well, personally i am not a huge fan of hondas. You see a lot of hondas out there, some show, and some go, but you never see an original escort. I would keep the escort, turn it into a show car, and have some fun with it. escorts are a little bit harder to find parts for but thats what makes them such a good canidate for a project. Do what ever seems best for you, but if you do decide to go for the escort, check these places out for parts
