Hello Mitch, followed your channel for a while and always look forward to your show review as it gives a real feel for Ford Fair. I was there again this year so checked the stand out. Well done as it shows your hard work is paying off. You just come across as a genuine lad with a real love of all things blue oval. I’m more from the old skool generation but also have an ST180 as a daily driver. Look forward to the next vids and keep up the good work mate. 👍🏻
Great video again Mitch, would love to have my Fiesta 3.5 turbo build on your stand. Still a work in progress at the moment. Keep the fantastic content coming 👍
@@Mk2Mitch In my case it´s the reverse only later in life i drove a van with FWD, but had a tracion avant like the dupond and dupond car, but don´t compare the ford escort van with the Fiat mirafiori or 131 1600 from late 70´s ,you only had to turn ,if the pavement was stones ,cubes like in the early 1900´s and humid
Great video again Mitch thanks again for the time you give to all the great classics and of course to those who have taken the time and the expense to restore these gems so that people of my generation that once owned these cars can still enjoy the memory's.
I recently posted a question on one of you're videos and you did answer me so respect for that . Sorted the issue out anyways . Can't wait to get my fiesta st a little more up to scratch and attend a ford fair myself 👌 love ford's even when they leak 😂
I’ve been working on the escort a lot recently, mainly removing the underseal from the underside. It’s a long and monotonous task but hopefully it will be done soon 👍🏻
The engine in the yellow/orange van, looks like it's from an Escort RS1600i as they had that finned rocker cover. What an engine the RSi had. Solid lifters, forged pistons and a higher lift cam that the standard XR3i was not fitted with. I'm also the RSi had a limited slip gearbox. Love that orange van and your fiesta too! Great video man!
A lot of the cars shown, are just run of the mill and not worth a look in the day! Currently they are great survivors and and now worth a look! So thanks for posting your vids Mitch!
Your welcome and very true! People would scrap these Old Ford’s without batting a eyelid. Now people are paying silly prices for parts to keep them on the road 😎
i had a ford from late 50´s english model but all the finishings were just like the fairlane it drove till the mid 90´s it had a engine but powerfull and if you jump on top of the car with an all star snikers it would make your feet hurt, no harm done to the top of the car and i really tried, a really confortable car but when you turned all the people in the back and front seat would go and smash the last in the direction turned, once i lost the steering wheel due to the weight on the turn, i would like to know what acr was ,a sedan long seats in the back and front ,and the chomed iron tube in the back of the front seat with an ashtrey so one could grab it for safety ,one speaker in the front ,other in the back with a fgolden grill and one am radio coming from the iron dash ,outside was black
Hi Mitch can I be cheeky and ask if you can ask the guy who owns the red mk2 pinto turbo as I have a mk2 escort with a 2.0L Pinto EFI Engine and I am look for a strut brace for mine as the normal strut brace will not fit due to the injection chamber being slightly higher than the struts and looking at the turbo one has one that goes around the back of it I would be interested in where he purchased it from and would be grateful on any information about it
Sorry I’ve got some new microphones I’m getting to grips with! It’s only coming out of one side at a time either Left or Right. This has been fixed now but unfortunately this video has got a slight audio bug!
Best video so far! Excellent work!

I’m glad you managed to get the problem sorted mate! Roll on Ford Fair 2024? 😎
@@Mk2Mitch CAN'T WAIT MATE !
Love the video but can you do more videos on you working on your MK2 escort ❤
I’ve been working on the escort a lot recently, mainly removing the underseal from the underside. It’s a long and monotonous task but hopefully it will be done soon 👍🏻
Not a Marcus Hayes in site sounds like him on the track 😅😅. Thank you mitch awesome.
Cheers mate, they were definitely sending it!

That’s some very interesting information! I didn’t know there were so many upgrades to the RS1600i engine 👌🏻
@@Mk2Mitch Yeah, the engine had some very trick parts as did the actual car! Great video man!

Those were mk3 Escort vans weren't they? Both absolutely beautiful. Great video as per Mitch
yes they were Mk3 Escort vans with those front ends.
Yes your correct! My mistake 👍🏻
@Mk2Mitch in your defence, pretty much all of the parts I buy for my mk4 are mk3 haha

Hello mate, I’ve just had a chat to him about the strut brace and he fabricated it up himself 👍🏻
@@Mk2Mitchthanks Mitch I thought so as haven’t seen one before thanks again for taking the time replying to post
What’s up with the audio? Nearly every time you’re talking it goes silent 😢
Sorry I’ve got some new microphones I’m getting to grips with! It’s only coming out of one side at a time either Left or Right. This has been fixed now but unfortunately this video has got a slight audio bug!
@@Mk2Mitch no problem mate .
