Kudos to you! I chopped my RS2000 up to fit a 320hp Saab turbo engine! Stripped it out etc… full grp4… people think I’m mad!! I love the look and handling of a mk2 RS, but let’s face it, they couldn’t pull the skin off a bowl of custard nowadays!!! Do you my friend!! ❤
You're more than welcome Andy! Phenomenal build and hats off to your for having the vision and guts to cut up an original Mexico. Thank you for allowing us to film it :D
Hello Andy, at the moment, I'm building a similar escort in Germany and like you I am planning to put the Capri rear wing on it. Sadly I can only find the one with the whole for the key. Is there a special version of it without a hole or did you just order this carbon wing somewhere and they removed the hole? Cheers
@@brainlessfish You know I absolutely love your motor bud, but the only thing I don't like is the yellow tyre lettering! Congrats on the feature, dude! Looks ace on the move!! Cheers. Leigh (@vauxfordturbo).
@@theoriginalwallace Hahaha, cheers Leigh. I put them on, then changed my mind myself, but by that time it was too late, so its something that I will live with until the tyres are changed
Awesome car, followed a lot of your previous videos after seeing pics of it somewhere else. Can I ask how you went about designing and making the front lights? We're building a big spec 205 Maxi at the moment and I'd love to do some custom lights so any pointers would be great. Amazing work.
I like the ducktail rear spoiler. Not sure about the rest. More into the Group 4 and Modified Rally Escorts. As I have friends who rally them. Not into show ponies.
Hats off to you fcuk the rest of the world that’s your car not set by anyone else’s standards or opinions love it 😂 built because you blew it up brilliant
Some love it, others hate it. Always good to have a little background music. We'll try and make a better choice in the future. Glad you liked the car, it's a fantastic build.
Love it, stance is awsome, wont one. 😊

@@junglingmitapfel2902 Hi, sorry, had not seen your message until now. Do you mean the rear ducktail spoiler?
@@brainlessfish Tank you for your reply! Yes I am searching for this kind of ducktail spoiler.
@@junglingmitapfel2902 Hi, ok I found it, its a Rocket Bunny style wing for a Toyota Corolla KE70 4 door 79-83 Hope this helps!
I think those rear lights are absolute genius! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks Simon 😂❤
Totally agree
I love it, my favourite MK2 Escort.
Love it . Feel like it needs a front grille though .
Front grill was printed & finished 2 weeks after this was filmed 😂 unfortunately I just ran out of time

Absolutely amazing 👌👌👌
Bonkers build 🤯 love it!
very impressive job well done
Now that sounds lush, and it really controls some governance, also a great style of video, thank you.
Thanks man 🧡
What a build 🔥🔥
It's a beauty!
If you don’t mind me asking what glue did you use to attach the tyre letters thanks
Comes with the kit, but its just superglue 👍
Lovely motor 👌
We agree!
Pretty interesting and cool video about this insane build 😎
Thanks! 😁
Awesome 👏🏻
Awesome car. I'm not a big fan of fast Ford's but this is very very cool. Sweeeeeet
Thanks dude!

Do you mean the headlights? or the DRL/Indicator? Happy to help, just message me on IG 👍
What a damn cool Mexico.. But during the engine explanation, that loud chat in the background makes it almost impossible to follow what he was saying
It was at Silverstone so there was a lot going on outside, including a drift competition, plus thousands of people at Trax
Exactly what The_Mexorcist said.
You fckn legend .....she is amazing ..well done 🤘👊
He certainly is a bit of a legend. This car just keeps on getting better and better!
Nice.
Thanks!
Poor Escort!!!
(Im guessing you’ve probably spent about a 100k so far on this) so are you still married mate? 😂🤣
🫣🤫😂
I like the ducktail rear spoiler.
Not sure about the rest.
More into the Group 4 and Modified Rally Escorts. As I have friends who rally them. Not into show ponies.
😂😂 It’s ok, you don’t have to like every iteration or Grp of Escort 🙌🏻🧡
When it’s back together let’s see how much of a show pony this is 😆
£600 35 years ago? Ouch mate! They saw you coming didn’t they ha ha! (Just joking, I think it’s fabulous 👍)
Pffft 😂 well, it was actually £500 but I also had to pay the rent he owed on storage 😂
Hats off to you fcuk the rest of the world that’s your car not set by anyone else’s standards or opinions love it 😂 built because you blew it up brilliant
😂😂😂🧡
Paris Hilton got it wrong, it’s that bad 😂
Much like an air rifle shot this has gone clean over my head 🤷🏻♂️
Lovely car, but is there any need for the annoying music in the background
Some love it, others hate it. Always good to have a little background music. We'll try and make a better choice in the future. Glad you liked the car, it's a fantastic build.
Incredible build. Just horrendous taste re the aesthetics like a max power disaster
Each to their own and all that. Marmite for sure but as long as the owner likes it, it doesn't really matter.
test again mercedes ft ferrari , the best sold out in Dubai , you like even send file office plus fire truck
Gave this one a thumbs down for ruinin it
Just letting ya know
OmG yOUvE RuiNiN [sic] A cLaSSiC 🤣 Happy to offend 👋
You absolutely ruined that car , it's looks like it's crashed into the Halfords
“into the Halfords” pahahahahahahahaha happy to offend 🙌🏻👍🏻🧡
I would choose this over a standard Mexico or any escort any day it's a peace of art and halford's more Like harrods
Go buy a standard one then. Bell end 🔔🔚
Too many added on bits that look to modern
You cant please everyone 100% of the time, and thats cool 🤘 It is a restomod though, not a restoration 👍
@@brainlessfish that’s true, I’m not keen on the modern lights and the wing vents👍
According to you !
As he says in the video he didn't build it to impress anyone. He built it for himself
@@MrBrohoward71 did he aye
