DeWoof01's Exocet #291 Build
Hey guys, my name is Brent. Been lurking here for a while. Well I've taken the plunge and I am building the car. I picked up my donor a 1992 miata a month ago or so. And am almost at the point of removing the unibody. I have a you tube channel that I am making videos of nearly every step of the process as I have not seen people doing much of this just bits and pieces. Anyways if you want to follow along my main presence will probably be through the youtube channel as I am trying to build that up as a very simple guide/overview for everyone wanting to build these cars.
My YouTube channel: Building The EXOCET
Hope this is an aid for you guys. I have little idea what I am doing, just want to document the process. My plan is a 1.6 NA based exocet. Going to build the car then tear the motor down for a rebuild and go with a turbo, approx., 200-250 whp is the plan. Mainly a weekend fun car, occasional track use. Just want to build something awesome and unique. The order for the kit will be placed in the next week or two. Still trying to figure out the color. Going with the sport kit so I have the 4 or 5 point harness option as well as it seems like a better option for resale value down the road. I will mostly be updating by posting videos of my progress and what I am doing.

Chapter 5: Removing The Body
Body removal is done. If you like the videos please subscribe to my channel as it lets me have some motivation to keep making this videos. My goal is videos that will get more people to take the plunge to building an exocet and maybe help them a little along the way

Welcome! I only briefly looked at your video, looks pretty good! Where in Oregon are you located? You might want to throw that in your profile. There's a number of PDX locals, including me, that have a vast knowledge of Miatas, feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Also, where's the Corvette?!

I will update with the info. I'm in Hillsboro, or. My c5 coupe is gone sold it this summer. Only had it a couple years but it was a fun car. Just needed a new project and I made money off selling the Vette.
