The rear hatch was modified to gain some luggage space, but also to avoid the rust on the lower part of the rear window, because the water used to acccumulate in that place due the design of the hatch.

CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-11-22 00:32	But i wonder, were these Simcas also built by Barreiros? i thought only the 1000 was made by BArreiros Blackwalls?
