Depends on the model. Espaces are produced in 4 types. Phase 1,2 and 3 were produced by Matra and have plastic body panels. Phase 4 are largely metal bodies (so a lot heavier) and built by Renault themselves.
Pahse 3 & 4 have conventional McPherson struts - removed like those of most other cars, but the top mounting bolts are hard to find on the Phase 3 - look in the chamber that also houses the pollen filters, accessible through a metal "hatch" high up in the engine bulkhead.
Pase 1 & 3 models are scary! the struts can't be removed until the spring is compressed (because they have no separate top "cap") this means he spring has to be compressed in-situ ie while inside the front wing. Renault have a hard to find special tool to do this - I have done it myself using the right type of universal spring compressors - but you need to know what you are doing. The springs are short- so very high forces are required. If the tool slips you could loose your fingers, hand or head!
