hi, i'm currently doing a mk 2 rs 2000 and a 73 beetle 1303 so i'm doing both too,
but i hate beetles(its my dads he likes them),
i love old escorts so i think you made a good decision swapping sides lol
but you'll find the price of parts for old escorts is mega compared to old beetles,
you can buy just about anything for the beetles and get change out a tenner lol
seems like everyting for escorts is best part of a ton

not into campervans but you've done a cracking job on them,if you put half the effort into the escorts it will look stunning.
