This is an awesome project and welldone for putting in all the time, cash and hard effort
Just out of interest, what mounting points are you going to use for the front central seat belts ?

What a coincidence you should ask that , got some belts to use for mock up today from work , but can't imagine I will get any chance this weekend to work on her .
I've got some ideas as to how I can mount them but will have to wait to see if it will work

I am now moved in to my new 'office' at work , wish the garage at home was as clean and tidy ...

Have you managed to drive it very far yet?

[coogy]

Between this thread and watching project binky on the YouTube thread I'm all worn out from project cars.

[k-ink]

Crazy, inspiring, awesome!

Is it just me, or does that Espace look quite cool, regardless of whats been done to it inside, just as an Espace, don't think it would look bad lowered on some decent wheels.

Seatbelts - easy , only took 30 seconds .....







Now actually connecting them to something , well , that may take a bit longer , got some ideas and will work on them this week .
I also have now got the cosmetic sills fitted , and they fit rather low , I had a couple of reference heights to compare against , I can trim the approx 20mm bottom lip of off them but it may still sit too low , I will have to wait and see

Loving the CAD work

[lestiq]

Massive fan of this project. Also, Really, really like the OEM look of those wheels. : )

[aspirated]

Could you not smooth out the rub strips at the bottom of the doors and use some curved flush sheet metal as sills in line with the doors?

[Strawman]

Came here after the post on the decently modified thread.

[OlberJ]

You can't post a pic with the sills fitted and only show that. Overall side shot if you please.

Vantage lower than a 430? You sure about that? I've never had mine scrape over anything yet, and I don't pussy about with it.

This thing looks amazing!
