FILM IT! FILM IT! FILM EVERYTHING! massive massive massive love for the ford brand!
🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊
How can anyone not love a old Ford..... loved the way you pointed out the painters faults but did not slam him 👍great video my friend 👍😷👍
Mate I didn’t want to sound horrible as I just don’t know the circumstances like I said it could have been there best job or that could have been a £500 blow over we just don’t know, but I think it may get sorted soon 👊👊👊
I have a 1978 mk2 escort ghia, with quarter bumpers and cibies. I love it 👍.......keep up the blinding work guys 👌.
👊👊👊
Back in the day I bought a white 'S' reg 2 door 1100cc Mk2 Escort 'pop' for £1,800. It had black bumpers and 12 inch wheels with chrome hubcaps and was shod in crossply tyres! I spun it on the motorway once during an unexpected blizzard and the following day got a new set of 155x12 radials. I also drove it around Scotland in 1981. I still think it looked gorgeous and regret selling it almost 40 years ago.
👊👊👊
You legend what a treat for a sat evening 👌LV a MK2
👊👊👊
Loved watching this as my first car back in 1986 was a moredoor 1.6L in white with black vinyl roof (ex-police car) so this video brought back lots of fond memories. I would love to see more on this car.
👊👊👊
This takes me back. I had two MK2 Escorts back in the day. When you see how much they are worth now, wish I had kept them. That one is a real survivor, in amazing condition for its age.
👊👊👊
I OWN A MK 1 ESCORT AND RESTORING IT, LUCKILY I AM POSTING MY VIDS TO CZcams SO ALL CAN SEE THE BUILD. THESE CARS ARE JUST FUN. THIS CAR IS BEAUTIFULL
👊👊👊
This channels cool factor has gone up another notch. Car looks great but really could do with a prior respray job in original colour. You mentioning the 4 branch had me remembering my old mk3 waking mum up every morning lol. Keep us updated on the mk2 please 👍
Thanks 🙏 👊👊👊
Wot a stunning beautiful motor my dad had a four door but it was in shit brown loved that car would love to see more on the MK2 bringing back so many memories for my thanks fella your a true 🌟💯💯💯👌👌👌👌👌
👊👊👊
Film everything !! Love this channel. Thanks Grant
👊👊👊
Riding my Raleigh Grifter as a 9 year old in 1981, when a bright orange MK11 RS2000 pulls out and stops to let me pass, two blokes in it laughing and revving the engine!
👊👊👊
Always wanted a Ghia or rs2000 when I was in my early twenties. We love to see any work you do to it.
👊👊👊
Thank you for the great bonus video great content and would love to see more on the escort ....love all what you do .. stay safe 👍👌
Thanks 👊👊👊
What a stunning 1 again an absolute classic,the Vinyl roof is a must finishes the car of stunning
👊👊👊
Great straight example!👌 And another great bit of content. As loads of other comments say, who doesn't like an old 'Scort? Would love to see more of this - but that goes for all your features cars, and you only got so many hours in the day! 😆👌👍🍻🍻🍻
👊👊👊
Great video mate takes me back to the 80's when I had a signal yellow 1.6 sport mk2 iam with you mk2 every time prefer 2 doors thanks for the content stay safe 👍🍺🍺
👊👊👊
Keep them coming Grant love these classics
Will do 💪💪💪
Love it! great saturday lockdown vid with a couple of tins lol !
👊👊👊
Over the years I've had so many of them lol .I had a lovely lime green RS2000 miss that motor 👍👍👍👍
Ohh I love lime green 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
That car will look stunning when it gets a proper respray.Always remember the Lotus Cortina that was one fantastic car.
👊👊👊
Love it definitely more vids please these are the cars I learned to drive in I’ve had loads...wish I still had them now£££££
👊👊👊
Brings back memories from back in the day of my silver 4 door fitted with a 2.0 pinto 🙂
👊👊👊
Definitely do more videos on the Escort. The more Fords, the better. Loving the yellow paint too, but needs doing properly. I think it is Daytona Yellow, as it looks to be like a MK3 Cortina my dad had in that shade back in the day. Will be a very nice car when it's tidied up a bit. I'm so jealous.
👊👊👊
What a lovely jubbly old thing that is, some real cracking motors coming on this channel at the moment, keep it up my old china 👍
👊👊👊
this channel just keeps getting better! seriously, highlight of lockdown!
🤣🤣🤣 thanks 🙏 👊👊👊
Love a mk2 escort had 2 both 2dr 20yrs ago now ❤️ the old skool content 🤙🏴
That bronze colour the mk1’s come in would look good especially with the black interior 👍
👊👊👊
Yeah I like the bronze too 👊👊👊
A very clean & tidy motor. Well worth some more love & attention.Would be the MK2 for me too!!!!
👊👊👊
Signal yellow would love to see more of the car brings me back to when I saw a family members cwr
Thanks I’m sure it is signal 👊👊👊
I had exactly the the same as a youngster 16 ghia 😂 quarter bumpers the lot but mine was white please keep the vinyl roof the car really suits it I love the wheels put some nice spot lights on it and he’s back in the 80s 😂 brilliant video cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👊👊👊
Defo more Vids on the Ghia...little classic. Takes me back 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽..needs TLC with paint job 👍🏽
👊👊👊
Very nice motor. My first car was a mk2 Escort in light blue with a tan vinyl roof....sadly it was only a1.3 on mother’s orders 😂. Defo want to see more of this 👍🏻
👊👊👊
Retro ford nut like myself I had a mk2 1.6 Ghia gold with vinyl roof 20 years ago wished I kept it like all the other fords I've owned worth a fortune now. I currently own a focus st170 estate yer never know might be worth a few quid in 30 years lol keep up the great content 👌 👍👍👍👍
🤣🤣🤣 thanks 👊👊👊
The Ford Ghia spec cars were all really nice, from the Fiesta right up to the Granada. Never owned a MK2 and probably never will with the price of them. More vids please.
👊👊👊
Keep up the good videos I love it when you getting the escort Cosworth out 🔥😍👊🏾
I have so much to get through first but it will come out 👊👊👊
Wonderful idea to film that MK2 🤩😍 as you said shame about the respray job 🤭 . That's exactly why I'm trying to pick up all the secrets of spraying before I can attempt my first try. But at least I know that you should strip everything down and engine out to have full proper respray job done properly and gain better access will make the job easier even if it will take longer as it's more time consuming.
At least he is in the right hands now to have the job done professionally. Very lucky man.
Thanks a million for sharing this video, it's awesome 👍🤞✌👏🙏🤗
👊👊👊
remember racing them in 86 when i first passed my test, i had a rover 3500 p6, i could beat them on the straight but soon as we hit the roundabouts on the one way system in lowestoft they were long gone, good memories
👊👊👊
That's one solid mk2 . love the wheels .
👊👊👊
Brilliant Content as always keep them coming
👊👊👊
Great to see an old Escort in good condition for its age. I would like to see it get a proper paint job and maybe a set of spot lamps on the front end.
👊👊👊
Wonderful “ Baby boomer “ memories .....keep ‘em coming kind Sir!
👊👊👊
Definitely get this back on the channel👍🏻 it’s heart breaking looking at that paint job, considering the potential value in this car it’d surely warrant a full strip down 🤔
👊👊👊
Got to stay yellow, beige would be too much. Definitely keep the vinyl roof and Ghia stuff on a 4-door I reckon, part of its charm. I had a '77 2-door square headlight Ezzy back in the day, forest rally arch kit, the lot, but 1.3 L in reality, haha, great fun rear wheel drive, loved it.
👊👊👊
Mint , so happy to see this, well done 👌
👊👊👊
Be great to see any filming mate. Thanks for vid .
👊👊👊
That looks like Signal Yellow, which was a colour only available on the sporty Fords. A friend of mine has a mk4 Cortina 2.3S in the same colour, which is currently undergoing a ground-up restoration. Daytona Yellow, which was available on the more cooking mk2s, was a paler shade, that was the colour that a friend's 1300L 2-door was, it was his first car and was properly genuine all round as it had been his grandparents car from brand new in 1976 up until someone drove into the back of it. He rebuilt the back end, using all genuine Ford panels, as you could still get them for little money back in 1990, and he ran it well into the 2000s as daily transport. He still has it now, but it's high days and holidays wheels now, and not for sale, ever as his kids want to take it over...
Being as this was originally beige, this probably had a brown vinyl roof originally, so whoever had it painted probably changed that too. I guess they had good intentions, but it would probably have been worth more left original...
I now have the old pictures and yes was brown roof 👊👊👊
Lovely......mental money for a 2 door now. I had to settle for a Capri to go into the collection. Just a 1.6 but it's great, cam,carb, exhaust. Just like the old days!
Still have a sweet spot for a Capri 👊👊👊
@@grantssmartrepairs czcams.com/video/DfB4QyJ0xMs/video.html
I’ll have a look later 👊👊👊
Love the mk2 would like to see more,thank you 👍
👊👊👊
Brings back memories we used to use them as winter cars and just abuse them back in the late 90’s when you could be fussy with £600 😂 I remember knocking a 4 door back that was £250 how silly was I? The 4 doors seem to be commanding money now and as with all old cars the things you where not keen on back in the day seem now to be cool. I definitely wouldn’t be going beige though 😂
🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊
Grant
Ford inthe 80s used o do.these Daytona yellow its a nice car they were a rot box I would spray it black make it sporty love watching old cars being done up like to see more
well done grant for showing it us
Phil I. Stoke
👊👊👊
Another great update, your really smashing the videos out, the MK2 looks great but I'd change it back to the original colour, it'll look a lot better I think......cheers......paul.
I actually like them in beige think they look cool 👊👊👊
Definalty Signal Yellow. You are correct about the front bib, it's off a Mexico. Had a Mk2 as my first car. I've had every Escort apart from a Mk1
👊👊👊
theirs nothing like the smell of damp start in the morning memory's of my old ford Cortina mk3
👊👊👊
Quality gotta love an old skool Ford you definitely have to do videos if when it comes in
👊👊👊
Great video mate. Always wanted one as a young lad. Ended up getting
A British racing green mini.
Stay safe.
👊👊👊
What a lovely little Mk 2. Yes I'd agree with you I'd have one before a Ferrari or Lambo. Whether I'd have it in front of my beloved foci I dunno! Speaking of which, a couple of things to say.
In '03 I got a brochure from a trade stand at Ford fair, the firm was called Phoenix and were based at Binbrook raf base in Lincolnshire, i had knowledge of the base (home to lightenings I think, sorry not a plane buff only cars and A4 steam locos😁🚂🚄) as my uncle was a an air traffic person there, and lived in nearby Louth if you've ever heard of it. (also an interesting coincidental twist in "steam" circles a dismantled steamy has been involved in a legal wrangle on that site.
Anyway this phoenix fella was buying up original, sound but tired mk 2s and ones in Malta. Importing them here, fitting new components and zetec 1.6,1.8 and 2.0 engines, in them, it sounded great but I was concerned bout parts etc and where and who to service it for me, so played safe (but happy) with my 02(year old at the time) Tdci.
Also speaking of foci, I've sent a letter off to Autocar this week relating to news Ford have indicated there won't be a new RS version of the current Focus, I've indicated my dismay and included pictures of the 03 I think Ford fair, with a homemade Focus RS (with a twist) (which is me n wife's dream car), with full engine and running gear from an Escort Cosworth!!! . The car was brand new, for sale at 16k I think (what a bargain) with white Oz alloys, but finished absolutely superbly. The full interior of RS foci was fitted, including the trimmed obvs full length transmission tunnel. It looked like it had come straight from the factory and even had focus "cosworth" badging. I wonder what happened to it.
When I win the lottery, you can make me one, with the various other motors in the list, starting with one of the 77 TransAm International Firebirds, based like the original on the Chevrolet Camaro, with extensive modifications such as a 700bhp supercharged V8, but most importantly with a signature on the dash from one Burton Reynolds, the car in question being a "Bandit" edition resplendent in Black and Gold with re manufactured (bit like the mk2s 4 spokes tonight) snowflake alloys. Anyway back to reality, keep up the good work. Ben 🚄🚂😁🦄👍
🤣🤣🤣 and yes loads of imports over here now as for the cozzy focus my mate dave had one 💪 he might read these comments I’ll try get some pics of it I’m sure his was rwd I didn’t want to get in it I’m not a good passenger been put through the windscreen before 🤦♂️🤦♂️ didn’t like it 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely car! , I'm really missing the show season this year , iv got a 1990 xr3i that I love to take out in the sun 😁👍
👊👊👊
The Colour goes really well with 4 Spoke RS alloys an the Ghia trim. Looks a pretty solid car 👍
👊👊👊
Love the wheels and the vinyl roof. Great nick too. The body in the boot lowering doesn’t do it for me but if your mate’s happy that the most important thing.
👊👊👊
Lovely, would be great to see more of it.
👊👊👊
Gota love a mk 2. Can remember picking these up for pennies. Crazy how they have gone up in price.
I know I’d love another one 👊👊👊
Thats a cracking little car, old skool rule 👌🏾 more vids on this car? Most certainly 👍🏾
👍👍👍
I would leave alone Dave it looks great
👊👊👊
Very nice! My fave classic ford😍👌
👊👊👊
Paint needs sorting and you're the man.
👊👊👊
Sand beige no less like my 1.3GL automatic. Inner front wings so rusted out that when I washed it there was 2inches of water in the foot wells. Still got an MOT thou! Thems was the days! Go beige!
👊👊👊
Think your right about it being signal yellow yeah would like to see more videos if possible cheers 👍would definitely look better with black interior
👊👊👊
Aww bloody hell memories, had the 1600 sport in same colour, , loved that car😩😩
👊👊👊
Gotta do this one mate, mine was black interior, nought off my cousin😩 wish had stored it away 😒
So many of us have said the same 👍
I had a blue one back in the day and took off the Ghia trim added the front spoiler and 4 cibe supper oscars.👍
👊👊👊
Lovely to drive - I love the rifle bolt gear change on these. Prices sre salty nowadays.
Definitely 👊👊👊
GREAT CHANNEL ! just found it :O OOOH THE CLASSIC FORD LOVE
Thanks 🙏 🙏🙏 and welcome aboard 💪💪💪 have a look around 👊👊👊👊👊
Another great car for your channel would love to own one great content thanks for sharing
👊👊👊
Lovely old mk 2,,,,,definitely better in 2 door.
Had 2 of these years ago that were rotten as ####
Good to see ones are still out there.
👊👊👊
Stronger in 2 door as well less flex .Modern car does not make any difference
Hi Grant OH YES for this one, looks like Cordoba Beige and Signal Yellow, sounds good and pukka alloys.!! Well jealous of this one, as many videos as you like mate.. crack on.. cheers, Alex.
Thanks 👊👊👊
Yeh i would say signal yellow, i had a mk1 escort about 20yrs ago I built and had it painted that colour i regretted it, really nice car but personal i would change the colour, yeh be nice to see it on your channel in the future 👍🏻
👊👊👊
Great car what a find,think your right with signal yellow as Daytona yellow was more muted.
Yeah I’m sure it is 👊👊👊
My 1st car was a '73 mk1, loved it to bits, wish i still had it although i'd love a mk2 rs1800. Sports/mexicos/rss too easy to copy.
👊👊👊
Yes please, would love to see it put back to original colour on the channel
👊👊👊
Nice variety of cars you get, i have a mk1 moredoor and a couple of cortinas .
👊👊👊
I think you're right on the yellow from memory. FFFFFIIIIIIILLLLLMMMMM!
🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊
Hi Grant its your magic gun waving over it .engine out total respray and body kit look forward to seeing other videos about it cheersn Stephen
👊👊👊
Those wheels are gorgeous 😍
💪💪💪
Top class as normal had a couple of these after my first car the mk1 which I was driving one day and my foot went through the floor 😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈
🤣🤣🤣
Great video salvage flippers, what a beauty 👌,looks a lot better lowered,shame about the paint job,defo needs a new interior,beige not a good colour is it,yes please let's see more of this👌👍😀
👊👊👊
Awesome.. I had a metallic green one.. Scrapped it in the 90"s for £50 because I could not find a gearbox.. So sad.
😯😯😯
Great I would love to see you make that sparkle back to its original colour
👊👊👊
Just if I'd got the money, never had a escort when I was younger, everyone seemed to have a mk 1 or mk 2, or a the van and put along tinted window in the side, but I'd love one now, or the Capri just to much money. So I'll just enjoy watching this done right hopefully
👊👊👊
That car needs to be torn apart,painted the original beige and a full resto done then driven on weekend’s and enjoy one of the best cars of it’s era.Great video thanks.
👊👊👊
Been watching your channel for a while, but definitely subscribed now, as every upload you do is quality.
Not sure why anyone would cut so many corners spraying a classic like this. Maybe he didn't have the room to store all of the trim, engine, etc to do a proper bare shell respray.
When I was young, I had at least 10 Mk2 escorts, and I had 4 engines in/out of one on a saturday, so I know it doesn't take long to completely gut a shell, they are very basic and simple to strip down.
Thanks and welcome aboard 💪💪💪 and I just don’t know how or why it was left like that 👊👊👊
@@grantssmartrepairs Such a shame, I love a Mk2, even 4 door.
👊👊👊
Love it m8 great video would love to see this done.
👊👊👊
Defo film it who don't love a old Ford 💙
👊👊👊
Awesome as usual ,the wheels are actually RS four spoke ,had them on my RS1800 Mk 2 back in the day
👊👊👊
Yes please and hope you get a mk2 one day
Thanks and I will don’t worry 😉 👊👊👊
Had a silver one 30 years ago one of the best fords i owned when the wife let me drive it
👊👊👊
Great video👍👍👍.
👊👊👊
I do like the MK2 Escorts, I prefer them much more than the MK1's. I have owned both in the past. If I was to add to my cars (we have three, a Jaguar XJ, Range Rover Vogue and a TVR 280 Series 1) I would have a MK2 RS2000 all day long, I love them.
👊👊👊
Please keep us in the loop with video's on this one please as it's a sweet motor
👊👊👊
Mate that’s gorgeous
👊👊👊
My mum had a mk2 1.3l back in the day and weirdly I can still remember the registration number edx83y😀
👊👊👊
When i first passed my test you could get a mk2 escort for £250 , everyone wanted the mk3.
👊👊👊
