Default Escos & 3dr differences?

Mainly looking at the chassis running RWD, would the rear arms and diff mounts etc just bolt straight onto an Escos shell??

I wanted to put my engine, running gear and wheels on a mk2 escort but theirs to much work involved to strengthen the shell so i thought about a rwd Escos project

all the mounting pionts are the same, the 3door arms have arb mounts on outside of arms instead of inside so it would be advantageous to use arms from a sff or escos to mount to the escos arb as it is thicker than a saff one

Interesting, i like the 3dr but i have so much money in it i would never get it back so i thought with the price of 3dr parts i could sell everything apart from the bit's i need and have enough cash to get all the escos bit's.
