what to do with spare espace?
I am currently harvesting the best bits from 2 renault espaces to make one good one, but will be left with a rolling shell that seems in reasonably
good nick.
i was thinking of having a play around and turning it into a RWD monster, possibly mid engined. I have seen a tranny van with an old F1 engine mounted
in the middle and although i can afford an F1, I was thinking maybe a chuncky V8? shouldn't be too much of a ball ache to drop a sierra back end
into one and have some fun at the lights.
either that or scrap it?
P.s anyone need a 2L renault petrol engine (auto 'box goosed)

A gallon of fuel and a match will sort your problem out!

a bit harsh there bud! they have their uses. take all the seats out and you have a van that the tip rats cant stop you tipping with then put the
seats back in and take you and 6 others out for the day in comfort + the bodywork will never rust......

Google 'espace f1 image' and you will see what Renault did. Mid engined hyper school bus!

I heard of a guy who stripped one out and used it to transport his track bike.

i have never been very good at typing and just to clarify, i can't afford F1.
its stopped bleeding now, it looks like it was powersteering fluid? have even got the bonnet open and engine running thanks to a hole saw and a screw
driver
