I was about to say at least it has a Panhard rod, but it's more of a Panhard bodge!

Never heard of a Pansoft rod!? Or was that a pun?
I used to service crew for a few club rally teams that ran MK1 & 2 BDA powered Escorts. When building the car's, Panhard rods were added to their rear axles to improve lateral rigidity. As in this.....
A Panhard rod is a suspension link that provides lateral location of the axle. Originally invented by the Panhard automobile company of France in the early twentieth century, this device has been widely used ever since. Wikipedia

Looks like some of the rust has gone leaving a hole too. What will be your plans? Find another tailgate or patch it up, or leave as is?

Bodger!! A real pro would use Weetabix!
Shreddies are good too, the lattice effect gives extra strength.

Took the car for a little drive to check idle tuning and other corrections, all went well. Wanted to check i hadn't effected anything on the cold start. All ready to use it on Friday now.
