i thought about restoring it back to how it should look, but then i saw one with the mk2 orion rs kit on it and thought hell yeah!! so i bought it... and i's been kinda stationary for the last 4 years (work problems etc) so i's needing some welding (Ł600) full bush set (gona put poly's in) and the engine needs a bit of a tune up too

thought i'd dig this out again coz i need ya help...
who can recomend a descent bodyshop in either Essex (close to southend if poss) or in the plymouth area ? i basicly want a total bodyshell refurb. the amount of welding required means i don't think i'll be doing it myself, as the list of panels that need replacing is kinda long.. and i don't have a garage or any where i can work on the car.
wouldn't mind a quote either (or a rough estimate atleast) or just to know how much it's cost someone to get a similar job done professionally

Thought i might as well update this thread rather than starting a new one..
The black one died
not a very good pic, but basically the battery tray was that bad that the rust had spread right across to by the clutch pedal
so i bought this..
Throw Ł2000 at it and she currently looks like this..
She doesn't look entirely like that actually, i need to strip the bonnet completely, the front and rear xr bumpers ( which i got for a billy bargain price of about 40 quid on egay ) and get them sprayed, then replace the foglights cos 1 broke and they look shit anyway. I've also got an escort 'optional escort' front bib for it - i think it looks kinda similar to an Rs1600i one without the bits that go up the arch !
pics of said bib..
Right.. that's enough of me waffling.. !
