In this video I find out what colour I'm are painting the Mk1 Escort, thank you to everyone that left a comment! Make sure you let me know what you think!
I was worried that your method would backfire on you but that is an excellent choice, when I see you have put up a new video it gives me a big smile and I have to watch immediately, great work
Great stuff. Glad I found the channel to go back and binge watch all of this series. As a former MK1 Van owner, I still have a real soft spot for them. I shamefully chopped up a MK1 two door for parts back in the day but I only think about that in regret about three times an hour.
@@keithoddautos5044 Absolutely. Great content. Love the channel. I've watched most of your stuff and I'm hanging out to see the 5 cylinder in the Mk 2 Escort custom when you get to it!
Nice one fellas! Perhaps do a _lucky draw_ for future cars: What colour wipers? What size engine? How many wheels? That 'scort's gonna look lush in blue and white. 👍👍
Love that choice, gold wheels too! Unless your going for another colour. Rather than it be a copy! Really enjoyed the series....... I bet it was so hard in the pub for 3 hours he he he!, looking forward to the escort coming back from the paintshop!
I didn't vote but back in the day I had an Olympius blue mk1 rs2000 with blue stripes it looked stunning. Loved the series lads can't wait for the next one.
@@keithoddautos5044 haha, long ago in the 70s my brother owned a purple TwinCam here in Adelaide, for some reason people used to throw cans and wrappers at his car , prolly cause it was quicker than Falcon GTs and Monaro's upsetting the owners , and being purple !😜
Looking forward to the next video, Would have been nice to have seen it sprayed in Green, but Blue will be pretty blooming good. Will be interesting to see how the Twist will turn out.
Boys, I think blue with white stripes will be beautiful. (Sorry m’lud had to spend three hours in the pub writing them out but I suppose someone has to do the really tough jobs) Rock on Cannon & Ball ha ha! 😊😂🇬🇧🚙
Would be amazing to document the superb bodywork your going to do to the escort mate I no it will look stunning and interesting to those who don’t no what it takes and skills to achieve top results! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@ODDAutos please do. I’m a little biased as I have 3 here. A 72 super with a 12a rotary, a 73 super with a 4age Bluetop that will get an English axle with lsd and coil overs and also a 2dr conversion and escort rally arches. The 3rd is almost as rusty as this escort was.she’s a donor
Work your magic Keith it will look good I'm sure with the work you put out on your videos looking forward to seeing it painted Ps how long befor the next video already looking forward to it 👍
Great one guys, admittingly i am disappointed in the colour choice, albeit a fair pick, as this one will turn out to look like all the others...if you get me. Now sayings this does not mean that i would not like it, on the contrary, i would love it but I would have liked to have seen something different, dare i say, maybe unique. Anyway, looking forward to the end result. Top men. 👌 from S.A
Hmmmmm... not my favorite choice, but it ain't my car. lol. I'm sure it'll look great either way. Make sure you only do them as decals so you can take em off. Never been a fan of the F and F films, but hey.... the people have spoken.... well, the paint cup has!
@Keith Hall I guess I'm more old school and prefer the colours and schemes from back in the day. Always felt the F and F didn't know their stuff with escorts. I mean it's supposed to be an RS1600, but they put the RS2 decals on??? Anyway, just my 2 cents. You can't pick everybodies favourite with so many suggestions
Side pipes and a cal bonnet scoop be nice I’m thinking but I have some strange tastes 🤣 shame about the colour but that’s the luck of the draw I guess seems like you’ve put in far to much work to make it look the same as someone else’s ! better get a funky blue brew going on fellas make it your own mean machine ! Hey and no dragons down the side 🤣🤣
I can’t believe it!!!! Hope you like the color… Truly shocked! Thanks!
Ahh Mr Spock, well done mate! The cars going to look great! 👍👍
@@ODDAutos it was the logical choice🖖
@@mrspock3274 😂😂😂

Cheers Andy, should be mint when it’s done 👍
Great vids lads 👍👍👍

Brilliant perfect colour choice with gold minilights
Cool, yes it’s going to look ace! 👍

@@ODDAutos lol

Electric blue I recon!! Nice and original and looks great.
Or Ford performance blue? Still looking at Ford blues now 👍
Nice one fellas! Perhaps do a _lucky draw_ for future cars:
What colour wipers?
What size engine?
How many wheels?
That 'scort's gonna look lush in blue and white. 👍👍
Hopefully it’ll turn out mint 👍👍
@@keithoddautos5044 😂😂
Glad it's going to be this colour scheme, will be epic when it's all done, 😎
Cheers Ian, can’t wait to finish it now. 👍
Looking forward to seeing it painted
Me too, can’t wait now 👍👍
Excellent way to choose the colour 👌
Just got back from Florida where that very car is in universal studios one of my fave colour combos. Will look amazing.
Ahh no way! I’d love to see the original up close.
Looking forward to seeing the escort painted as it's another step closer to project Mk1 minis!
Ha ha been looking at those mk1’s today, can’t wait to start on those too 👍
Well done Mr Spock, blue with white stripes, Same as my Mini 🏴
It’s a nice pic to be fair…. Just glad it wasn’t pink 🤣
Great Choice of Colour hopefully keep the Gold alloys aswel. Great Video guys Can’t wait to see it now 👍
Yes keeping the gold wheels, may paint them a brighter gold though as these are a bit dull 👍👍
Love that choice, gold wheels too! Unless your going for another colour. Rather than it be a copy! Really enjoyed the series....... I bet it was so hard in the pub for 3 hours he he he!, looking forward to the escort coming back from the paintshop!
@@keithoddautos5044 eeeeee the rotter lol.
Yes I didn’t enjoy sitting in that pub for hours ha ha. Keith’s been on it all day down our bodyshop, starting to look better already 👍👍
Great! Blue is the way! Can't wait to see it!
It’s going to look proper mint when it’s done 👍👍
I didn't vote but back in the day I had an Olympius blue mk1 rs2000 with blue stripes it looked stunning. Loved the series lads can't wait for the next one.
Can’t beat an old classic Ford 👍
Don’t let Keith into the crystal dome he was struggling there ! 😂😂😂
Ha ha definitely! I suppose the older you get the slower your reactions…. and he’s mega old 🤣
@@ODDAutos 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Older the fidle more knowledge
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌
The older I am the faster I was 🤣
Chuffed with that colour. Well done Mr spock!!!
I know, hopefully he watches the vid and isn’t in a galaxy too far far away 🤣

Awesome
Looking forward to the next video, Would have been nice to have seen it sprayed in Green, but Blue will be pretty blooming good. Will be interesting to see how the Twist will turn out.
Green is a great colour, hopefully the blue will be just as good 👍👍
Alan Mann or Castrol liveries would look good
Blue and white good choice Mr Spock 👍
Yes well done Mr Spock, it was the logical choice 👍
Glad it was that colour scheme 👍
Cheers buddy 👍👍
great colour choice. 👍 👍 👍
Cheers Darren, it’ll look mint when it’s done 👍
@@keithoddautos5044 maybe i should bring my mk2 down for you to paint? if you're doing one already then you might as well do 2 😂
Brilliant choice of colour love it 💙💙
@@keithoddautos5044 got to go with the gold rims dad 💙💙
Cheers Eddy 😘
Looking forward to seeing it in blue and white 👊👊
Me too 👍👍

Ha ha, it was hard work sat in that pub for hours. Had to cool myself off with a pint…. or 2 🤣
Still going look epic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes bud, can’t wait to drive it now 👍
Would be amazing to document the superb bodywork your going to do to the escort mate I no it will look stunning and interesting to those who don’t no what it takes and skills to achieve top results! 👍🏻👍🏻
I’d love to see you guys do some work to a Hillman Hunter, very under rated cars, fairly escort underneath and cheaper.
I was talking to someone the other day about doing a Hillman, might be fun
My dad had a yellow N reg deluxe. Later it was painted blue after he sold it.
@@ODDAutos please do. I’m a little biased as I have 3 here. A 72 super with a 12a rotary, a 73 super with a 4age Bluetop that will get an English axle with lsd and coil overs and also a 2dr conversion and escort rally arches. The 3rd is almost as rusty as this escort was.she’s a donor
Blue and white 👍. My second choice 😜
Ha ha well done Will 👍
Great choice! I was waiting for you to say that you missed all of the paper and would need to pick them all up and try it again! 😆
Keith would be no good on the crystal maze 🤣
Top colour one of my favourite MK1 escorts
Cool! Cheers Steve 👍👍
Looking forward to seeing how you paint this with the white stripes as I was going to put on the decals 👍
Cool will get it all in the video 👍👍
The fast n furious design ain't that far off the rs2000 design. Looking forward to seeing it painted. well done lads.
Cheers Paul, just got to get the right shade of blue now 👍
Brilliant shout
Cheers buddy 👍👍
Can't wait to see this colour scheme! lucky avoiding the pink....
I know, definitely would of have the car to Keith if it was pink 🤣
A hope you both set that up to be blue 😉😉😉😉😉... great choice and really looking forward to it ... Thanks guys
@@keithoddautos5044 your mental... it could have been pink !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wanted dark green with gold stripe, but it’ll look just a great in the blue 👍
@@ODDAutos at the end of the day its your car. Paint it the way you want. As long as its not pink 😂😂😂😂😂
Great guys can't beat a blue mk1 can't wait see great channel cheers
Cheers David, I can’t wait till it’s done now 👍👍
Blue and white is a good choice.
Cheers Chris, it’s going to look great 👍👍
would love to see the bodywork/spray process if possible.......Nice choice.
Ok cool, will get as much in as we can 👍👍
Blue and white? Classic Ford colours. Could always go Imperial blue metallic with a nice pearl white. Going to look great when it's done.
Yep that will look 👌
Sure will Alan 👍👍
Decent shout on the colour to be fair.
Good colour choice, cracking way to choose it too! Thank goodness it wasn’t BRG on a Ford, pink would have been better outcome 😝👌
Ha ha yes just glad Keith got one in the pot, would of had to pick them all up and try again otherwise 🤣
Looks a good choice👍
Cheers William 👍
im sure itl look ace in blue looking forward to the next vid
Cheers Kev, can’t wait to finish it now 👍👍
Mega! Can't wait
Cheers! It’s going to be great !👍👍
Great video guys as always looking forward to seeing the finished car see you in the next video ♥️
Cheers Marcia, I can’t wait to drive it now 👍👍
Not my picked colour but still be nice every bit of faith in Keith

Ps gold wheels be nice still
Yep he will do a mint job 👍
Yay I voted blue - go Ford Pacifica blue
Loving every second of this build keep up the great work lads 👍
Cheers Gez 👍👍
Blue
Fast & furious mk1 nice but put a twist to it maybe a Lighter blue 👌🏽👍🏼👍🏼
Yes got to get a nice metallic blue from somewhere 👍
Sad it was not Alan Mann colour's 😢, but what ever comes out of your garage will look good 👌
Ahh cheers Adrian, yes it’s going to look great 👍
Let’s see Keith mask up the lines if your painting them💪🏻
Ha ha he really really enjoys doing line work, tells me so every time I say we are doing it on a car 🤣
Got what I wanted 👍🏼
Nice Rich, it’s a great colour! Probably see you at footy on Thursday 👍👍
Work your magic Keith it will look good I'm sure with the work you put out on your videos looking forward to seeing it painted
Ps how long befor the next video already looking forward to it 👍
Keith’s hard at it already, hopefully be one next Tuesday 🤞
@@ODDAutos can't wait your channel is better than TV these days 👍
Cheers! Means a lot to know you like it buddy 👍👍 we will keep banging these cars out 👍
The Escort will look cool in blue . What happened to the fibreglass boot lid that was bad fitting ?
Got to sort it this week in the bodyshop 👍👍
Have a look at Jo,s Fab Lab:MK1 Escort, that’s the color I’ll go for myself stunning very unique
Yes that’s the colours I’d have liked to be fair 👍 maybe on the mk2 next
Can’t wait come on fellas lol 😂
Cheers buddy 👍
Blue is not a bad colour boys😉 cant wait to see it done👍❤
Cheers big Phil 👍
@@ODDAutos Soon be done and be racing between the speed cameras 🤣👍
Yes, good choice.
It’s going to look mint 👍
Sound job....
not sure if you no but there is app to do a random pick of CZcams comments to save on paper 🤣
Ahh no way! Well I enjoyed the pub visit anyways 🤣
Top choice in colour, bodywork wise how are you fitting the wings on, any details would be great...👍
Ok will do 👍 think we are using mega low profile flat allen key bolts in the tops, probably nut certs in the sides.
Great one guys, admittingly i am disappointed in the colour choice, albeit a fair pick, as this one will turn out to look like all the others...if you get me. Now sayings this does not mean that i would not like it, on the contrary, i would love it but I would have liked to have seen something different, dare i say, maybe unique.

Crack on guys!! 👍
Looking forward to seeing go into colour!!
Me too, can’t wait to drive it now 👍👍
Would love to see the initial prep of all the bare metal into epoxy or etch & 2k high build - if its not to late lol
Cool, been doing the prep today and will put all that in too 👍
@@ODDAutos nice one mate. And the obvious one is seeing the colour going on. Will you be painting the white bits or using stickers?
Got to be paint on the white bits, then clear over the top of everything 👍
@@ODDAutos yes mate glad to hear - proper job 👌
@@keithoddautos5044 nice mate looking forward to watching the videos my favourite part is seeing how it transforms into colour
castrol colours would be nice
Will play about with the colours 👍
Blue shell yes, go for while triple pinstripe instead , what f and f should have done
Cool! Yes will probably do slightly different on the stripes 👍👍
Yes. I won 😆my colours 👌
Nice! It’s going to look mint! 👍
Black
Sorry bud, was blue in the end, think black had about 20 votes though 👍
Take the Mexico stripes instead of the RS2000s. Looks far better.
I prefer the more narrow higher stripes to be fair. 👍
I second this comment
Suit the engine and car better unless a 2 litre going in
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌
I didn't vote but the colour I wanted won anyway. Result :)
Ahh that’s a result then 👍👍
Gutted mine didn't land in the pot 😭 It is a nice looking one in fast and furious though
Hopefully it’ll look mint when it’s done 👍
We’ll done
Cheers buddy 👍
@@ODDAutos I said blue so we’re all winners 👍👊
Good choice blue..😜 dont tell me your doing ford nitrous blue like mk3 focus rs.. 😉
Ha ha, I want my mk2 that colour 👍
@@keithoddautos5044 😂😂 solid colour every time. 😜
Noooooooo not the F&F colours 😭 But if that’s what it is, do some kind of twist with it (so it doesn’t look like yet another F&F rep).
Hopefully pick a better blue and play with the stripe a bit 👍
Side pipes and a cal bonnet scoop be nice I’m thinking but I have some strange tastes 🤣 shame about the colour but that’s the luck of the draw I guess seems like you’ve put in far to much work to make it look the same as someone else’s ! better get a funky blue brew going on fellas make it your own mean machine ! Hey and no dragons down the side 🤣🤣
Cheers buddy, yes deffo will do a different blue I think 👍👍
If its not hot pink with an orange stripe I'm gonna be upset 😂😂😂
Ha ha luckily avoided that 🤣
@@ODDAutos I like to think you'd have still picked a resalable colour like the blue.
I prefer this length of video to the funny shorties too btw
But will it be RS2000 stripe or Mexico stripe this is the question......
I like the higher stripe to be honest 👍
@@ODDAutos Me too, Mexico it is then and you gotta put the Mexico in there too so I would use a vinyl sticker stripe and clear laquer over the top
Please don't do it in a dark blue..
What do you think of Ford performance blue? Google it, might be a little too dark though.
Performance blue is nice. ..but I think a lighter blue would be way nicer...
From the window to the door, we have two camera cuts. I think you cheated with the colour. In the last vid, the rims are finish painted.
No didn’t cheat mate, if I had I would of painted it grey with a black stripe. You say the rims are finish painted? Say again?
@@keithoddautos5044 But good job with the body. 😊👍
