To be fair, that's an Escort with everything strengthened or re-engineered entirely.
They sold Capris here... granted the wheelbase is longer, but you could always section a few inches out of the middle like seems to be so popular with Audis 
(scadsloads of ur-quattros have been shortened... and there's a guy shortening a pair of 5000 shells right now. But this one's the one a friend of mine is doing. What does 30psi with a built 5-cylinder sound like?) |

That's hot.. and I have to hazard a guess.. just a bit easier to section than say a Carpi

That's sorta what I was thinking (leafs required for homologation), but car in the build thread is turreted for coil-overs, which are fitted, _AND_ has the floating leafs installed. Struck me as belt and suspenders  and potentially a bitch to tune/predict.
