Default Retro Ford Lovers - opinions?

Seeing as all the nice 2door Mk1 Escorts are very pricey,
I have been looking at 4 doors,

I changed a pic of a 2 door into a 4door.
I think i got the door lengths right.

i think its hard as fook, Opinions?

if you do it and your happy thats all that matters, i grew up in a era where 4dr escorts were owned by square wallys and old giffers so left them well alone. the price of 2 drs now though makes it a far cheeper proposition.
someone told me there was a firm converting mint mk2 4drs into 2drs by using new qtrs and other bits and bobs.
my mate had a 1 lady owner 27k miler in classic ford mag that had never been welded,totally original etc etc that would of been perfect to convert for that.
