Hi... welcome to the madhouse!
Please put your location in your profile, it helps a lot when offering help etc.
Most people are not using escort parts as Escorts are desirable and rebuildable classics nowadays.
I bought a new Escort rack from Rallydesign.co.uk, and used a Sierra Column, although you could use any column with a bit of messing about.
I would not be building from the original ron champion book. I would go for the New Haynes Roadster, as it has better options and none of the errors
in the original book. This will save you a lot of grief by not working to the old books.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

It depends on donor if you are going to try and go for age related and use as many parts as possible.
I used MX5 engine, box, loom, steering column and stalks with Sierra shortened rack. The column required some alteration to fit as I wanted but
nothing too serious.
