Wheels don't reely fill the arches do they?

Not a lot of differents is there
I saw that for sale on Ebay not too long ago. The van body seems to be sitting a little high in relation to the wheels, presumably to accommodate all the running gear.
Electronic Speed Controller and yes they are used in RC cars but are also very useful if you are building a variable speed drive.Did a search on esc but only get things to do with cars ?what does esc stand for ?
It was a “mule” that’s how landrover secretly tested stuff but always spotted round longbridge/rover worksI saw that for sale on Ebay not too long ago. The van body seems to be sitting a little high in relation to the wheels, presumably to accommodate all the running gear.
Once upon a time customizers used to take a classic car and put a later, more powerful engine in it. Hence the Rover V8 in the Ford Anglia kind of arrangement. Nowadays people seem to take the whole running gear, floorpan and dash/scuttle from the donor vehicle and graft the classic car bodyshell over the top. That way there's precious little left of the classic car apart from the outer body panels, doors and windows. I suppose with modern donor vehicles it's easier to do that, because you can keep all the suspension, wiring looms, ECUs and electronically controlled instruments together as a package. But it does mean that a great deal of the original classic car has been chopped away. Yes, it might look like a 1957 Chevrolet or whatever, but it's only the very outermost skin.
Ah, so it's a factory original rather than a later adaptation.It was a “mule” that’s how landrover secretly tested stuff but always spotted round longbridge/rover works
Always fun to see the old 6R4 metros been tested as lived not to far from there
What!! So rubbish is being chucked in the street's or is it urban foxes dragging it aboutAlso I noticed as I came home that some of the disposable nappies that have been disposed of in our street had been run over by passing cars and the faeces had been expelled. It's a good job I wasn't standing in the way when that happened. Those of you who can live in rural areas full time are so lucky.

Could be.. if not then how many engines and gearboxes required!?
The one based on the Marina Van??
Whats going on in yer street for this to happen.
There are extremely good reasons for doing this, or rather HAVING to do this. One being that unless you cut the running gear and engine totally free from the ECU managed stuff, you have to do it, but secondly to do with SVA or as the latest version is called, IVA, or "heavily modified vehicles" so that the owner can eventually get it registered and back on the road.I saw that for sale on Ebay not too long ago.
