I really don't understand why this channel hasn't got way more subscribers. There must be 10's of thousands of 40ish people out there who love the cars on this channel and would love watching a guy who's knowledge and skills are spot on.
What an absolute beauty! That is one of my dream cars right there. Loving the new wheels, still a bit too big diameter for my tastes, but look better than the old ones.
My favourite wheels, but they are marmite, you might want to think about adding either, helicopter tape or a bit of ppf under the 500 lower spoiler where it meets the quarters as per the original 500 as has a tendency on rubbing the paint over time, will be having a punt on this one when it comes up would sit lovely next to my Esc cos 😂
Just upsets me now even looking at 3 door Rs Cosworths love them so much it hurts knowing I'll never drive another 😢 always been out of reach for me first love always hurts ✌️
Had a jumping speedo on my Westfield running on a Ford ECU. It was due to the ECU sensor the cable drives on the back of the speedo. Put cable direct to speedo without sensor and all is good again.
Top i only like 2.8 granadas ghia x but ive changed now im BMW E38 2.8I guy now 200bhp ,does me fine .ive never thought off changeing my speakers in my 25 year old E38 .And mine is on 200,000 miles i love it manchester its well known .
Thanks for another awesome video Paul, however I think you should go to jail for that wheel choice 😂😂😂 the previous ones in a lighter colour would have been my choice! Cant wait for the next vid 👍👍
@@ODDAutos It's really good to hear from you mate, sorry to hear about your workshop.. you do an amazing job with these cars, fingers crossed that you can find a new workshop in the new year.. best of luck with everything! Merry Christmas bud! 🙂
You're right, owning one of these in the eighties meant you were the dog's danglie's. Mind you, you probably wouldn't own it for long, so many got nicked, the insurance companies hiked the premiums to crazy levels.
My dad worked for ford motor company for over 30 years, he came home in a white cosworth in 1987. All my brothers pals in their escorts went off their heads for it. 😂
How you haven't got 500,000+ subscribers yet is a mystery! Your camera work, sound, presenting and general explanations are perfect. Do you have some media background??? The cars you work on are all true icons, in their own rights. UA-cam is a funny old place, the algorithm favours quantity over quality or you'd be huge mate.
I try mate, cheers for the lovely comment. Self taught on all the camera work and editing, I do it ok but hopefully get better the more I do. I’ve no idea why UA-cam doesn’t like me lol, I can spend 2 weeks making a decent video with good content and get minimal views.
beautiful car... but... ruined by those wheels - sorry... which clown has been working on the speedo before you, never seen such a bad bend in all my 44yrs in the trade... keep 'em coming young man !

Oh no the first wheels were brilliant 😂 but its just preference great video would love to see you do a group A impreza build
You're right, you can't pick the right wheels 😂 for me it would need to be standard or period touring car style wheels.
BBS spilt rims are what you need 😘👌
9:33 that part caught me off guard lmaooooo
I seen it too haha
I'm still laughing😁😁
Thats a 4 inch hahahaha
The way you restored the leather seats to their original glory is astonishing. It adds so much character to the car
I love these cars, I can’t wait to visit the uk and buy one, the texico eggenberger cars are my favourite cheers from Melbourne Australia 🏁🇦🇺🇬🇧🇨🇭☺️👍
I appreciate your calm and methodical diagnosis process. Down to your skills and experience no doubt xx
The wheels are always going to be a matter of personal taste..I'm not a fan of the white ones but love the car overall!
White?
On top of the rear wings where the new spoiler touches, on the factory rs500 they had clear ppf fitted so the spoiler does not rub the paint off.
You crushed with the wheels!!! looks awesome . That is the car of dreams!
Finally, a Sierra!
Another class video on a class car
Great content
Thanks for taking time to make and share these videos with us
It's much appreciated 👍
Awesome car mate. Those look like Rotiform 143 wheels which look great 👍
Make another channel for the kit car? I'd watch everything about it 😊 14:30
Lovely car… wow!
Preferred the first set of wheels. Or perhaps a nice set of chunky 5 spokes.
Top job . I think both sets of wheels look great on the cossy
Wheels look OK, but I think Ford got it right with this one, back to standard for me. 👍
What an absolute beauty!
That is one of my dream cars right there.
Loving the new wheels, still a bit too big diameter for my tastes, but look better than the old ones.
Well done Paul another beauty the new wheels makes it stand out
Cheers Billy 👍
Better than the Smokey, worn out old s💩itbox that LLF competitions had! 👌
All they buy is shite
Wheels, should have got standard OEM (if available) in my opinion - love the video's 👍
You can't go wrong with a fast Ford. 👍
What a perfect example of a legendary Blue Oval. Slick video, Paul.
Wicked car Paul. Wheels look good and whoever gets it should be well pleased. 😊😊😊😊
Good informative content from you Paul, as always.
Keep up the Gr8 work and information you share with us. 👍
Standard wheels look the best imo
Stunning car and cracking work! Keep it up 🏴
Cheers buddy 👍👍
1st wheels were nice but the wrong colour, 2nd set are perfect.
Hope I win it!
BTCC BBS wheels as on the Soper or Rouse cars for me
Love the wheels ,,,,,perfic ,,,,amazing looking cossie
👌🏻wheels are unusual but not bad matey,but no doubt people will be saying they should have a standard wheel on but it’s always good to be different 👍🏻
My favourite wheels, but they are marmite, you might want to think about adding either, helicopter tape or a bit of ppf under the 500 lower spoiler where it meets the quarters as per the original 500 as has a tendency on rubbing the paint over time, will be having a punt on this one when it comes up would sit lovely next to my Esc cos 😂
Great video, great work Paul, beautiful car👌👍😀
Loving these vids, especially the fast classic fords
Just upsets me now even looking at 3 door Rs Cosworths love them so much it hurts knowing I'll never drive another 😢 always been out of reach for me first love always hurts ✌️

This channel has the best cars
Cheers mate, great working on minters 👍
Wheels are perfect
I have been watching your program love it ,can you tell me if have you used wellseal on a classic mini and how would you apply it thanks .john
Cracking wheels. Got them on my S1.
Love that car I have a saffie cossie 4x4 running 680hp would love to own that one ❤
The way he measured the 4 Inch speaker 🤣😂🤣😂 Class
Sweet Jesus, you don’t half get
Some nice cars to work on. Gotta love a ‘cosseh’.. thanks for sharing with us.
It’s is a minter! Great fun to drive 👍
@@ODDAutos smiles per gallon 👌🏻
Top i only like 2.8 granadas ghia x but ive changed now im BMW E38 2.8I guy now 200bhp ,does me fine .ive never thought off changeing my speakers in my 25 year old E38 .And mine is on 200,000 miles i love it manchester its well known .
Wheels look 👌 perfect 😊
First wheels for me mate 👍
Preferred tge wheels that were on it, but maybe respray them gold.
Proper Cossie in the proper colour!
Did you put any protection on rear arch under spoiler, think they are known to rub
Nice car and great fixes as always !! What happened to your floor ? Big echo now 😮 you getting new flooring mate ?
The speaker size test was top banter 😂
I think both wheels look nice I prefer the TH but it’s a matter of personal taste…so I’ll take the THs off you 👍🏾
Love your videos 👍 not sure about the wheels think I liked the ones you took off more 😂
Very nice classic Ford cossie
Lovely motor. What's the reason for the exhaust splitting in two and then joining back together again? Is it a clearance thing?
Think so mate 👍
Personally i like the new wheels❤
Lovely car. Wheels not to my taste (prefer the silver and gold ones in the background) but they do remind me of Spiderman.
Ha ha yes those wheels are off my golf mk2.
I so want that car 😊
👍🏴😁✌️
Where is the kit car with the bend in one chassis tube ?
Hey you forgot to install the brackets for the lower rear spoiler. 😁😁😁😁
That is a very good example.
It’s a great car, I’d love to own one 👍
Thanks for another awesome video Paul, however I think you should go to jail for that wheel choice 😂😂😂 the previous ones in a lighter colour would have been my choice! Cant wait for the next vid 👍👍
Could the slight shake left in the speedo after replacement be the nylon worm gear in the gearbox?
Cracking video again mate. What's happened to your other videos?
The last one on the Kitcar did real bad for some reason? Just thought people weren’t interested so didn’t carry on.
@@ODDAutos oh that's a shame. I enjoy all the videos you do, I really don't know why you don't have more views. Keep it up though
Another top video 👊🏻
Are you coming back? Love the channel.. hows it going? any news?
Just trying to find a premises again, the local council booted me out this workshop in the end. Hopefully sort something very soon
@@ODDAutos It's really good to hear from you mate, sorry to hear about your workshop.. you do an amazing job with these cars, fingers crossed that you can find a new workshop in the new year.. best of luck with everything! Merry Christmas bud! 🙂
Great choice of wheels, although probably abit of a faff to clean
Cheers Jonathan 👍
Awsome car! Would love to win it 😍
Looks great, had to go buy a ticket so keep your fingers crossed for me please 😂
Sorry, I hate the wheels. 3dr’s to me are touring cars and sapphires were rally cars, they need to be more like the original bbs’s only larger
Change the fuel pressure regulator . The old ones fail and car can catch fire.
Ahh good shout 👍
Would have been better if you took the 500 spoilers off the front and rear. They don’t belong on a 3 door.
The cars are prepared better than cars for sale !
Old car requires an older owner with a bit of time and knowledge. Which is why half the cars either get sold back to dcg or sold on again.
Needs someone to love it 👍
Carlos fandango comes to mind.
Only wheels that could do this car justice are the original dog leg ford alloys.... In my humble opinion👍👍
What? Xr3 dog legs?
Weren’t the dog legs on saphs?
They didn’t have legs they were multi spoke black with polished rim.
Original wheels were lattice not dog legs
Original wheels on a three door were the BBS style
I prefer the wheels you took off 😂 they just needed spacers.
What happened to that kit car you were working on last time I went looking for part2 and now there’s no part1
Super voiture à l'état neuf. 👍🚗👌

As you say with the wheels, youre not gonna please everyone. I think utd look better with Compomotive MO6's
Great job mate 👍
First wheels for me. The second ones look like cheap 90s wheel trims 😂 beautiful car though.
Good work
Look much better
Cheers Simon 👍
💯 needs 5 spokes
Flat face comps in white like mine 😂
Lovely car. Usually a fan of the mods and tweaks done, but those wheels are a no, the previous ones looked far better.
Nice wheels the suit it better
nice vid remind me the 80s
I am not sure about the wheels personally
Should be white
I would have kept the original wheels but changed the colour to white.
Marmite wheels 👍
Sorry forgot to mention on a cylinder head gasket
Come on Paul lets have a new video! I've watched all of them since I subscribed.
Lost my workshop a few months back so just moving everything, it’s been a right pain!
@@ODDAutos Sorry to hear that Paul, hope you're back fixing cars soon!
Aren't Sierra Cosworths just over 200 horse power as standard ?
230 bhp suggests it has been tweeked..
Think it’s standard to be fair 👍
@@ODDAutos I think all performance cars from this era, rs gti gte etc are all the better for being standard to be honest

Incredible car Paul but the wheels don't do it for me, there are nicer compomotives out there
nice job.
The RS500 bits put me off entering. Why try and pretend it is something it isn't? A regular 3 door is still an ace car.
Compomotive TH2's are the best looking alloys around and suit alot of old school fords
They are nice! 👌
beautiful car... but...
ruined by those wheels - sorry...
which clown has been working on the speedo before you, never seen such a bad bend in all my 44yrs in the trade... keep 'em coming young man !
Thanks Paul. 👍
