Default Escort track car project

After steve and the twins convinced me to strip the car I got started on the seats,door cards then the carpet I've come across few rust spots which is a set back on the body. The engine was going to be chipped and just use the standard engine but after talking to a mate his been building a engine. For his fiesta xr2 which he no longer wants with stage 3 head,fast road Kent cam, new crank and bearings but I will replace pistons so I can run more boost with mfi management.

right quick update after having a chat with the twins the car shell is to far gone with rust and i would be forever chasing it plus the project will take longer than what i want.
They told me about a shell which ive manged to do a great deal on which has had loads of work done bye them and dave jordan which is perfect for what i want the rollcage is not in the car.
