Lexus V8 with NOS in a Renault Espace - yeah lets do it !
Discussion
Hi everybody,
and thank you all for the words of encouragement
I originally had this idea about 3 years ago but life and other projects got in the way until recently
The original plan was for mid-engined , using a transaxle (maybe renault?maybe audi?maybe something else?)it had to be RWD , just a sucka for big engine RWD - always have been , had numerous - rover sd1 twin plenum vitesse , vauxhall omega v6 etc etc
When i started researching i found that the lexus had a wheelbase of 2850mm, a little more research i found that a renault grand espace had a wheelbase of 2874mm , close enough for me !!
After seeing a 'body' transplant on a tv show where the running gear and floorpan of a new car had the body of an old car transplanted onto it , this route has been favorite (thanks rhinochopig)
I never saw the F1 ESPACE in action but a friend did and told me it was EPIC !!
I will try and post a few pics of the stripped interior
Thanks
