One car has survived because it was turned into a rally car. The other one we do not know... I was hoping to find a Rx-4 crossmember but this al...

The bodyshell

Hi Madrx. Thank you for the pics of the crossmember. Yes it seems to a simple design that can be home fabricated with basic tools and a MIG welder. I will have a word with the owner and let you know. Thanks for the help!
