all you can use off the escort is the engine and the steering wheel. the rest needs to come from a sierra

Should be able to use the engine management fairly easily though.
But as Ash says, not a lot olse. MK5's are gettign rare now so if it's in reasonable nick you may be able to sell if and get a more suitable doner and a few pennies from the proceeds. TT

nothing just needs a small patch under the rear passenger sill, MOT and Tax.

Well you may make more breaking it, but a lot less effort finding a new home.
