Hi guys,
I need a opinion of experts.
The car needs a rebuild but after a little bit of research about the VIN number I found something that is not correct.
1ste The colour of the car is imperial blue and on the VIN it should be 42 mallard green. I cant find anywere some green in the car.
2nd The car is from 92 but the chasis has the fuel cap from the later version. Also found a second VIN plate with 909 motorsport on it. I think some of the former owners has build the escort and used the VIN number of a distroid escort.
3rd Before I bought the escort, the VIN number was used for a rally car. Mine is just a road car.

How can I best rebuild the car?
Here are my options but I can decide, can you give your opnion.
1. Colour mallard green en rebuild the shell like a 92 version.
2. Colour diamond white and keep the 909 motorsport shell.
3. Rebuild it back to a rally car but this could be very expensive and no more normal road use.

PS. I had better done the research before I bought the escort but when you are joung and you want something you dont think twice.
