This reminds me of a car featured in a mag about 10 years ago, someone had made a 2 door orion using doors from a 3dr Mk4 and moved the B post back, welding up the rear section of the rear doors..... Although as I write this I am wondering if it was indeed one of these after all. Whatever..... it looks uber cool, top postings!!! there was a 2 door orion in fast car or fast ford i think it was, it was a 2.8 V6 and RWD built by a chap called Steve Reynolds who used to own an RS breakers in N London but that was ni on 20 years ago ? it had 2Dr escort rear windows so looked more ford only than that one IMHO. God i'd love a taunus coupe ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

They look a bit like Sierra rear lights.

Now you've done it, I REALLY need a Chevy Opala

I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example.

I love that pointer pickup, but that Opala?! Whhaaa mama! It's got all the right muscle-car styling cues, real purpose, but looks to be sensibly sized. I need one! Also known as an Opel Rekord C Coupe: ![](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2377/2363705225_61bb581b76.jpg) ![](http://www.mg-f.net/oldtimer-friends/images/1971rekordcoupe1.jpg) And also known as the Commodore A coupe ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ![](http://www.oldtimerwunsch.de/attachments/Image/DSC_11.JPG)

We did (IIRC) just very very rare. That and the Manta rally-rep boys have probably nicked all the back axles lol.
