Thank you for staying the course of the video, so much work went into it... I've been driving the car for a couple of days now and I'm in love it's a real beast! Apologies for the lack of Golgis track during the Patreon segment but it got copyright striked this morning before I could do anything about it 😩😩 oh well, next time!
The most utterly brilliant and genuine channel on UA-cam. Nothing pretentious, nothing for the sake of views or drama, absolutely belting Ben, made up for the you and the growth of the channel and glad I was bored one day and found you back in the OG days - I think this is what the government spoke about once... "A Northern Powerhouse"
Hi ben, 32 non driver and abit of a special boy hence the non driving ability 🤣 however that doesn't stop me from appreciating and understanding classics, craftsmanship and conundrums. For me sitting through this for 2 & 1/2hrs was an massive undertaking to rival the one achieved here and with that i thankyou for being our Friday night tutor it's been a pleasure to learn for a time served mechanic with a professional approach to his field. I wish you the very best of luck on future projects not that you'll ever need the luck sir 👊💯
"Licking piss off a nettle!" 😂😂😂 spat my drink everywhere 🤦🏻♂️🤣 currently rebuilding a 5 door blue focus st3 and got loads of tips from this cheers keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻
As a ST220 owner I loved this video they're a labour of love the last of a dying breed really enjoyed the transformation 👏 Tasty Classics is the best channel for us petrol heads and 2 hours of of pure enjoyment great work Ben 😀 👍
I bloody love your videos. A Friday night with a new Tasty Classics video, a takeaway and a bottle (or two) of good red wine is a thing of wonder and beauty.
@@tastyclassics Whoever thought anybody would be paying £5 for a pint of beer, no wonder all the pubs are closing, 80 pubs a month closing during 2024 so far, almost 1000 a year, a few more years there will be none left, once gone they will never return so sad.
We always thoroughly enjoy your videos Ben. My wife, Trish, is suffering from dementia but she remembers you all the time. "Niiiiiice" she keeps saying, "Niiiiiice". Keep up the good work Ben 👌🏽
just clicked on this and already know its gonna be good as someone who was grown up on old fast fords brings back memories of our old one that my dad would take me fishing in
Never apologise for a long video, they are an absolute treat! I find them genuinely soothing to watch, they've become an essential part of my unwinding routine!

He flew through mot's in the past to,I do keep him serviced love him,at my old garage guys we're fab,always joked and said there will be a full funeral when he goes. I will be in tears😢😢😢. Love your videos learing a lot old bird 70,mentality and I'm told I no way look 70. Well thanks for all the great videos love learning ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great to see this fast Ford being brought back to life. Easy for everyone to see the cost cutting that Ford employed on this car, from no spare wheel to sub-standard bodywork. Love these long videos. The meat and two veg of car restoration videos!!
Nope, my 2010 fiesta also didn't have a spare wheel. They opt for the foam crap cos it's cheaper for them. Also the gearbox took a dump after 2 years from new cos, guess what, it was cheaped out on. @@Goonie-dv3fw
Hi ben MJ here ...non driver ... Due to epilepsy ... Come across your channel in recommended... Really fascinated by your videos when you restore your vehicles ...... Basically watching the one about the ford focus ST 2007 ... Found it very entertaining lol ... Also watched the other video about the other ford that was in front of a garage for 17 years...... Your also mentioned your merchandise in one of your videos have give your shop a look online I sure will be buying one of your t-shirts probably a cup also.. and a hoodie.... Originally from Newcastle myself but live in Mansfield 👍🏻👏🏻
Fantastic work, Ben. Never apologise for the length of your videos. They take as long as they take. Congrats on the 50k subs too by the way. Here's to the next 50k and beyond
@oscarwilde5473 And me, I also know a dozen other women who are huge Tasty Classics addicts. Are you bringing the Focus to Rustival? Looking forward to your guest appearance there.😊
Well done Ben. Best car channel on UA-cam. Best video on the channel so far. My favourite car on the channel so far. Keep up the amazing work on the channel mate!
Please don’t apologise for the video being so long….I really enjoy watching the start to finish videos!! You have done a brilliant job it looks amazing my guy❤
I have just found your channel and what can I say apart from absolutely epic videos Ben, love the down to earth originality, no bullsh*t content. Focus ST beautiful car 👍🏻.
Really enjoyed this as at 68 I can't commit the time to restorations. This reminded me of the two Volkswagen Golf Anniversary MK 4's I have owned, one from new. Stumbled across this and have now subscribed.
I have avoided all modern Fords for exactly the issues you have found in this vid, however I do like a Fast Ford and this one is the last of the classic Fords, a great find, keep it and enjoy it, it's a great investment too. Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated :)
This is one of my favourite videos you have done.Love the one hit formula from buying,fixing and MOT on the road.Your work on this one was epic loved it.Cant wait for the Capri .....nice one Ben job done 💪👍😁🏴
Loving this journey and I’m Only a third the way through this video.. I can’t afford to be a Patreon but hats off to those that can, we appreciate you all 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’m not the biggest Ford nut but this has been a journey! I’ve enjoyed every minute of this vid. I prefer the long video format. I can dip in and out when I’ve got time. Watching you sort all that rust was impressive. To be honest, I could probably watch you rebuild a toilet and find it entertaining. 😂
Your channel really is a breath of fresh air...fantastic fun aswell listening to some of your comments...I don't care it's over 2 hours long...very informative, and fascinating to watch these transformations...great content, great cars..can't wait to see more.
YOUR CHANNEL HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST ON UA-cam, GOOD HONEST HARD WORK AND SKILL INVOLVED IN ALL YOUR PROJECTS,YOU HAVE A GREAT SET UP IN YOUR GARAGE AND THE PATIENTS OF A SAINT , COULD OF CRIED FOR YOU WITH THOSE LOCKING WHEEL NUTS...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOUR CHANNEL IS SO INTERESTING LOVE IT BUDDY , YOUR A VERY CLEVER HARDWORKING MAN!!!!!!😉👍👍👏👏💪
Hi Ben, really enjoy watching all your videos, however, nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing you reach 100000 views in 48 hours, amazing! well deserved buddy, I didn’t realise there were 99,999 other people like me in the world! All the fantastic hard word you do is very much appreciated, your an inspiration to us all! Thank you! 👍
One of the best car channels I've come across on UA-cam so far! What a boss fella too and when fast ford's are the projects of choice how could you not watch!!
Been subscribed for a couple of months and gone through your back catalog of videos. Great stuff mate. Long videos are the way forward I think. Who does not like a fast ford!? 👍👍
Great thorough job on the Focus Ben really enjoyed watching it. I have been watching your channel for a few months now and I like the fact you keep it real from all aspects ! Your channel pacifies the fact my car tinkering days are on hold whilst I build an extension over the garage ! Chomping at the bit to get back to The cars ! Thanks and keep up the good work !
Don't normally do comments but I really enjoy watching your videos... Especially the long one like this one.... The st looks & sounds Wicked... Definitely a keeper & will definitely appreciate it price...... Awesome work dude too keep it up.
He Ben, for my money that is the best video format that you have done on your channel, except for the fast forward bits. Made for a very enjoyable Friday evening. Thanks Alot. from Yorkshire.
Love the videos Ben, great to watch while working lol and a joy! The podcast is great, you both have a lovely way of telling funny stories...it's like I'm in the pub with you
Another great video from a very interesting project car. Please don’t apologise for the long video, we love them. Can’t wait for the Nurburgring episode
Don't be apologising for how big the job turned out......... If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing right.....And you've done a fantastic job, congrat's mate. 😃👍
I'll echo the opinion of many others in this comment section - I am all for the long form videos. At the end of the day, if I need to stop watching half way through, UA-cam just picks up where I left off next time anyway, and when I have a Friday evening to spare I can just press play and sit back. Keep them coming Ben!
Great video.Ben.If I had time ,energy and my youth back I would buy an old 1600E that my Dad had in '67.Fast Fords are fun. Love sitting in front of the computer and get ready for each episode with my baseball cap on ,an old Tshirt and some oil smeared on my face and beer from the fridge.Thanks.
Been watching a lot of mat Armstrong videos lately and UA-cam has brought me here , hopefully more of his audience make there way over as well and your channel can grow and grow , only 40 minutes in and loving the content won’t be able to watch the full video in once but my breaks in work will be sorted 👏🏽🙌🏽 liked and subscribed

@@adamford1818 ahh man a Williams Clio would be the dream
I think I can speak for us all, Tasty Classic subscribers, we all love the fact they are two hours long. Really nice old Ford too Ben, cheers
It's a bummer when they aren't 2 hours plus... it's becoming an integral part of the week. More please 😛😛😛
Exactly
Perfect for when I need something to watch as I walk for an hour on the treadmill
Absolutely. No faffing around with 20’ "teasers" over 6 months. This is a great formula 👍👍
100% agree - My vote is in for the longer videos!

Awsome! Now it's a Friday. Tasty Classics time 😊
I literally saw this car parked up a few months ago and thought it looked so sad. Glad its getting a new life
The day has come folks, Ben has bought "the fast one!" 😂
Lovin your work pal, keep it up 😉
Great to see this fast Ford being brought back to life. Easy for everyone to see the cost cutting that Ford employed on this car, from no spare wheel to sub-standard bodywork.
Love these long videos. The meat and two veg of car restoration videos!!
Theres no spare wheel because there's no space due to the exhaust so it has a flat floor
@@Goonie-dv3fw a design choice to cut costs. I rest my case!
Nope, my 2010 fiesta also didn't have a spare wheel. They opt for the foam crap cos it's cheaper for them. Also the gearbox took a dump after 2 years from new cos, guess what, it was cheaped out on. @@Goonie-dv3fw
I saw a dog chasing a cat but they were walking 🤣 AWESOME VIDEO BEN

Think youve caught this one in the nick of time dude. Definate future classic
Me and the wife love your channel and what a fantastic job you done on that st3 loved it keep them coming ❤

I've had a mk2 st, and I miss it dearly. Enjoyed the episode! Thanks for the content, I'm looking forward to more!

Why has UA-cams algorithm not posted this channel before now! Awesome!
Got to be my favourite yet massive Ford fan 😊
Hi, don't worry about the video length, I really enjoy something I can immerse myself in. Love your presentation and style, never change x.
Please don’t apologise for the video being so long….I really enjoy watching the start to finish videos!! You have done a brilliant job it looks amazing my guy❤
There is only one word to describe this car and its restoration and that one word is quite sufficient.
Stunning.
Not going to lie other UA-camrs would have had that as a ten part series, I love the fact you do it all in one video!!
I have just found your channel and what can I say apart from absolutely epic videos Ben, love the down to earth originality, no bullsh*t content. Focus ST beautiful car 👍🏻.
This is the sort of content I look for, an interesting car, a story of its purchase. A full recommission all in one video

You should have your own tv show. Brilliant to watch.

What an amazing transformation - you’ve done an awesome job of saving the car from a certain trip to the crusher
