Now we’re talking, proper motor retros from my youth, can’t wait to see this completed.
Stewart is well clever with bodywork. He is the doctor of bodywork. Brilliant.
You pay for top quality work, and it's well worth the wait. The results will be all the more incredible, probably one of the best examples available in the country when done.
Bodywork being done properly is an absolute artform. Once painted it'll look beter than new.
No apologies needed Rob, he's done an amazing job, a true craftsmans workmanship. Wait till its painted, you'll be like a kid at Christmas time.
That body guy is a genius like Chris. Fantastic repairs and cant wait to see the series 1 finished.
Amazing craftsmanship.
That car is going to be amazing when it's finished.
Can't wait.
I owned one for 15 years, C950 JGN and god, do I wish I still had it now, regretted ever selling it. She’s still about, absolute credit to the present owner, has had a full nut & bolt rebuild and is absolutely stunning. Fabulous work on this so far Rob, can’t wait to see her when it’s finished, love it 👍🏻
Keep your Lambos and Ferrari's this is a real Supercar. Proper working class hero. 👍 Stuart did some nice work on it, the Quality of his work speaks for itself. 👍
The old saying you gets what you pays for comes to mind. Great to see an old classic Ford sorted to Rolls Royce standards. This will be an absolute classic when its finished.
Well done to you Rob for restoring this, and to your excellent body work guy.
Cheers, Bob
Some people are tremendously gifted. Fantastic craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Not even an RS Turbo fan, but that work is top drawer. Lovely. That fella will be fascinating when he comes out of his shell and gets on camera 😀
Rob no wonder you waited so long for this guy to do the body work on this fabulous little motor, his workmanship is second to none 😊 love all of the early fast ford's. It takes me back to the favourite decade of my life, the music, cars, fashion and happy life was brilliant. Can't wait to see it all done 🙌 it was a lovely surprise video again fellas, take care and stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Saturday's video 📹 already 😊 ✨.
Congrats to Stuart to his attention to detail, thanks Rob for the narration and camera work 👍
Can’t wait to see this one painted. Bodywork is so good, after seeing it in the first video on the truck it’s amazing.
Hello Rob, how good of you to keep the chap who is doing the bodywork identety private, some respect there! What a wonderful job he is doing with such skills! I am sure you will be very pleased with the final paint finish!! Great to watch! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
Stuart is the right man for the job, The fact that they restore these cars 'day in day out' just shows in the standard of the work so far. I will admit that I thought this might have been put in your garage and left as you are so busy with your normal work but I am glad you found a way to get it done. The dashboard is in good condition and will be worth saving. Thanks for the video Rob and Chris have a good rest of the week. 👍👍
no worries about not showing the body guy, great video and fantastic to see the progress!
Fantastic restoration , probably takes many of us back to our youth that escort, cannot wait to see the next video, fantastic video rob well put together, absolutely well done.
Watched every second of this! Top work - Stuart’s passion obviously.
Really interested to see how the dashboard is fixed when you get to it. Thanks again.
I'd forgotten about this escort. Nice to see progress. What a great job and it's good to respect his wish not to be on camera.
In the eighties, the company where I worked hired a software company and one of the directors had one of these. We used to go out in it at lunchtime looking for real ale pubs. Tough job but someone had to do it 😊. I remember the suspension being rock hard but it went like stink.
He swopped the escort for a sapphire cosworth which was also a great car and he took me with him to watch the RAC rally on a number of occasions when it was a proper rally.
Brilliant memories of great times.
😃😃👍
That bodywork bloke is a genius at his work top man must be another Chris
You're taking us on the journey of a classic quality rebuild, totally worth the video, you can't skimp on quality workmanship but you already know that!
Big call out to unsung, talented workers like Stuart.
This body/paint pro treats that "old Escort" like it was a brand-new Ferrari...the hallmark of a true craftsman! They say 99.9% of a good paint job is the prep. It's a tedious, dusty, noisy and time-consuming job to take a car down to bare metal, but your guy did it. His body patches/welding are beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product! I'll bet the paint finish will look like glass, and will look so deep you could almost fall into it.
Perfection can not be rushed
Full restoration 😮😲🫨 Amazing work lads 👍
I do love to see an expert at their work!
Love to see that you guys are living up to your name.
A lot of people would have walk away from this....
But as you say, it's a classic and needs a bit of TLC.
Looking good so far, can't wait for the next vid'
Well done.👍👌👍👌
What a top car that is going to be. I love how much respect you have for other craftsmen, leaving him to it and not putting any pressure on him.
Amazing work! There's no substitute for pure skill and experience. It shows that you are well happy with it.
Nice to see a proper classic being put back on the road. Super video
What an absolute labour of love Rob, she's already a stunner. A real artiest at work. Can't wait to see her finished.
Fabulous work by stuart. His skill set is amazing. Hope he has an apprentice to carry it on. Cant see this kind of work being done on a nissan leaf in 30 years so we have to enjoy it now and relive our youth while we can. Thaks lads. Enjoy the weather!!🌞👍
Great progress folks, she's looking much more respectable! Props to Stuart; another pro at work there 👍
These have been my dream cars for many years. Can’t wait until this is finished
Hi rob , Stewart done a great job lot of hard work, can't wait till its done, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Great work on the body, looking brilliant. Looking forward to the paint video. From my youth. 👍👍👍👍👍
Top tier craftsmanship on show there. Look forward to the next instalment.
What a job, absolute master of his craft
Can you imagine the convos between Chris and Stewart? I'm pretty sure they would be speaking a different language from us mere mortals.
A proper job done rob can’t wait to see it finished well done guys
Rob you can’t go wrong with a classic Ford build - and so near to Essex too! Can’t wait to see this one come alive! 🤣😂 thank you Rob & Chris for agreeing to spend the wonga on it. 👍
Your friend Stuart has proper maestro hands and skills, I just love watching a true professional plying his trade the top guys make it look so easy, cracking post guys
Love this, one of the original and proper fast Fords, going to be an outstanding car when finished, loving your attention to detail, and beautiful prep work, looking forward to seeing more progress
Has Stuart already been on the Salvage Rebuilds attention to detail course , great work from a highly skilled guy , most painters and prep for paint guys can't be bothered putting the time into a job like this , it's going to be a bobbie dazzler when it's all done 😉
A true craftsman at work here, superb finish in primer, a dream for the guy who is going to apply the finish coats. I remember these cars from the 80’s. My mate had one and let me driver it, lovely motors. Great content 😎🇬🇧👍
Brilliant workmanship fits in with the team can’t wait to see end job .👍👍👍
STUART. Needs to have an AKA. "Stuart Potter Car Gini". Fantastic work and a credit to the rebuild. Industry/ 🛠🛠👍👍
What a fantastic job Rob 👍🏻
Love it mate. I wish I could afford to give this detail to my landy. Great job.
Ohhhh wow unbelievably amazing can’t believe how nice it looking well nice and ready we’ll done guys looking forward to seeing this one done and rolling on the road 👊🏻👊🏻😁😁
Great job Stuart
This is going to look brand new when it's done. Stuart is a bodywork genius, props to him. This will be worth serious money when finished, I'd want to keep it 100 percent. Old Fords that I've had, (76 mark 2 Escort, 68 mark 1 Escort to name two) and I see what they fetch now is just mind boggling, and I so wish that I had them. Fantastic video as usual guys.
That Stuart guy is a genius fair play to him great progress on the car 💪💪💪
It's going to look fantastic Always wanted a S1. Top job as always
Proper Job! Looking forward to seeing it finished!
Brings back so many memories, a late friend of mine owned one. The series 1 just signified the eighties.
What a cracking job that’s gonna be one hell of a car when finished
Was well excited to see this S1 video and cannot wait for next video. Body repair work looks top notch 👍
That's going to be a lovely motor again. Stuart is a master at his craft too, quality work indeed.
Rob. What a treasure you have there. I also have the same model that Chris bought for you and i have also just purchased the RS1600i from the same model maker - its my hummingbird. Regarding Stuart appearing on camera, why not let him see the early ‘appearances’ of chris compared to how he is now on camera. The change is actually amazing! Can’t wait for the next update.
Hello Rob and Chris, Stuart (or Stewart) is one skilled guy. The car will look great when it is finished. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Just woke up, its my 55th birthday today, once completed of course ill take it free of charge lol, well done to all
perfection no words needed
All coming together nicely! Good work takes time but it'll be worth it in the end 😊 good luck to you Rob not that you'll need it!
Probably my favourite car of all time. I wish I'd kept my 1986 c plate custom pack. But theye where infamous for being a death trap, saw a few wrapped around trees. Torque Steer was horrendous, it would pull one way, you'd compensate by steering the opposite direction then hit a bump and head off across the road... Still it was the love of my life at one time. That dashboard brings back memories...
I was pleasantly surprised at how great it is under the paint, considering how eighties cars like to rust.fantastic work.
Had a fantastic school trip around the Escort line at Halewood in the 70s.
he's knocked that bodywork outta the ballpark top job.👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
WHAT A JOB!!! BRILLIANT. ❤
Prep work looks superb,hats off to Stuart,nice one chaps 👍😉💪
Beautiful car Rob, great job on the bodywork too. Cant wait to see it in paint.....
Bloody brilliant can’t wait to see it painted
These guys that have the skill set to repair these old classics to what will be show room condition are real artisans. What a job. So glad you had the pictures as he progressed.
Yes rob 👍, that is a city nice straight mk3 now great video , can’t wait to see it painted. Good luck guys 👍👍
Stuart is a craftsman clearly - a man it will be handy to know for the future
Loving this build guys a iconic car from my youth, I had a mk2 RS turbo in white this brings back so many memories.
Me to mate did you think like you were the dogs b******s?
@@andrewstratford4753 absolutely mutts nuts 🥜
Really good to see such work, very interesting to see how well you have condensed the progress, cannot wait to see finished item.
Top notch work enjoyable seeing the transformation. 😎😎😎
This takes me back to 1993. Delbert. An enterprising delivery guy, had a Mark 1 RS Turbo. He said, and I quote him exactly, ‘Howard. I am sick and tired of Essex Police stripping it down. So I’ve got myself, a Funky Moped’. It was like a herbal Deliveroo
Fantastic work done on the car to get it ready for paint. Really looking forward to future videos to see this classic all come together. One of my favourite cars of the 80s.
You certainly found the right person there for the job Rob, total credit to him. You love the old RS escorts!!
Great work. Stewart! All very interesting.
I’ve only just watched the video on the Ford Escort, a paint job looks amazing. It should look amazing once it’s finished all back together good work guys
Prep work looks outstanding ....looking forward to seeing this painted 👍👍👍👍
Stuart has done amazing
Out of all the cars I’ve owned The series one was my favourite always left me with a smile on my face
All the hard work is in the prep, it'll pay in the end when you stand back and look at it, having said that, I can't wait to see it in colour, so hurry up please 😊
Coming together now, really happy for you rob you've worked hard you deserve it 👍
Great video guys. Really enjoyed this one. Can’t wait to see it in paint 👍
Absolutely fantastic workmanship. Can’t wait to see it when it’s painted. 👏🏼
Hello Rob, great progress on the Escort S1 RS so far,with the new wheel arch and prepping the body for primer,can't wait for the paint to go on.
KEEPER ! It’ll turn more heads than the Lambo !…(As lovely as it was) Owned a few of these “back in the day” when I was in the trade. Wonderful memories, wishing you many years of fun and pleasure in this beauty !
Yes MUCH more special than any Lamborghini in my opinion! 👍🇬🇧
You can tell the way that car has been done the guy's a class act. Keep us all updated o this one Rob. 👍
