It is not a Ford Escort! DUH!!

@@JohnSmith-ei2pz Oh god not you as well. Look at that car, who designed it? Who made the shell & everything else on it? Ford did. It's a MK1 Ford Escort shell. That's all it will ever be know as. Same as ZCars who have been modding Minis for years now. Do you see them claiming that it's no longer a Mini anymore? No you don't. Just because this company decided to put some new modern go fast bits on it, doesn't mean you can rename the vehicle. What has been done here is called 'RetroModding' There is a massive community forming around this type of work on older cars & bringing them back to life. You remind me of that kid who bought a load of Robin Reliants & then slapped DeLorean badges & crap on it & called it a brand new DeLorean...no, it's a 3 wheeled car & that's what it'll always be.

@demondbellend0898 Have you remembered your drugs? Best ask Nursie!

@@JohnSmith-ei2pz th-cam.com/video/GGko6uK-Fik/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dp1lFdMd22QmcAXn Thats strange...why haven't you gone to rant at them saying 'RAAAR ITS NOT AN ESCORT!!! Or has you Mummy given you time out from the internet.

Yes everyyhing is interchangeable with the originals

yes fully rust protected, bodyshells are made in the UK with latest Automotive grade steel, sure we can do a BDA for you :)

@russcooke5671 did you see the two escort builds on retro power? When Nat spoke about these MST shells, the quality is not good, the alignment is all off, and even buying just the panels and nothing lined up with an original shell. That’s why they ended up repairing and using the original steel. Made in uk??? I think if not made outside uk, then the panels are pressed in another far distant country where all poor quality parts are made nowadays and then probably assembled and built in uk. If I’m wrong MST then stand by your product and make a video showing the shell making process in the uk please. Thanks a lot. They do still look great but I prefer my original RS1600

@@shaunsheep8252 I used to have an original twincam loved it. It had an Uprated engine The fella I bought it from years ago used to race cars in the 60s around Cornwall. He had lots of trophies for it It was quite low geared 85 in top and it was screaming but very quick acceleration.

@@shaunsheep8252 yes I watch it every week. My favourite one is still the one they done for Gordon Murray. Because it looks standard. I don’t like the big arches. Because they make the wheels look small. It’s a bit like a fat bird in a mini skirt So I would have the white one they done. I watched every episode of its build. The escorts they are doing now are beautiful cars though. I had a very fast rare mk two cortina 1600 E. converted by a company called crayford they only made two so a lot rarer then a savage.

​@@shaunsheep8252 MST shells are 100% built in the UK, they are built on purpose build jigs with over 30 shells built to date, alignment being off is absolute nonsense, like most of what is written on the internet. We will be publishing videos of the bodyshell assembly and fabrication soon as well as the body work and paint process, all which is done here in the UK, supporting British jobs and keeping the skills alive - be proud of our British automotive heritage!

If you have to ask,, you can't afford one.. LOL

@@SlimjimMK11 that’s a stupid answer….

But it is not YOUR money.. Have a cup of tea and a good lay down... LOL

Not built by Ford so what exactly are they? It's taken me 24 years to get all original panels for my MK3 Cortina build to ensure originality and like for like replacement. These are not Ford Escorts, they look like they are but they are no different to a fibreglass copy of a Ferrari with a VW Beetle engine. They look good of course, no dispute there.

@@mikeatcora I don’t know what is so wonderful about being built by Ford. I remember them as a cheap and cheerful product slapped together with no regard to durability much like all their competitors of that era. Personally I’d rather MST constructed them with a carbon Fibre body shell that would go some way to justify the price.

@@mikeatcora Chinese shells, without any crash testing?

​@@JohnSmith-ei2pz because the original cars aren't tin cans right?

@@urgandma Keep to your Audi & BMW rubbish!

I'd settle for a base model 1100, but I'm weird like that. My unfinished Mk1 Fiesta project is a 957cc Popular Plus, because I like noisy, slow and basic cars.

@@Zeem4 My daily drive is a 2012 Peugeot 107. 😂 Have had some belters but I'm calming down at last.

I had a MK1 1600 BDA !,,, why oh why did I sell it way back in 1974 ! 🤪🤔😳😖

all client builds

That doesn't really make any sense- unless every car that's assembled in a factory is somehow a 'kit car'. The original definition was: cars supplied as a kit that you build at home, which this clearly isn't- they are built to order in a small factory...

@@garethmcrae668 They look like Fords but they aren't so what are they? A copy of an old design in looks made up from non-original parts, still very good looking things though. There's no question about build quality but I'm possibly too fussy when it comes to originality.

@@mikeatcora ...and as they say 'cars are original only once.' When I was down at the gritblasters with my 70's Alfa (*😳), an early 'scorty was just out the blasting container. Very much a tea-bag with thousands of perforations in astonishing places. There was barely any Ford left. By the time that is made roadworthy, should it also be called something else? Without NOS parts, what options are we left with to keep old cars running but pattern parts? Admittedly a different question but some overlap with this debate. There is a modern iteration of the Alfa 105 made by Totem. Full carbon fibre monocoque and 10% bigger. I am too much of a Luddite to know how to link but worth a look- seems to be dubbed a 'Restomod' but it is an entirely new vehicle. * About as bad as could be- many body panels beyond saving- including nothing behind the rear seats...

@@garethmcrae668 It's taken me 24 years to get all original panels for my Cortina restoration, It will be all genuine Ford and I can be content in that, it's hard to find much for 70's Fords and the reason it's taken me so long.

What no chinese shells?

@@JohnSmith-ei2pz nothing not even a Chinese one.

Wing protectors taken off for the video 👍

@@MST_Cars corse they have!!🤔🙄
