Suppose I better explain the front missing
Its all going to be a frame front, Was to much rust on the front panel,wings,bulk,inner wings and cross member
So im having , New wings and front panel bolted together, there then will be a frame inside with 'tabs' allowing me to bolt the front on and off
also allowing easy access to the engine/rad/cooler etc
cheers all

fair play
that is going to be such a weapon when it built
why not go fibreglass wings bonnet etc, even lighter then
id leave the kit off and take the spoiler off and use 1.3L bumpers so it looks stock model escort
even more of a sleeper

Front wings will be metal, as is the front panel
Bolted or welded together,So I can have it as a fully removable front
Fibreglass-doors/boot and bonnet though
