Hi All, so as you know mec recently bought his second Reliant Regal van which we collected a few weeks ago. Well I have also always wanted one for years but due to lack of space at my old house and other priorities I have never managed to get one..... until now
Anyway I had recently spotted one for sale that had been converted to electric power at some point, but with a nice solid body and chassis. So a couple of weeks ago me and our official resident reliant regal expert took a trip to check it out. Long story short I ended up getting it.
The plan is to get it running on electric power to see what its like, and then probably return it back to petrol power. It will also be done in the obligatory yellow
So, a donor engine and box will be required.... a lovely Reliant Rialto that had been gutted out ready for banger racing turned up on the facebook marketplace for a bargain price. Worth it just for the engine, box and fuel tank. So this was also purchased and is now in storage on my parent's driveway due to running out of space at mine for anymore vehicles Of course the mrs is over the moon about all this
Anyway here are some pics. I will update this over the next few months (years) as I get it up and running
