[urq] Different Strokes for Different Folks

[alexander stickler]

I think it is an Ur-Q because of the placement of the
rear exhaust - coupes have the rear exhaust going
lengthwise and not across the car.  

My theory about the battery and brake booster (that's
what had me convinced it wasn't an UrQ at first): the
car got hit massively up-front and was rebuilt with
the front end of a coupe. Or maybe, the swap was just
easier by welding in a battery tray. The guy lists a
diff as one of the spares and a hell of a lot of
subframe bushings and control arms for a FWD car. 

My $0.02.
