it is looking great. Looking forward for the rest of the build.
