Very common problem on Mk4 escorts mate and not really a job for you if you are not handy with a welder as its quite a fiddly job and takes time if you are to do it right.

My advice would be buy a new front cross-member and get a mate who can weld to fit it for you or find someone that will do it as a homer as easy enough to do if you know what you are doing, done loads of these over the years
