Default escort bonus turbo or mk1 fezza turbo???

alrite chapps, i currently have a frst that has looks very nice but the body kit is hiding some nastyness... it needs all new arches anf the filler cap hasnt had a great job done to repair it
do i repair the black frst and make it a minter? buy a mint mk1 fezza and transplant the full turbo running gear (any info on this will be great) as the engin and box are all good. or do i buy a escort bonus and fit the full running gear in that?
all my friends and family anr gettin p@#sd off with my lack of making my mind up so can any of you guys help me decide.

id use the efi running gear off the frst...but the t3 off the escort.

erm could pick a mint one up for 50 quid....up to 800 just for a mint standard 1.3 bonus/popular...

depends on the seller, i mean if its a garage or know its decent then they will charge loads...or a elderly person might be selling one or somthing thats been garaged all its life for next to nothing...

all depends!
