if i was going to do this i would us a hatch and a cabriocut the hatch at the base of the rear window cut the cab in front of the boot hinges and join them so you would have a working boot but then theres the problem of the car being shy of 2 doors unles you wanted a 2 door orion

id probably go down the same route as Roy has with the sierra sapphire, use a mercedes as the side windows are roughly the same shape, just graft an escort front end on and modify the back lights etc

Went to the model shop fella's and sorry no xr3is or mk2 road cars.
They had a load of red cabs (Ł30), r5 gtt road (Ł37) and race (Ł40). Mk2 rally Castrol's (Ł52!!)and a few Rs1600i's red and black (Ł37).

Got a cab should have been Ł30, but she only charged me Ł20.

Got to go to Manchester tomorrow and i'll have a look in the model shop there and let you's know.
