john,

Do the one that will cost you the least money.

you have all over the winter etc...now to get one or two of them sorted.

the 'works' shell will not take that much to finish...running gear seat etc...

the mk.2 though....still a bit to sort it,money,time,paint etc....but it will be awesome when done.

a lot of work shelling your car into a standard shell....and for what...to do track days with....might aswell yuse the works shell.

imo....the escort mk.2.

just something different from the sierras.

I'd use the boreum rallye shell with all the bits on and put all different parts on the mark 2,and take your time with mark 2 because it will be awesome done properly

only one option really John, use the Borham shell.

Will be the best option in the long run and from the sound of it will save you a bit of time modifying bits.
