Cheers for all the kind comments I just wish all this was over so I can get out in it.its took 10years to build with running an mot station you have to keep your customers happy first.
That car is amazing i had a shot of adrenaline just watching id like to see the focus aswell you have made a truly amazing car looks stunning pure car porn
@@andy0175 morning andy unfortunately for me we are still in this bloody lockdown I sent the logbook off around 7 weeks ago but due to the lockdown dvla must only be doing important stuff they will be very busy with the taxing of vehicles and sorting stuff out with cars driving around without mots I'm in no rush but it will come back at a 2ltr once this is over
@@barrystephenson7427 excellent, I just wondered how it all worked now it had a different engine in. I'd be tempted to put the 1.1L badge back on aswell👍😜
I used to own C100TAB Series One, my mate Adrian Eastbury concoursed it when I sold it to buy my first 3door Cossie. Best in country for years, won every RS owner's club show it entered. Love your channel mate, proper people, no poncy bollocks.🤙
Cracking build, I'm in the middle of building a Series 2 RWD YB, I'm at the 10 year mark with mine but not quite finished. This just gave me a bit of extra incentive to get it finished. Fancy a trip to Cardiff in the future Adam !!!!
It's nice to no that someone would take on a job like that because I'm sure there will be plenty with the money but finding someone to take on an immense job like that,well more important you no he can do it and do it properly..👌🏼🇬🇧🙏🏼
Andrew Gallagher Motorsport been doing cosworth conversion s for year's, I've still got the fast ford magazine when his carbon focus was on front page 👍,I've got loads old fast ford and performance ford magazine's from about 10 years ago,and got loads S1 (reps) with cossie running gear...👍..and mk1 rs focus (reps) with cossie running gear as well...
My first car was a 1300 L MK3 three door Caspian blue escort wot It could of been 19 years later I still check eBay for MK3 projects it's the only way getting back to reality difficult times much love 4 these videos Adam keep them coming 😋
I love your videos my brother. Most especially when it comes to motorcycle and when motorcycle engine is in a mini Ven, i love the speed and balance bro.
All the Cosworths really suited the white and the RS Turbo Not really a big Vauxhall fan but have always had a soft spot for the Mk1 Astra GTE again they really suited the white I had a white XR3i back in 1996 and had it mint, drove down to Whitley Bay from Glasgow and so many other petrolheads would toot the horn and give us the thumbs up, always mind the landlord in the B&B saying Id better keep an eye on it lol Good times
Its about time he finished the bloody thing, got sick of looking at it in that garage and lost count of the cars I've had and sold in the time he's had to build that 🤣🤣
Brilliant vid! Stunning car sounds amazing! Great to watch as usual keep the vids coming when possible! In the mean time hope you and your family keep safe during this shite time
What a beast... Bet ya cars never been worked on as much has it Adam, spent my time on the driveway doing literally every little job on the damn thing lol !!! Have good weekend bud, or as good as it can be !!!
For the non-UK amongst us, is this chassis FWD from factory? And has had the rear half of the floor replaced with a floor from similar model boasting RWD?
Thanks Adam for still uploading with all that's happening in the world and thanks Barry for sharing your amazing machine with us, much appreciated lads 👍
Hey Adam , just subbed to your channel , never had any erformance fords , y first car was a mk1 ,1.1l which I wrapped round a lamp post about 5 miles away from Arnold. Larke shiremoor , that used to be a major ford dealership . I have been in there many times . My following cars were a mk1 1.1 and a mk21.1 . If you want to get the oil of your drive try gunk drive clean , be warned you may need to do your whole drive , pour it on neat and scrub it in then hose it off
The point of it was got another mk2 fiesta 1.1 34k body is well rough got it for about 400 and has escort alloys on , you like bikes got an 89fzr that I’m working on .
Some car tha bro love a series 1 turbo. But I’ve got to say where’s ur bloody mask an gloves 🧤 if ur meting up with other people out side ur house hold. Tut tut tut Adam think of ur miss an ur beautiful daughter mate we love ur videos but they not worth catching this covid 19 an taking it home to ur loved ones me old mate
The old duel turbo head pull aways good , need to say bro but really need to be self isolating not raging around in cars sitting so close etc not setting a good example and you have kids , videos can wait while the world deals with this , be safe everyone
how do you insure something like that, over here in ireland we get screwed just for normal factory produced cars and not even very performance oriented ones at that .
What to cut up and chop a original S1? ,know would use a genuine S1 unless was wrecked bc off the value off a S1. . But loads off these was done back in day,was two with nearly same number plate saying boost,I've got loads old fast ford and performance ford magazine's over ten year old and is loads off these conversions, A other common conversion was mk1 rs focus rep with cossie running gear 👍
If you could put any car/engine combination together. What would it be?
Vxr engined mk2 nova
Always wanted k20 turbo mini . Love minis n love hondas
2jz in a e30
2jz volvo940
8v turbo in my nova

Beautiful car, beautifully built and an absolute stunning car to look at it,
👍👍👍👍👍A real blast back to the 80's love it.
That car is amazing i had a shot of adrenaline just watching id like to see the focus aswell you have made a truly amazing car looks stunning pure car porn
Barry, why is it still listed as having a 1117cc engine ?

A series 1 with a 4wd cosworth lump. It doesn’t get any better than that. Well done Barry. Most RS ford fan boys will approve.
A real " Fanny magnet" from the past ..... with a 400bhp engine ! Beauty !
I used to own C100TAB Series One, my mate Adrian Eastbury concoursed it when I sold it to buy my first 3door Cossie. Best in country for years, won every RS owner's club show it entered. Love your channel mate, proper people, no poncy bollocks.🤙
I’ve had 6 escorts. Apart from the rust I’ve loved them all, even my mk6 1.8d which had the performance of a slug on Valium.
Cracking build, I'm in the middle of building a Series 2 RWD YB, I'm at the 10 year mark with mine but not quite finished. This just gave me a bit of extra incentive to get it finished. Fancy a trip to Cardiff in the future Adam !!!!
Wow ..that must be a great feeling to say yep I built that ! The closest a man gets to giving birth !
Nice one Bazler ..
Theres nothing like the flutter of a cozy turbo, nice work
It's nice to no that someone would take on a job like that because I'm sure there will be plenty with the money but finding someone to take on an immense job like that,well more important you no he can do it and do it properly..👌🏼🇬🇧🙏🏼
Love this. Possibly my favorite car I've seen on your videos.

What a car . Power to weight must be crazy and it looks fast in video. That's a great video Adam as ever
What a car. Absolutely gorgeous. Miss mine.
My first car was a 1300 L MK3 three door Caspian blue escort wot It could of been 19 years later I still check eBay for MK3 projects it's the only way getting back to reality difficult times much love 4 these videos Adam keep them coming 😋
That is a proper bit of kit,love it.
Brilliant car, so much hard work gone into that, and it shows. Credit to Barry.
Lovely car, a lad called Dave round North Yorkshire has had 1 for a while absolute classic!!
That is some serious graft into that. Fantastic motor!
Just a thing of pure beauty, loving the channel Adam ... be nice to get daddy’s rwd escort cosworth featured 1 day

What a great job BARRY looks and sounds amazing
Very nice job I bet that thing like a missile I love the Old ESCORT,s Nice nice Barry I bet alot of time & cash gone into this PROJECT : )
Beautiful car. The Series 1 really has aged well compared to many cars of its era. Ford had some great car designers back in the 80s.
I love your videos my brother. Most especially when it comes to motorcycle and when motorcycle engine is in a mini Ven, i love the speed and balance bro.
Lovely car Barry ! And got to say you both seem like a couple of spot on lads, keep up the good videos. 😀

Good job Baz! Bit different to that mk 1 RS Focus you used to polish the life out off. LoL
Child hood dream car and still dream car to this day if I won some big money I would want one just like that so clean 😍😍😍🤩🤩😍😍😍
Awesome car but thank god it's based on a X reg 1.1 and not a genuine RST.
All the Cosworths really suited the white and the RS Turbo
Not really a big Vauxhall fan but have always had a soft spot for the Mk1 Astra GTE again they really suited the white
I had a white XR3i back in 1996 and had it mint, drove down to Whitley Bay from Glasgow and so many other petrolheads would toot the horn and give us the thumbs up, always mind the landlord in the B&B saying Id better keep an eye on it lol
Good times
Quality video mate!!. What a beautiful car!!! 😍😍😍

What a beast of a car, very nice 😁👍
That is heavy mate
That’s the bollox mate, had a few of the rs range and would keep this for good 😎
Great car but think a standard series 1 would have been a good idea 👍🏻
What to cut up and chop a original S1? ,know would use a genuine S1 unless was wrecked bc off the value off a S1. .
But loads off these was done back in day,was two with nearly same number plate saying boost,I've got loads old fast ford and performance ford magazine's over ten year old and is loads off these conversions,
A other common conversion was mk1 rs focus rep with cossie running gear 👍
Nice video mate, love the older fords deffo deserves a👍
