I too used a Scorpio (Cosworth) for my donor although my car isn't exactly a Haynes roadster. Most of it is usable, front uprights need a larger diameter mushroom insert otherwise its the same. My rear uprights are a slight variation on the Haynes design, you can see the basics of what I did on my blog-ish site in my sig. Diff is the same as far as I'm aware. I'm using the Granny steering column and rack but then as I said mine isn't a haynes chassis so you'd probably be better going for the Mk2 Escort job as per book.

Anything you don't need you can try to dispose of via evil bay but I found there was little interest in much of it and after three abortive attempts to sell my bonnet I gave in and skipped it. I still have quite a bit of the Granny on shelves.
