I wouldn't bother. With mac struts and front wheel drive geometry on the back it wont be the best of drives.
I'm sure this car will be fine for a laugh but if you want somethingg that handles properly this is not the way to do it.

yeah thats the one 
i've been told that the geometry won't be a problem. as i will have adjustable tca's, 2x steering racks (one locked), and gaz said they can supply coilovers that will suit the car fine. then i'll get it all set up and corner weighted so should be fine.

yer car was built by a buch of lads, they fitted an xr3i running gear into it & used it for abit of fun then car was converted to turbo spec but neva ran/was finished.
this is where i brought it
i got it all finished & took it out for a kane (you turbo vids) car was seriously underpowerd & wasnt boosting right. all or nothing hence erratic/shite driving it the vid lol
all suspension was std lowerd/cut springs
it did handle like shite as all the weight was in the rear so when u had 2 flick it out (balls out) it just swung around it a circle.
howeva with a decent spec'd engine/running right & all the suspension set up correct i think the car should perform/handle ok
be nice to see sum fresh vids of it goin as it should!

fitted the adjustable tca's and rose jointed track rod ends. big thanks to compbrake!
have cut out all of the old mfi loom and un-needed wires. started to get cossie engine loom in. also have ordered a tubula manifold and a hydrolic clutch conversion from crazycage and just got myself a T34.48.

Zee Germans are coming
i would get in so much trouble in that
with some proper rubber it should do good quarter times as well
good job you have put some proper rods in there
wouldnt be nice if a standard one left the building
