Same as Mk3 and Mk4 suspension.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

the hubs are those most traditionally sought after for a 'book' locost, and if you want a +4 width car, the rear axle is good too.

Essentially, you are better of with a cortina than the escort the book recommends

What he means is, you can use everything except the headlining





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
