no mate, you trim the floor to the width you need then weld L section steel to the trimmed edge of the floor then weld that to the steel

How have you altered the wheelbase then and where is the original escort cut away and where is the sierra joined to it? Would like to do a bit of research before attacking 2 cars with a grinder and a welder, lol.
