Before you do that, consider the price that complete rear quarters go for. Get a big grinder, cut both rear quarters out and list them on ebay. Then take the rest to the crushers.

ritio, where should i cut? id go through to boot etc, but how high upp the pillar? how far towards the front?

Cut through the top of the B and C pillars just below the roof. Cut through the sills in the door opening. Then cut through the rear panel, rear scuttle and floorpan. It's a bit of work to get them out but worth it. I've got a pick of a Mk2 rear panel cutout. I'll see if i can find it.

Thats it after i butchered it.

You also cut the floor panel so the wheel wells are intact.

Ah yeah cheers. is there much of a demand for them??

Always. People don't normally scrap 2 door shells and the replacement parts are worth a fortune if you import them.

Have a look at www.steelpanels.co.uk and price a new rear quarter for a mk1.

Where about's are you?
I need a roof repair section for a sunroof that I want to get rid of.
If I give you measurements of where I need you to cut & then freight it? I am in Melbourne.

i'm down in moe, about an hour and half east of the city, you could alway come down for a drive?

And fordsy, i wouldn't normally scrap anything, especially an escort, but i don't really have the room for it and i couldn't even give it away for free, and that was with the doors glass and diff still in there. thats the only reason it is going to the wreckers.

Ok that's not bad a drive. Can we chat? PM me please.
