Default rwd mk4 escort

hey all just brought an 80 spec escort and the shell is about 99% mint only a little bit of bubble round the roof, checked all the floor pans and boot and its never bin welded, was thinking of just wacking in a zvh turbo, but now i wanna go down the rwd route, and was wondering firstly is there any companys that will just fabricate the engine, rear beam, diff, gearbox mountings, and a rough price of it, if not just a company name and where abouts,


also a bit of a vote really what people think i shoud do with it i.e

put it back to an original xr3i (concours)
2l zvh turbo, turbo rep
or rwd sleeper

thanks

also i was going to just cut the floor out of a sierra for the tunnel, and weld up the new chassis rails for the rear beam, but as ive got hardly any tools its a bit awkward
