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.
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.

Electronic Speed Controller and yes they are used in RC cars but are also very useful if you are building a variable speed drive.
It depends on the motor type of course. I spend my days designing such things and the topic is huge!

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

Spend all day breaking a static caravan by hand. Jeez the rubbish. Anyhoo, the tear down jobs 2/3 done. Then there is the wood to burn and the metal to weigh in.

Ah, so it's a factory original rather than a later adaptation.
Put me off buying it, because when you buy someone else's project you buy all their bodges too.

Xylia's just emailed me to say that the facial recognition software on her Apple devices is recognising her face again, so it shows the swelling must be going down. She seemed much better when I went to see her today and there is even some talk of her being sent home early in the next week, so that'll be good.
So there's a handy household hint. If you want to thwart facial recognition software and evade the database state, contract cellulitis in your upper body.

Also 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.

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.
Yes, it is a flipping shame, and the Rod, Custom and Kit Car world hate it.
