I had an Escort Mk2 estate. My first car! Not sexy but it was a really good beast to have. I’d had bike for years so I knew any car I could afford would be sooo sloooow. So I bought carrying capacity & it was a blast. Had it for around 7 years. Changed clutch & gearbox. Renewed brakes, several wheel bearings, learned basic maintenance. Never let me down. Hated winter morning cold starts. Used to take the battery inside overnight! That wasn’t uncommon in the 1980s. The huge change happened with the Japanese invasion. Even their earliest imports were just stunningly reliable. I’ve still got the old bikes 😊
@@accelerateyoutube I don't know about that I know that roads got a few points you can use as a guide to guess how quickly you got to the speed limit 😉😉
@@accelerateyoutube out of the fast cars I've been lucky enough to sit in, I'll safely say I'm not into the number chasing but if a car can scare me with lower/ similar HP than my own car it's a good time
Never been a fan of Fords but can’t help but appreciate the work Mark’s put into the build plus with all these new cars there’s no character which this one certainly doesn’t lack 👏🏼 Don’t think I’ve ever seen Ken react like that either 😆
Just come across this!! Man after my own heart!!! Iv got the same car 3 door 1.8 SI in cirus blue but I got a new 1.8 silver top and had it fully built, turbo the lot It’s running around 270bhp
I absolutely love this look. Does it come standard with the side skirts,front and rear bumper if it does not where can i find them or dit you make the by yourself.
This car is awesome 😍! I have a mk6 escort and I love that front bumper, have you got any information about that? I would like to have one of those for my escort. Thanks!
I believe all the Ford Escorts were good in different ways. The Mk6 gets a lot of disrespect for being Grans last car and such, as does the Mk5, but there's incredible versions of both of them, from the Cosworth to the RS to home builds like this, and they stand up to the mk3/4 in a lot of ways.
You are spot on! I've always appreciated each generation of Escort. The Mk4 was always "my generation" but now I've experienced Marc's I realise I love them all lol Thank you for watching & commenting! - Drew

That has got to be one of the smartest Escorts ever. Such a good video and fair play to Mark for the effort 👏
Completely agree brother! Especially as he did all the work himself!
Appreciate the support as always! 🙏

Awesome video, awesome car
More exciting than a modern Audi, you do not need 800 hp for smiles.
Absolutely not 👌🏻
What a weapon that is, quality vid again lads
Thanks man! 🙏
The video really doesn't show how bonkers it is 😂

Absolute beast! I helped my brother convert his MK5 RS2000 to a similar setup back in 2012
Wow! RS2000s are certainly getting rare nowadays. Does he still have it?
Thank you for watching!

Sideskirts are a standard ford item on the rs2000 and GTi
Front bumper is aftermarket.
That looks nuts why does your videos make me want to look at so any different cars for sale 🤣
😂😂😂 I feel the exact same! Every car we feature, I go home and see what's for sale 😂
- Drew
Amazing machine👌
Love this car what a beast
It is insane! The video doesn't portray how bonkers it is lol

I’ve got a 3 door 14 cvh which isn’t as quick, that is mental ❤
3 doors are just so cool!

Morettes on a mk6 are the best looking morettes lovely machine that

- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube it really is, I've had a few MK6's but never one that wild....
currently building my own zetec turbo mk6 escort
