+1 on above comment. As Fay Curtis said re fiberglass bodywork, "Anything you can break, you can fix." Other than the owie, it's looking fabulous.

I never knew how much I liked those headlights before I saw the photo in the rain--what are they?


I really dont' know; I'll look into it for you.


Brad,
Any info on those headlights? I really like 'em, too!

Your car is an Exocet correct?
Is it a completely stock Miata underneath?

I think that assumption is considerably more flattering to Stuart* and Mazda than to Brad and Pook.

*Stuart, I mean no insult to you or the Exocet (heck, I tried to license the Exocet design from you at one time) but Brad's car (and Pook's design/build) is exceptional.

sorry guys, I remember looking at them to try and find out and coming up with nothing. I apologize for not posing back.

Thanks!



Well I think Ive had my fun with this thing, I need to simplify my car habits/hobbies to prioritize other things in life. For sale , asking 25k. I know that's not locost, but who knows. I also have a rotarty 13B swap that is mostly complete for it, and both carb and fuel injection parts for the rotary. I will sell that with the car or separate if anyone is interested.
