Title: Estate load area
Post by Scorpio_Mike on Jun 19^th, 2009, 10:03am

I've carried a ccouple of heavy item in the load area of my Scorpio estate and now find that the fiberboard floor panel quite bowed :-[

The earlier Granada Scorpio estate had steel covers on the spare wheel well and next-door storage compartment - just wondering if anyone has fitted these metal parts into a Scorpio & if so is it straightforward ?

Reason I'm asking is I've found a fairly local Granada estate being broken up for parts and I wouldn't mind fitting the bits if possible.

hi there

if what you're carrying does that to the floor panel, i'd say it was time to hire a van!

you need to remember the age of the car and the cost of replacement shocks/welding chassis cracks.

i'm not sure if the metal cover fits. size/shape wise i would think it's the same, but it might be welded in.
