www.kamtec.co.uk used to make escort shells for mini stocks i think, keep an eye on ebay too, i dont think you can buy a kit with an escort shell any more.
i got a mk1 and a box arched RS2000 but not mounted em on a chassis yet. i'll get round to it soon as i find a couple of cheapo cars, be good for turbosport meets!
actually i'll turn this into an appeal for a couple of rc chassis, wheelbase needs to be around 8 or 9 inches but i can modify em, if i can get enough bits to get em going i'll bring em to meets and let you all play with em, promise! L
Try these people

just been on the kamtec site and they have added a load of new stuff, including a 69 charger and a mk1 granada!
lol i know i was havin a look at them....
still want a mark one escort shell cos my mate got a focus shell and i want to beat it!!
I believe the MK1 shell will fit on the tamyia mini chassis, thou that is Front wheel drive. Got a new shell for my Golf Vr6 before xmas still havnt had chance to paint it up thou.
Some days we are the flies, some days we are the windscreen.
How about a mardave V12? You can buy tyhe full chassis with motor new for about £40

trouble with them chassis is no suspension, so you need a very flat car park and you have to sweep all the stones up, no good if you cant take your escort on a gravel stage is it????
would you know anywhere where i can buy ready prepped shells 1/10th scale for a mark one escort? cos i cant be arsed to do it myself am lazy! lol
hi mate if you go on ebay and tape hpi tamya traxxas
what scale are those shells? I want the X-Pack RS 2000!!!
would love a mk 2 flat front, anyone seen any on their travels?
just checked where i got mine from...he only got mark ones...
you can have his ebay shop if you want? just send me a pm

Have a look at this ebay shop they sell mk1 shells to fit onto a TL01 chassis etc, also do a light set as well as stickers etc you'll need the 200mm ones by the way

Ill have to put some pics up of the shells ive done for customers, just finished a wicked el' camino pickup
I quite fancy doing a mk1, i wonder if 3d Dave could print off some decent decals from his 3d model
I sent "Somebodies" a message about MK2 escort bodies and they said they are working on it and will be available soon \o/
Is there somewhere you can get wheels for them ? Must be someone doing Minilite style wheels, cos they used to use them on the Tamiya Mini Cooper.
yeah thats right, it was for the Tamiya mini and MX5, they were smaller then standard rims tho
you cant get minilite wheels at all from anywhere that are to scale. the mini ones are a lot smaller than normal 1/10 scale wheels. only way is to make your own....which i think is pretty hard lol
I got my shell from somebodies as well.... its a pretty good shell...decals are a bit poor tho. gonna get some made up and printed soon. Its all work in progress...when its finished will put some pics up
