Looked at this some years ago its based on a saloon cut at boot floor level couldn't see how it was strengthened but rear of car was still underneath you could see the rear lower corners etc! The same company did a late 70's accord ( don't know model designation) ,a MK2 Granada & a Chrysler alpine. Dunno if they did any others. The cortina handles like you'd expect! bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
