You may find that it could also be rwd - with a very short propshaft and Ford Sierra independent rear end! |

Andy's right. Probably RWD with a prop shaft connected to the gearbox output and with either a soild rear end out of an old Escort or independent from something else. This is how the Westfield Megabusa and many other UK kit cars are built. JC and I were just discussing this set up with Mad Matt at the Muster. |

I reckon that might actually be the bike gearbox sitting in the back - if there was a car diff, why would they need the chain... ? separate the engine from the 'box with a propshaft, and the bike 'box is in the back fark... talk about your points of failure
