Thank you very much , that’s is good hopefully now I have these new microphones everything I now record should be good.

Thank you!

Thank you

Typical Hayden for you won’t see him get his hands dirty 😂

Thank you

Yes very annoying that they rust both side but I don’t think the shaggy carpet helped this time round other then keep the moisture in.

I watch them too! I also watched them do it on the allegro , I have it a try on another car and it does work well with a bit of agitation. Once I’m at that stage I will do it on the escort.

I can confirm it has a 1600 fitted was changed back when it was on the road

So I’m finding out that it’s a very rare car , this is also now a 1600. Got to admit you can’t beat a good old 2.0. Sounds like you had many days of fun working on these old gems. It’s not to bad but more I dig I find more that needs doing

Haha 19 again ☺️

@@BatysGarage I wish I still had my last van, it was somewhat special....I let the 1600 move to a farm in the country, and replaced it with the V6 and front to back drivetrain from an RS2600 Capri, with the aid of a Sprintex supercharger bolted to it, it was somewhat of a handful with a 3.07 final in the diff, I did get it up to 288kph at one point.....that was scary in a 1979 model van. Silly things we did as young men....good way to spend $15,000 in 1989 though.... I'm betting, being British built, it will be MOSTLY assembled with 1/2" bolts, I could pull most of mine to pieces with a 1/2 inch, 12mm and 13mm socket, two screwdrivers and a hammer.

@@bitemykrank1970 I bet that was a handful back in the day 😂 I got a cortina with a 2.8 v6 in it I think that drives loads better with the weight torque now

Must be a rare one then 👌🏻

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks you, yes we do have a laugh most days, dad doesn’t often come up but when he does he loves a good laugh

It was late registration due to being a military vehicle, which is where it come from before the owner purchased it.

You know Hayden? Yes finally getting some work done on it , I’ve just got the mg back on the road too

I know cars are not fun anymore at all, can get everything off and engine box out of an old car in that time!

Yea not terrible but needs enough work to get it good again

Its a very nice find, its not the best but we are getting there with it.

Thats the plan mate we have made a start on it but mainly just removing parts and getting welding done so far. The owner wants to keep it how he had it years ago.

@@BatysGarage These cars were allways such good looking rides. Those engines are nice. They run forever. I hope one day you will be able to buy it.

Come up well with just a hose and some fairy lol

Its one of them back in the day there was loads about so no one thought about it like that.

Thank you, very nice 😀. Thats the plan! 👍

Did you enjoy it there, i think would of, cars where so much more simple back then. Thank you glad you enjoyed it

@@BatysGarage Yes loved every minute of it, I'm now retired but still love working on cars especially classics 60s to 90s

@@aswclassicsiow8588 very nice! The best cars where made during that time imo

Awesome, thank you!🙏

Glad you like it

its not done to bad!

@@BatysGarage My first car was a Mk2 estate, on an 'S' plate, that too was a 1.3. It was always a bit of a shame that rust was built into the design yet the Kent engine was very durable, especially in standard tune. At the Riley rally in Coventry some years ago i saw a quite well made Riley special that had been built up from a fire damaged saloon. All the alloy parts of the Riley 9 engine had melted so the guy had re-engined it with a Kent engine and gearbox, with bespoke engine mounts. Made a decent job of it, and it must have been a bloodysight easier changing gear with one of the nicest 'boxes ever to be made. I hope you car isn't too bad underneath.

@@thephilpott2194 Yes for sure most cars of that era didnt last long in the elements. But the engines where very made. Love the story's. Keep watching the videos if you haven't subscribed already make sure you do as we have loads of videos coming up

🤣🤣🤣

unless it was a cold damp morning lol had alot of 70s fords

@@mrc-by4vp 🤣

yes very spacious car, i dont know would of made sense too

paint is staying going to clean it up then have in redone in the future

It’s not too bad but bad enough , it’s most certainly doable , i have also got new floor pans for it, and rest I have fabricated on it

The more I cut the worse it gets 😅

Fords have gone crazy over the years. Hopefully we will get it done soon for him to enjoy!

Sounds like a good colour combo, cant beat old skoool, im not clued up with years im afraid

The MK 2 was still made until 1980, and dealers still had them for sale until they were all sold,

@@aswclassicsiow8588 good bit of information there! Thank you

Very cool car and different, yes keep it way it is make is safe and usable , we should have really was limited to tools etc

@BatysGarage guys their are plenty of other channels on here that can use basic tools to repair cars. Many of them give great advice I look forward to watching the videos on this escort am a new subscriber too. In hindsight wish I hadn't of broken up my share of mk1 estates keeping my 2dr saloon on the road like many mk1's they were just unloved old bangers in the 80's but I absolutely loved em still do🤩

@@marciabaldwin2506 Yes i know was bad setup from us but we was only pulling it out to clean it and see how bad it was and got a bit carried away. Thanks for the subscribe! Yea i can imagine you are gutted but like you say they just was old bangers then.

100% todays engines are garbage

​@@BatysGarageI agree I am a fan of classic Fords though I can't actually drive myself I remember these mark 2 Escort estates I think judging by the year I was 9 years old at the time in 1980 as a interesting story a neighbour near me where I live drives around daily in a MK2 cortina 1600 estate another classic ford to my mind 😊

@@stephenchecksfield632 Got to love a old ford, Young one then 😀. Nice mk2 dont see many about these days, i have a cortina mk5 myslef i will have to do a video of it.

Hopefully it comes out well. i said the same about a 2.0 but he wants to keep it as it as a through back

@@BatysGarage thats fine for me there are three types of restoration , like factory , resto mod and balls out RS the fecker , his choice 😁

@@firsteerr yes im with you on them 😉

Thank you , keep a eye on the channel where i will be uploading us getting it back on the road. Always good isnt it

i like the estates and the vans dare to be different

She's a beauty

Thank you , keep a eye on the channel where i will be uploading us getting it back on the road

I would of thought so

Yes it is

If it’s been military as he said may not be a true x reg it may have had military number and as far as I’m aware the last mk2 were on a w reg

Truck man’s correct

@@BatysGarage not true there was hand full of y regs I’m talking like maybe 200 cars

@@deanplant1500 this one is ex military was originally black why it was sprayed like this to match his mk1 estate

Much easier than todays rubbish

No laptop or degree needed 😂

Thank god 😅

simple is the way such a pleasure to work on

Yea keep a eye on the channel you will see it has plenty of that

Yes old school fords never die
