I have a dilemma.....

I have a mk3 Escort Cabriolet with an RS Turbo mfi engine in. Built in 2007, did a few shows and enjoyed a year or two with her running. In May 2009 on the way to FITP I had an irritating mis-fire every so often and when I got back home I was determined to solve the problem.
During the month or two I was trying to get the mis-fire sorted I split with my long-term girlfriend. I left our home, moved into my mates and stuck the cabriolet (non-running by this time) in my mates yard at the rear of his garage.
Fastforward March 2011, sorted my life, managed to bag a cracker of a girl and thinking about sorting cabriolet out. By this time its been gathering alot of muck, gypsies have had a nosy round it so its missing a doorlock and a few bits are missing. Its looking very sorry for itself and its now resting in my garage in my new place.

Now question is do I rebuild it or reshell the engine?? The cost of sorting it could probably get me a genuine RS Turbo rolling shell. My cabriolet is quite rare im believed to have been told being a very late mk3 on a D-reg so it would be nice to keep it......


Here's a few pics....















Lol sorry to bore you all with the pics.... Im very proud of the build and due to my breakup with the ex I couldnt sort it. Alot of spare time and money went into the build with not alot of expense spared. If I reshelled then I would be undoing and throwing away all the work on this car. But on the other hand I would have the Real Mcoy and not a badged up cab......


Help!!! Opinions needed!!
