The prices of 90's RS2000's are crazy I would restore to stock condition and hang on to it for a few years, being a 1 owner vehicle that will bump up the price.
They weren't even particularly good when they were new.
It can’t stay in trade for ever
They were terrible from new jelly suspension and lumpy steering
The mk6 was much, much better - but looking at this now I think they’ve aged well and are a lot more unusual.
@@lewis72 they wernt but judging by the prices they sell at now, that hasnt put many people off in the classic car world.
Cant stop smiling at Rob’s homespun presentation. An absolute natural with involving us viewers. No Wheeler Dealer hard sell. Can’t buy this talent. Like the milky bar kid but grown up.,
Wheeler Dealers, now there's a program that's well and truly gone down the pan. Time to take it off TV and get Rob & Chris on
@@dennij i didn't think it was still going.. says it all really
Yes the boys can’t wait to see what you do with this I wouldn’t mind seeing a full restoration! Happy Monday fellas keep up the great content 👍
I agree.
Did you sell the st focus red car with fire damage
@@patrickjm3487 was that not a fiesta?
They won’t do full restoration it’s just about flipping
Rob, back in the day I washed everything from brand new painted cabs to the underside of trailers that had spent 6 months in Romania. Its just better to soak everything before you use the pressure of the jet wash, even though its low pressure. Love the videos, guys :)
Chris will hoover that out the first chance he gets probably when your gone off to get the tyres.
You’ve got loads of other projects to keep you busy but I really think this could be worth finishing yourselves, even take it for an mot to give you an idea of what to expect. 👍🏻
I have been using Mer polish for decades. One of my first cars, back in about 1991/92-ish, was a Mk1 Astra with a chrome filler cap that was caked in dried on petrol and dried petrol runs down the bodywork. I tried everything to get the petrol off but nothing shifted it. Bought a bottle of Mer at a show and tried that, it took all the dried on petrol off the bodywork and filler cap.
I don't use any other polish now unless I have run out of Mer and haven't managed to get more.
The other thing I like is you can put a capful into a bucket of water and use it to wash the car, and unlike most polishes that say you must use it on a dry car not in direct sunlight, you can wash the car then just start polishing it without having to dry it and it doesn't matter if it's overcast or bright sunshine the Mer still polishes the car well.
This era Escort was when my family had a Ford dealer, sadly we didn't have the RS side of it but have very happy memories of going places in 90s Fords, would love to see this one completed by yourselves, it would be a cracking car! Keep up the good work
I think that’s one of the best barn finds you guys have found, I’m so jealous of what you and Chris do, many years ago I was in the motor trade in tonbridge kent and I miss it sooo much, I moved to Melbourne Australia in 2003 and love it here but there are some things I miss, my parents also had a caravan in leysdown for many years, keep the great work up
Regards Martin
Where’s your glamorous car washing assistant? 😛🥰👍
Thank you Rob. You’re a great communicator I really enjoy what Chris and you do.
That's some transformation Rob, just shows what a bit of elbow grease can achieve, well done.
Thats turned out cracking. Bit of paint its a minter. Well worth putting the time and effort into.
Looks a great purchase you deserve it considering the work you have to carry out on some of them - there must be loads of gems hidden away out there! 💍
Rob, you can see your excitement and pleasure from working the paintwork up. I can remember the thrill from restoring faded paintwork on some of my old cars many years back and getting that feeling of satisfaction. Take care Hugh
You lucky boys!! Absolutely gorgeous! I did the tape game to! Added 21 horse power!
Mer polish! Knew before I checked your links! I remember the market traders selling that odd sized blue bottle! One used to polish a original mini wing with it and then demonstrated how it protected against flames! Using a petrol soaked rag and a zippo!! Ah happy days! Really lovely lads enjoy it! Cheers!
That’s a beautiful car, I’d love something like that.
I’ve never been a huge fan of the “hot hatches” from across the pond, but I respect the heck out of the love these communities have for them. I appreciate all the hard work you guys put into these and love the video content. Great stuff as usual!
They make a lot more sense in the UK owing to the narrow roads etc.
Love it Rob, the transformation is incredible just a mop up and a small polish. Cant wait to see it running with matching rims and new tyres. Absolutely lovely.👍👌💯
Love the old fords, too young to really remember them and never get to see them in person anymore so this is nice to watch 👍
Great stuff Rob, well done. Maybe remove the rear badges to mop and polish behind them and then refit them. Nice work. Hopefully there is not much fuel in the tank that may have turned into thick sticky treacle and clogged up all the fuel lines too. You deserve to make a decent return on that. Thank you for sharing.
I know you've got loads of projects but I'd love to see you do a full resto on this. They are like rocking horse poo, and very underrated. Easily as quick as a standard RS Turbo and better handling.
That's not saying much as standard rs turbo isn't exactly fast
@@lukecowell7516 doesn't stop people
paying well into five figures for good ones though.
Such a nice contrast from the escort and the focus together from what we had to what we got
I remember Mer polish being sold in the 1980’s at market stalls with a guy burning a mini bonnet and polishing out the marks. Can’t believe that stuffs still around.
Salvage rebuilds just gets better and better 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Rob, have you ever done a full resto? I’d love to see this going all the way. If you don’t have to sell, I feel there’s a lot of money to be made over time on this one. Another great video thanks.
The Range Rover LSE
I was driving round the M25 back in the 1990's in my series2 RS Turbo when a Pacifica Blue Mk5 RS2000 pulls alongside and gives me a wave
and it none other than Jimmy Greaves who had one. Brings back the memories see these cars 👍😁
Absolutely loving this motor love mk5’s ever since the cossie came out .. had a 1600 lx with 15” pepper pots on ! Keep up the good work looking forward to seeing this one done !
Wow Rob little bit of TLC goes a long way the escort looks great can’t wait to see the finish project would be nice to see both Escorts finished side by side 👌🏻
Needs restoring correctly Rob, after sorting the issues have it professionally detailed. Big money. 😀😀
It’s a spanner !
Spanker
Brilliant Rob. Love these old fords.
What a find! Nice motor. Dad went through a variety of older mk3 escorts, 1.3l wasn’t bad actually, until we graduated to a Sierra :) Then I was old enough to drive his 2L EFI, looks a similar engine. Liked the way the fuel pumps “buzzed” Great fun.
Rob you need the glamourous assitant when nyou do the cars first wash crackon
This car needs a full restoration. It will be incredible back and running.
Hi Chris and Rob I'm a fan of your UA-cam chanel my grandad used to own a Ford escort rs turbo when I was young his now sadly got cancer I was wondering if I could pop to meet u both and look at your Ford eacort rs turbo as I really love them cars please could you reply back as I live in sherness my self
All I can say is Amazing Amazing Amazing that first wash was absolute joy nothing better than getting it cleaned after all those years sat there not moving the engine bay looks almost new great work Rob 👏
Massive transformation! Can vouch for that polish. Been using mer myself for at least 25 years and it's great stuff 👍.
Yes get in there day was going so slow. Cheers for the upload.
I was never a fast Ford fan but, that looks mint. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
What a result Rob
That is a beauty I can’t wait to hear it run
Hope all goes well
👍👍
I also put blue tape on my Astra back in '91. Lovely looking RS. Can't wait for next video
The fact that people say your holding the jet wash so close could damage paint these people need realise Rob your a professional careful guy and you know what your doing you and Chris are the best on UA-cam when it comes to restorations cleaning etc nobody can touch you both for your proffecianism
White vinegar and water in a squeezey bottle will get the the concrete spots off 👍🏻
Rob what a transformation reminds me of a car my friend bought at Auction. left it with me for an hour and I went to town on it with paint restoration product, he couldn't believe it was the same car now I know how he feels after your efforts.
Remember seeing a couple, they were ignored by most fast Ford mk2 nosecone fans, but now they're very unique being a rare Ford with a 2litre transverse and the RS name,good in the snow Great fun.
Wow Rob what a difference can't wait for the will it start!! But I'm sure it will. Thanks.
Looking forward to seeing it polished up and cleaned inside and running 👍
Cant wait to watch this. Hope you all doing well.
Keep them coming , Great old classics being re-born, great stuff !!!
Love it! Always enjoyed watching your videos and the level of detail you go into. Keep up the great work. I always had a soft spot for this era RS2000
That came up nice! You can tell from your enthusiasm that you are excited by this car, so definitely look forward to seeing it running, and the paint work done!
Thanks lads ,brilliant video 👍👍👍
Someone's excited 😁 what a change with just a good clean, top job.
Cracking motor Rob and a brilliant video - your enthusiasm and love for the old Fords can be heard in your voice! - It certainly has come up very well indeed. Credit to you. I cannot wait for the next episode!! 👏👍
I fell in love with this car as a kid from top trumps, it was in white with a full body kit. the wheel arches came out about 4" and it had a massive wing on the back. Think it beat most of the deck
Well didn’t that come up a treat! I’m absolutely buzzing over this car and I can’t wait for the next vid. As always thank you Rob, love your enthusiasm.
I`m hoping you and Chris will go all the way on this one! its a classic that deserves attention! not to go pristine but take your time and it will re-pay you 3 fold! love this one guys!
Stunning! Great effort, can’t wait to see the results
Absolutely love it enjoying every moment
What an amazing transformation already, can't wait for more 👏👏👌
Great stuff Rob
Thanks again
It's glad to see it again!
Love it brings back loads of memories keep up the good work folks 👍🏻
Looks amazing already I think this is a gem in the making would like to see it fully restored and there be no shortage of potential buyers for this car a true classic 👍🏻
Love to hear the joy and enthusiasm in your voice. Great video Rob, I really enjoyed watching this video, brings back wonderful memories of my misspent youth!!! Unbelievable how well this car has come up so far. Excited to see how this car is going to end up.
Guys keep up the great work! Love from Northern Ireland
Wow!!!
That’s come up brilliantly
Brilliant as always! Like we would expect any less from the lads 👌🏼👌🏼
Great video and great to see Mer still being used it does wonders for black cars. Loved that stuff and used it on my Black RS Turbo back in the 90's
100% put the effort in to her, as a fellow mk5 owner it's always nice to see heads turning, and this one certainly seems to be worth the time
What a RS minter looks great guys cant wait to see it running keep up the great videos
looks spot on
Loved that car. Had that exact same car but the xr3i version. K143AEG and after checking sadly gone to car heaven. 90's cars were fun. Keep up great work Rob, love this channel
Looks amazing rob can't wait for the finished result.
Looks good. It's all there, so well worth doing the lot to it.
Its a belter. I always use Farecla polish. Never had a problem with it and you get a great finish.
Amazing, I actually thought it was blue ! So faded before, but looks shiny black now !
That container of Mer is a classic too Rob. They haven't put it in blue ones for many years now. Nice job on the RS.
What a difference can’t wait to see the next one. Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
My god what a difference. Hard work always pays off Rob. I would love to see this fully restored, it will quite literally be worth a bomb.
Yes Chris could drive the white one to Classic car shows and. Rob the black one !
Incredible work Rob ! I haven't seen one of these in a very long time, I am looking forward to seeing how far you will go with this !
Another great video! Really looking forward to seeing the finished article!
What a find, we’ll done!
Brings back memories of going to pool matches in the back of my mates RS2000. I was 17 and wishing I had one
Go all the way with this one, Rob!!! Amazing work so far, can't wait to see the next video.
OMG what a find look forward to see it restored
Now that's a real transformation - this car keeps getting better and better!
I bought one of these for £1000 fifteen years ago, when I was 21. Good car back in the day for the Southend cruise. Very underrated in my opinion.
Total transformation of that RS2000, great work. 👍
You boys have an absolute corker on your hands there! Love robs enthusiasm with this one and I really hope you take this back to stock (looking forward to seeing refurbed alloys,new tyres and that quarter panel getting done. Fantastic channel, fascinating content. All the best chaps, keep the vids coming 👍🏻
Fantastic video Rob, so good to hear you so happy about this car. Genuine enthusiasm, this is the reason the channel is such a success. 👍
What a gem of a find! Looking forward to the next video on this one 👍
Literally just reminded me I need some stuff to remove road gunk/bug splats! I use Wax Planet 8Below snow foam on my car, not just good at foaming but it's one of the best at actually lifting dirt.
Love your work.That's from petrol head born in Croydon that moved to Perth Australia and now Thailand.My favourite channel.
You've done a fantastic job can't wait to see more.
Definitely worth to keep it this can only go up in value, so rare... beautiful car.
What a lovely car, so many memories !!
It looks fantastic it's a long time since I worked on one of these guys
Magic effort Rob.
Its incredible... its unbelievable
I’ll bet you smile every time you walk past it now. Super job Rob. Great video.
Fantastic video again lads. It will look fantastic when it’s finished. Can not beat old school cars. I find hot and cold washers great with foam canons
My dad had a black 1992 xr3i that looked pretty much the same as that rs but without the power bulges on the bonnet and a 1.8 130 bhp engine instead. Lovely cars
