Looking at it, then the front chassis legs are possibly bent. The inner wings will be buckled.
The Escort RELIES on those for it's rigidity and safey in a frontal.
The bits stuck on top will make it COSMETICALLY look Ok, but it's a potential death trap just awaiting a frontal 
Sadly replacement front chassis legs ( cos you need to weld it back into teh passenger floor ) are difficult to get, but not impossible.
No idea what engine. If it's an 1800 Cossie then it's worth saving. If it's an 1100 then walk away and learn to enjoy having your legs.
