Im hoping to leave the part where the pedals are in place and just move the area that the engine will produde into.

Re: TD42 RWD

Thanks for the in depth reply mr crash.

Whats makes it more interesting is its getting a terrano body shell.

I am still looking down the path of a manual box but it will depend on where the gear shift will poke out. I dont want to be changing gears from the back seat

Re: TD42 RWD

Reason for a TD42 transplant over anything else is it will be a cool conversion and a bit of fun to drive.
I travel between 400 and 700 kilometers each week for work, often towing a car transporter.
So fuel consumption is important.
