Here is my car of 6 years...  I love it. Been all over Europe in it, round the nurburgring twice, over the alps, probably slept in it more times than my own bed etc etc. Anyway, since buying the 'cream machine' as I now call her, I've always had dreams of making her into something special (or mad, according to some. Both mean the same in my book) Well, the other ingredient needed to create my concoction arrived today. This is it  Work has already started and I'll hopefully make decent progress this weekend. Obviously I'll keep you lovely people informed... |

What's the wheelbase on the Espace?
What's the plan? Plonk the Body on the Landrover ladder? Should be hillarious

Well, a little rugby game interfered with work today, and progress may well be slow tomorrow as I'm feeling very sore now! So in the meantime, here are some photographs for your viewing pleasure... As she was before...  Then I decided to wrap it....     And as it looks now... this was outside my mum and dads house in France. Doesn't it match the house well?  |

Oh and m0rk... Espace wheelbase is 101"
What's an inch between friends? :-)

Depends who you're asking... *cough*
2 inch lowering springs would probably set the wheelbase at 101" but I doubt it will make enough of a difference for anyone to really care.

Danke landroverman.
To be honest I'm in love with air suspension

Quaintly enough the Disco 1 chassis was available with air suspension, it just had a range rover sat on top of it.
Original spec airbags and compressor etc are probably stupid expensive or not worth having second hand any more, but the factory front shock mountings just bolt on to the chassis, with extra mounts in front of the spring seats on the front axle.
Sort of thing someone will likely have sitting somewhere if you wanted to save yourself some work.
