The Urq that Jim Mairs has in pieces all over his garage right now looks
an awful lot like a 4k/coupe in that area to me.

As I recall (there we go again...), the top of the center support is
identical.  The three vertical parts that come next are also.  The
curved cross piece below them also looked the same.  The bumper mounting
brackets were the same too.  I am sure if any of that center support
stuff had been able to come off, Jim would have done so to remove the
engine.

This was an '83 I think.  Maybe they changed?
