a weird question

Hi all.
I´m new here so let me start by saying that it´s great to be here. I love the site- and the car
I own a beautiful scorpio estate 2,0 dohc- silver from 96. I know I should´nt but I can´t help thinking that it´s not a real scorpio unless I have the tailgate of the sedan. The back of the estate version looks very oldfashioned to me- not like the rest of the car which still has a very up to date- design in my mind.
can anyone help me with advice on how to fit the sedan tailgate onto the estate model?? oh well.. hopefully I´ve made a weird impression already
best regards
Stellan

now you're a bit crazy  although I agree that it's not a real Scorpio unless it's a saloon
maybe try swapping your estate for a saloon?

Now that's just absurd  .......granted though, the tailgate on the estate is very similar, if not the same as the Granada.
It's a good point though, why did Ford not spend a little more time redesigning the tail gate so it looked less like the Granada ?.......maybe they could have had the same rear light strip as the saloon running along the bottom of the boot lid 
No doubt someone will be busy on Photoshop tomorrow & a piccie will soon appear .......

you could always cut it up a bit and weld a bit and fit the saloon tail lights into the estate, saw a hearse done like that yesterday, looks odd but not a crappy odd, i'll try and take a bit of it when i go past the funeral directors

hi all. and thanks for the comments. Of course I love the car no matter what. I just had to let this crazy idea out. Actually to me the back looks more like a sierra than a granada
thanks

You've got squinty eyes
The sierra tailgate is different, it doesnt fit (tried it)
The granada one appears to be the same panel as far as i can see, Shaun's done some fancy stuff with his estate rear, might be worth a look?
