Default escort mk4 shell manchester, restoration advice please

hi guys i have just bought myself a mk4 escort shell in tidy condition. id like it to be mint so is there any garages/escort specialist that could replace inner/outer sills and 2 floor pans? id like the work to be done properly so you cant tell once painted etc.

does anyone know of anyone in the manchester or north west area that could do it and how much roughly would i be looking at for labour?

thanks

I know it's a bit far but Karl from Middlesbrough is who I'd use.
His work is fantastic just look at beefys escort and the black 3door he is doing now they look like they have just come straight from the factory.

if you need every part may I suggest you buy a rotten s2 to pillage for parts, will save you a lot of money.
