Oval Overload - thanks for popping in with the clarification.

toyobug: FYI, the bodywork isn't meant to be "draped" on a rolling chassis/floor pan like a kit car. The Sunrise is a complete composite unibody "shell" that needs suspension parts bolted on. Thus the attraction to the suspension subframe assemblies of the Ford RWD coupes.
