Default Mk4 escort RS turbo bonnet not open??

Hi all can anyone help ?? Just bought an 90 spec Rs turbo for complete restoration but I can’t get the bonnet open because the cable is broke that opens the bonnet . I removed the front bumper thinking that would let me get it open but no joy. Can anyone help/advise how I can get this bonnet open???

Thanks
Great site 👍

I've opened mine by lying on my back under the front cross member and reaching up to manually pull the lock to release the latch.was a right pain as very little room,I had full frontal intercooler which didn't help.
You may find using a screwdriver a bit of a help to reach the latch.
