Unhappy p100 1.8 td help please?

I recently brought a p100 td with only 55,000 miles on the clock (service history to back up). Had been standing for 3yrs, Started up first turn-left running for 15-20mins and ran fine, then drove it up the road for test ride and was ok. Then driving to my lock up 4 miles away, half way home it started to rev really high on its own, i switched off the igintion and it stopped. Looked under the bonnet and oil was everywhere, seems to be coming from the head gasket near the cam belt cover. Has lost compression now and won't start. I have a escort td engine, will it fit my p100?

i think the wheels on your's will be off a single axle transit. Seen people put sierra front hubs/legs on and think some bits off a capri fit the rear
