Default Hi guys new here,and a Cossie question

First post been lurking a while though,hope i am welcome

4x4 Escort Cossie shell,how hard to use say a rusty Saff or 3dr RWD as a donor vehicle?Will everything fit like T5,diffs,suspension etc?I want a rwd Escort as i cant afford the 4x4 transmission upgrades for planned engine LOL.Yes i know being short wheelbase it will make for interesting handling but i dont mind.Thanks people.
