That reaction from Chris is priceless... what a nostalgic sound that dump valve is :D
Agree 😝
thanks for the reply been looking on SA auto trader thinking of importing some cars
You have to paint it Rob. We've been following this car for ages and it would be a shame to not see the proper end result.
Laughed so much at Chris's reaction to dump valve. 🤣
The crinkly A pillar interior trims, I remember replacing them under warrenty, takes me right back to when I was a 18 year old RS mechanic. Happy Times, we never realised at the time how nice those cars where to work on.
When you showed steering slop, I thought the rack moved rather than the ball and cup part, clearly a good call to replace the rack. The brake pipe was a trial, corrosion and vibration make you work in difficult locations. Your smile, when it was all done, told the real story of joy and achievement.
I remember my grandad doing the tracking with a broom handle, and got it checked at the garage, and it was spot on. 😀 The good 'ol days.
have done the same with a jig made of 3x2 and 2 long wood screws to touch the inside of the rims rotate 180 degrees measure and adjust Took for free check and it was spot on! lol!
@@squeakmillward - Every time I've taken my car for a free check they take it out of sight go under the car and it's out every time.
@@lukey3507 Just a Kerching ! for the fast fit garages to get their monthley bonus :-(
I remember my dad used to do everything to his MK2 R.S 2000 when we were kids. He’d do his own break pads, oil changes, tracking everything. Hes 70 and retired ad he said he wouldn’t dare touch a modern car now. Give him a old Ford, Rover or Vauxhall he’ll do the lot.
Chris' reaction... I think he secretly loves that dump valve and he was 19 all over again!!
Great to see it back on the road and Chris's reaction was brilliant. Well done guys
Love this lads. Great reaction by chris. Get it all done and painted. And all those silly bits changed. They be queuing up the road for it.👍
Great to see that RS again guys, and finally with an MOT,, love watching your video's, keep them coming 👍
That’s not just an escort! That’s a classic! Props to the restoration, im proper enjoying your videos. Keep up the content. You two are living legends
Wasn’t an RS Turbo for me, but a silver XR4i, loved that car. Had so much fun with it, almost cried the day I sold it!
every fliipping 80s ford ive ever had sold for bugger all is now priced sky high... im still crying !!
@@abc33944 know how you feel, had the chance to buy Capri 280 in 1993 for 5k. Wish I could turn back time☹☹
It's great to see a beautiful RS Turbo in such safe hands guys.
Beautiful car !
I absolutely love the fact it’s got a dump valve on it , cracking video rob 🚙 💨
Hi Rob and Chris, great to see that Escort back on the road, it's not just an Escort, it's a classic Escort, whole different league
Wow, what a gem that is, and great news to have a clean MOT on it, loved the dump valve, but agree it needs to come off and be out back to standard. Great work, and love the escort
Great position to be in with this car. The MOT could have been a much bigger hurdle. Well done Rob.
Perfect timing just sat down after a days work
Great Chris reaction to the dump valve! Smashing content Rob, loved your enthusiasm for the old Escort RS.
Absolutely love it. You’re putting so many smiles on so many faces. I remember the 80s and all the Ford classics.
Well worth swapping that steering rack out for £60 Rob! Keep up the great work!
Edd China did a great explanation of tracking recently.
Chris’s dump valve oh no!!!!
Rob that escort did give you the biggest smile from ear to ear !!
Re living your youth.
Enjoyed watching you working on it, well done good video as always.
Love the vids guys some of those motors take me back 30 years ,when I had a Mrk2 Escort Mexico bright orange roll cage bucks the works .
Wish I still had it now
Chris sounds like my mum when I used to take her shopping in my old motor. Enjoy the motor and don't forget the NafNaf jacket...... LOL 😂
Those jackets take me back and those Fat Willy's window stickers
Nafnaf jackets now I am feeling old.😄
Do you remember Spliffy Jackets and Eclipse Jeans etc. Damn im getting old as dirt 😂😂
@@poohbear8012 had a eclipse t shirt lol 😂 and don't forget global hyper colour.
@@paulmartin4971 The memories' time sure does fly by wore the eclipse jeans I thought I was the sheeet. 😂😂
Make it stock and original, get all the paint done , and keep it for yourself rob , call it a reward for all the great content 👍🏻
That's what I was thinking. With the memories and nostalgia, it's obviously much more than another project.
Keep it Rob.
Take it to shows and geek out with other RS enthusiasts.
You can drive round Essex and play your CD in the sunshine 😁
You know you want to 😀😀👍
Why not go the whole hog and go full concourse on it 😁
Ah here lads. I was 17 all over again watching you size up the rod ends and brake pipes. Exactly how I was taught. Great and happy memories. Thanks so much for that video.
Another great video on the RS, reminds me of when I was a kid and used to get a lift home from school with a mate and his parents had a RS turbo.
Chris's reaction was golden when he heard that, you knew exactly what he was going to say Rob. 🤣
I know this might seem obvious and maybe there's a good reason why you don't do it, but couldn't you just lay the old and new track rods side by side and work out how far you need to go to get it to the right setting?
Great video as usual lads, thank you. 👌👍
You could bud yes 👍
The disappoint in chris voice after he heard the sound of the car 🤣
Keep doing what you do best
🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Brings back memories of my Fiesta RS Turbo I still regret selling it. Keep up the great work. 👍
@4:55 just as you asked what we thought about the steering rack, I could not take my eyes off the miss-alignment of the driver's door.
Come on guys let's get this beauty back on the road
Yes agree with you 100% percent
" This is gonna be easy"- The nut and bolt Gods begin laughing.
Another super job and a credit to you both. The dump valve brings back fond memories of my FRST and Southend seafront lol. Like you said Rob the simplicity makes these cars so easy to play with!
Robs turned 22 again and one happy chappy.. Great to see that smile mate and so well deserved 👍
What's the brand of oil you guys use? You seem to have a couple of north sea oil fields in old containers there. 😁👍
Lol
Brand new old stock!
It definitely takes me back I had loads of escorts xr3 and RS loved them and so easy to work on . Fantastic job done again lads i
This channel just gets better and better. This motor is such a beauty. Top work as always lads!
Lovely, it brings back so many memories for us
Thanks for the great vid, great seeing newish cars being fixed, but also great seeing the old classics being loved and on the road again, keep up the great work 👍
Looks great brings back so many memories from my younger days 👌
Great to see.
And the dump valve... Marvellous! Brilliant video and enjoy the weekend!
Absolutely loved the video....these RS turbo videos really take me back. Good days
Love Chris’s reaction when you fitted the dump valve. I would keep it on it if and when you come to sell it
Another fabulous and compelling video Rob. Thank you ☺️
That’s all it takes rob to put a smile on your face and take you back a few decades to your youth, even working on the escort you were happy, great to hear Chris,s opinion of the dump valve I couldn’t agree more why on earth would you want to listen to that, looking forward to seeing your next post on this one, ps on our escort you had to put a blanket on it at night in winter and any moisture then it was a nightmare to start, I must have spent as much time pushing it as I did driving it but my wife loved it so it became an adopted family member, and yes she did cry when we finally got rid of it
I was stationed in Germany back in the 90’s and these were all the rage back then.This project has brought back such great memories, so thank you.
We didn’t get this series escort on this side of the pond but great to see it up and running! 👍🇨🇦
My wife used to have one back in the day great to see you have fun and smile a lot
Great to see!! Brings back memories!!
Yes Rob those of us that had a Ford Escort turbo back in the 1980's loved them. One up from an XR3I but I got round that problem and had both cars.
My Escort turbo was a 1987 in diamond white and it was meticulously maintained by me but after 5 years of ownership I sold it on and within 2 weeks it was written off when the new owner hit a bridge. Not uncommon back then for Escort turbo's to be written off in accidents or stolen which is why they are perhaps reasonably scarce these days to find a really good example.
Enjoying the video as it does bring back good memories for me.
Chris is amazing,love you Rob and Chris,best guys on YT!
Great video as always !
Will be great to see it back on the road when it’s finished and hope you make a really good profit on it
You and Chris should be proud of yourself doing that car it takes me back to the 80s and 90s lovely to have a car again that summer or next offering
Sorry just finished ur vid
Always great to watch so thanks for all your time xx
Brings back so many great memories of me and my brother cruising around in my black series 2
Put a smile on my face, great car in its day. Thanks for bringing it back to the channel guys.
Oh the memories . Thanks Chris and Rob for another great vid. Chris your reaction to the dump valve so reminded me of my dad 🤣.
These videos give me the biggest smile as I’ve still got my own S2 although in bits-but not for long !
Great video Rob, I’ve got an XR3i mk4 and don’t take it out enough but it always puts a smile on my face when I do so I know how you feel. Keep up the great work lads
Great video, I'm with you on the dream with the MK1 and know they are big money now . Its great watching the repairs take place and seeing it take shape again. Chris I'm same as you dump valves are not my thing reminds me of some steam engine!.
Just managed to watch video..brought back some great memories...had a rosso red rs turbo for 7 years..still miss it and that was 27 years ago..replaced it with my sapphire cosworrh but couldn't afford to keep both..at least the sapphire has power steering..I remember jumping out of a truck after a lesson and jumping into my turbo with no power steering.. nearly hit a wall...defo dump.the dump valve...I know you will look to sell but keep it long enough to enjoy driving it...the smiles will never get tedious 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Great vid guys! Brings back memories. I had a 1984 Escort GT 1.6 non turbo (Canadian). Not much power but fun to drive.
Haha loved Chris's reaction to the dump valve ... bought back some happy memories for me too rob , great video
Best thing to come out of 2021 is this channel.
Oh and dent was there from before ,when you pulled it out of the shed you said the brothers had drop something on it.
I smile just like you Rob when I'm in my Capri, thanks for a great video !!!
Hi Rob and Chris you can't beat classic Ford Escort yet again a great video thankyou take care both 😊👍🏻
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Seeing you make the brake pipe brought back memories. My 1st ever job was as an inspector in a tube manipulation plant making brake pipes amongst other things . Checking the angles of bends and rotations and distances was a nightmare . We had a thoroughly basic computer to check it all and when you got it right , the operator would pick it up and it all moved for the tube was so flexible! . i expect its so much easier thesedays . i hope!
Love these motors. Glad you guys saved this one.
This is a gurt mint channel! - this does take me back to my youth!!! my first motor was a mk4 Escort. However with a being freshly licensed driver! The closest I had to any thing quick was my parents ‘83 Vauxhall cavalier CDI (1.8i) - quick motor or ride/have ago inmates fast fords stupid enough to pay the high insurance . However MY first car, needed to be sensible and a Ford and in a strange way somehow ended up being a nod to my childhood - surrounded by various mk3/4/5 diesel ford escort vans. My first car ended up being FORD ESCORT 1.6 DL in maroon 5 door hatch - Loved it. So simple to work on. First job within days of car ownership as a young 17 year old chap, new head gasket. So the seller gave me a hand. Only to then find out, once replaced the actual problem being a 15p core plug! Rob and Chris love the videos. (Getting me spanner’s out once more-again, blinking copper injector seal has gone on my mk6 Ford Fiesta 1.4 tdci. It’s old and about to be banned from the city centre, thanks to some muppet at the council, but I love driving it can’t bare to part from it.) - back to the escort - remember It’s not just an Escort, cars back then were unique. Simple. and you soon knew who were the best Ford scrap dealers ford Ford parts.
Great little classic car, looks Amazing now without the paint thanks Rob and Chris 😎 😎
Brings back memories of my red G plate car, probably my favourite car I’ve owned to date as it was iconic back in the day.
Had a lovely tone to the exhaust and a great Turbo whistle.
Thanks for yet another fantastic video is there no end to you and Chris tallents thanks guys
Loving all the content guys, keep up the excellent work 👍🏻
Great video Rob, love the old RS Escorts, Series 1 was my favourite brought back many memories messing about with cars at the weekends.
The good old days Rob, can't beat going back to reminisce.❤️✌️
What a crackin’ video. I can totally relate to your permanent grin as I’d be the same if I was in the Escort. Just takes me back to a memorable time of life and I’d love to have one. Loved the reaction from Chris when the dump valve was heard, just priceless. Thank you for all the efforts you both put in to post enjoyable, and educational, content. Stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏽🙂
Miss my Mercury grey series 2 turbo. Soon as I turned the key to start it the smile started and didn't end until it was turned off. Great video guys again
The reaction of driving the old classics is second to none always puts a smile on your face .
Well done getting the MOT sorted 👍
I still like the series 1 better thats y I own one but this is still nice 👌
such a classic car pleased yous finally got this back on the road.
Lovely Car Rob. You have done everything to it. And a new Mot. Nice one
I am very surprised that you are not going to keep this one Rob. You say how much you love it. You definitely need to have it painted and show everyone the end result however long it takes.
Great to see, I’d love my S1 back, rust and all.
I remember working on a friends years ago, dreaded head gasket issue! I was lucky enough to drive one and wow, loved it! The noises and yes, the dump valve noise became addictive 😆 love seeing your face driving this Rob, money can't buy happiness but in this case it could well do just that.
Rob and Chris nice one.Old School Fords Never Die.
Love the Escort and Chris's reaction was priceless
It’s put a smile on face and I’m not sat there!!
Love your videos keep it up boys 👌
Just like you said Rob the pleasure of working on older cars is great. The reaction from Chris was priceless { aww mate}
The quality just keeps on coming, I had a mk4 GL plus that was an awesome little motor I could only dream of owning an RS . Great viewing as always chaps.
This channel makes me smile after a troublesome day in the trade. Started to really warm fast Fords. Born 77 in trade since 2005
I get really great reactions from passers-by when I take one of my Grey Ferguson tractors out. Most smile, many wave, but it`s such a joy to have a little trundle around my village. One thing that Chris would hate though is one of them is petrol/TVO (Chris will know what I`m talking about) and if I can get the mixture right it will create some wonderful backfires on the overrun! No turbos, no dump valves, just wonderful 1940s/50s technology with a little tinkering!
Fitted many refurbed steering racks back in the day and they all looked brand new. So I believe yours is a refurb!
Thanks for Trip down memory lane ....Beautiful car Excellent vid keep em coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can remember buying one stolen recovered when I was in the game. What a beast. Sold it and the punter stacked it 1st day.
was shouting at the telly about the rack when you owned up - good man, this is why we all watch.
still miss my mk3, bloody wimmen, mortgages, kids, all together, it was only 75% of my wages at time after all...... [ 20yo + 8 points]
Rob, really nice to see you prominently back on the tools, just like the beginning of the channel. I'm sure the car will have a que waiting to buy it. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴
Didnt realise I was grinning away also until Rob said he was. Had 3 Escorts in the day, one was x3ri, loved it. Great vid again👍
