Default MKII Escort

Hey all, new here, I'm 19 and I have a 1.3l 1976 MKII Escort L. I got it off my dad who garaged it in favour of an XR3i. It was fitted with a blueseal engine, new brakes, new clutch, new exhaust etc before it was garaged.

It starts every time and all the pieces are there, I just need a little work to get it MOT worthy, such as the A-pillar and boot floor need welding up, it has been garaged for about 9 years so I am going to swap all the fluids, pipes and hoses, I will also check the brakes for rust. I just need a little help sourcing fiberglass body panels. I want to fit a boot spoiler and a front spoiler, however the most important thing so far is fiberglass doors, as these one have pretty much dropped off the hinges and rusted through . I could also do with pointing in the right direction for braided brake hoses and where to get all the rubber seals.

Then all that's left is attacking the surface rust and possibly swapping the front McPherson struts as they are red rusty, but not sure if it's just surface rust.

And to prove I'm not a troll, here are some pics of it.




And for the lols, heres a pic of me!
