Great to see you & EvilGT both doing Focus RS rebuilds! Good luck with yours Dean 🖖
Evil GT have struggled with parts too. They’re doing the ST arch thing at £60 each
Don’t forget seatbelts locking out. I think these also have a airbag ecu for them that needs to be programmed or replaced.
You are one of the only youtubers i sit through the whole video, love your content❤️
Lovely Jubbly, you never let us down on content and pricing of parts etc Dean, looking forward now to the assembly part next.
thankyou Dean,,seems youve had a right result re parts,,a great video,, looking forward to the follow ups,,👌👍
You’ve had a right touch with this it’s a great motor
Great car Dean, so chuffed you have taken on a fast ford as a project. Keep up the great work mate.
Great video Dean love them focus's 😊 Dean not many on the roads ni more I'm sure youl make it a great car again well worth doing and the value of them cars now will only keep increasing buddy keep it up fella and good luck with it!.👍
Love your descriptive videos, look forward to the start. 👍👍👍👍👍
Even bent out of shape these things look fantastic. Good luck with the repairs it’ll be a great series. What an amazing colour! 👊
That clicking sound is dreadful. Sounds a bit like the blend door actuator issue in the Fiesta multiplied by 100.
This is the best colour in mk2 RS imo
Amazing colour, yes. Obviously just not quite bright enough for the eejit who drove into it! 🙄
Nice work on gathering the parts, should come together relatively quick now!🤞🏼
Excellent, sounds like a cheap fix all being well, can't wait for pt3,
Love the r8 and look forward to seeing the focus fixed 😊
Brilliant content, keep up the great work 👍
Nice one dean getting there with it mate won’t be long till your driving it looking forward to seeing the next video and I love the colour of it 👍
You might not read this but for the R8, along with that oil pipe (as you probably know the updated replacement is SS not mild steel so won't corrode as much) you may as well rebuild the oil/coolant heat transfer box (which is attached to the other end of that pipe, behind the blade). Commonly called the oil cooler but I don't think it's an actual cooler, just a way to transfer heat to/from the coolant.
Very common leak point especially if sat. It corrodes and pushes the plates apart and exposes the oil channels. £800 from Audi but for a few £ you can split it, replace the top piece and renew the seals/bolts for not a lot of money or time.
Looks like a straight forwardish repair, prices not bad for the parts, think you'll have this sorted in no time, great car, just not a Vag !!, Great job Dean, looking good.
Really looking forward to seeing the progress on this Dean!
It's really nice to see that you have made a purchase that can bring you a few £ in profit😊
Good for you 😊👍😊
Looks like you’ve got a result there👍 these are definitely the best looking RS ford made (apart from the escort RS2000)
They seem to be issuing cat "s" markers for so many vehicles that should not be right now. My theory is Copart has alot to do with it. Copart pay less percentage for a cat "s" than a cat "n" to insurance companies. Copart will have alot of influence over what category they are, & as salvage values are still ridiculously high Copart are very confident that they can still do crazy money. So they are in a win win situation. Pay less for them & make them do more than they usually would than in the pre covid days. Im just looking forward to when the job slows down, which will then force them to re-evaluate there marketing procedure. ie let them be sold for a reasonable cost, as right now very few salvage vehicles are worth bothering with.
I have a mk2 ST atm ultimate green mk2 RS is a dream car for me but the prices for a low mileage clean one are out of reach now. It’s hard seeing my dream car in this state, it will be satisfying to see it brought back to its former glory. Great content, look forward to the next!
Great video again, keep them coming 👍
It’s a nice spec car, it’s going to be great when it’s done 👍
Few ideas on the clicking, obvs steering is over the place, not sure its the pump though as that would be louder out the car. To me that sounds like the HVAC system in the centre - something is hitting the motor/fan assembly. It happened on my megane and my mondeo, when one of the blades inside was damaged/impacted by something. So may be a dash apart job.
Great content, love the honesty and the upfront view of everything. All the joys of repairing cars. Good fun. Keep it up mate. Your channel deserves to take off.
It's nice when a plan comes together 👍🏽
Out of all the cars I see on TH-cam this is my dream car love my fast fords
Great that you had contact from the previous owner with supporting photos, that will be a positive when selling it
Always a relief Dean when the damage is not as bad as you might have expected and the parts are reasonable. Should be fixed very quickly. Nice one. Cheers, Bob
Haha, yes. You're so right, I never thought I'd meet you here. How have you been doing?
Good vid Dean, keep up the good work
As always great content thats why I'm subscribed and keep coming back really hope at some point you can take the plunge and entertain us full time,
Nice to see something interesting than vag but if I'm 💯 I'm a lover of German engineering
great video Dean sounds awesome
Great vid looking forward to the next episode 👍
Ah, cheap standard Focus parts to the rescue.....Good News....well done matey, this is going to be a rescue for sure.....🤔😳😏😏🇬🇧
That must've been heartbreaking for previous owner - your modded pride and joy written off by someone who doesn't look before pulling a u turn
Loving this RS journey. 👌🏾
M2 Comp vs RS just for the pops and bangs! 👊🏾💯 #highfive 🖐🏾
great find this chanell, coming from other rebuilding chanells.
The best thing to come from the Ford/Volvo partnership was the focus RS and RS500 with the Volvo 5 pot in it, i want one of those
Beautiful car - the very best RS colour also in my opinion..mk2 Focus STs and RS are the dogs….👍
Again, good show!
Enjoying this one thanks!!!
Great work hope it goes well
I would replace all the oil pipes with the updated versions on your audi r8. I am doing my own at the moment. They rub on the bodywork. I would also replace the oil cooler Dean. They are starting to fail like the pipes. I was interested in bidding on your focus but ended up with a focus rs mk3 to sort out. You done well on sorting your parts out.
Wow Dean. It sounds like it's not going to be Cheap too fix. I do hope that you can sort something out. That R.S is very very nice and the Right colour lol. I wish it was here in Ireland. Perfect Colour Haha. Anyway Dean good luck with this one. I cant wait to see. Great Video's 😅😅
This car ages so well 👍
Great video again. You'll be a rich man when you sell all these projects!
Yep. You get absolutely rinsed by Ford on parts for any 'performance' model.
I once had a '91 Granada Scorpio with the Cosworth BOA V6. Any time trying to buy parts direct from Ford, when they asked which engine and I said '2.9 Cosworth V6' I could see the £ signs light up in their eyes.
I needed a new rubber donut (jurid coupling) for the propshaft and two outer CV joints for the rear driveshafts. At the time there weren't any aftermarket options available.
"We don't sell those parts separately. You have to buy the whole propshaft and two complete driveshafts."
'How much?'
"The propshaft is £600 + VAT. The halfshafts are £540 + VAT. - Each."
At the time that was more than the car was worth.
I ended up selling the car to a local Classic Ford business as a breaker. That Granada was my third & final Ford.
Good stuff, love the content!👍🇮🇪
Great video well detailed and ford and volvo share parts
Great video mate
Loved your videos
11:01 same power steering unit as the volvos of around 2010 my c30 has same unit and that wheel looks in at the top so check that suspension leg as it enters the hub.
Love fords- everything just bolts off and on.
Seen evil GT on about focus RS prices. Crazy
Loved it❤💪🏽
I cant wait for the m2 video
its looking good mate
Dude what an investment. A great way to invest your money. Really enjoy your post's. 💯👍
If that's all the parts you need Dean, you've properly dodged a 'RS tax' bullet!! As stated already, Evil GT are being hammered with parts prices 😮 check out the price they paid for a bonnet and two vents🤪
Result Deano 👍👍👍
Nice one Dean
great work please note that the steering arm is a ford part only and the track rod end they only work for the rs and not the st
Sounds sweet 😊
Great video again
Nice sound !!!
Some decent deals there for the parts
Well done on parts good project car is nice colour
EVIL GT are just restoring one of these Focus RS. He found out that the wheel arch liner is basically one and a half ST liners riveted together. He shows it in his video and rebuilding the front bumper
Great video 👍
Love the Kawasaki Ninja green on that car!! Really pops!! Pick it over an R8 i think actually! Whens next video?? Greatings from sunny sweden. /J.
Brand new second hand steering pump 👍🏻
I think that clicking noise when you start is the steering pump. The dash lights were dimming in time with the clicks and the steering pump is about the only part that draws ~50a hence causing dimming.
Excellent thank you 👍👍👍
Great content. Great car.
Evil GT is doing one atm and they have the same problem with the wheel arch but are giving it a go there self as doesn't look like a hard job worth checking out there channel to get an idea off prices and parts they are using as well
Looks like insurance companies are writing cars off for fun now. They’re really not loosing out anyway with the extortionate prices they charge customers. Less paperwork for them to write it off rather than get involved in repairs that may go wrong and then it’s completely different ballache for them.
Sound sweet
Cheers mate 😎 👌
Good video as usual, how about maybe a collaboration with Jake of 1st Track Dents (PDR) to remove the door dents? I’m looking forward to whatever you do next, thanks
Watch added.
Evil GT are about to make the wing liners.
That PAS pump is a programmable module just to let you know 👍
Can't beat a fast Ford for content.
If that was my car I’d have purchased it back myself… shocking categorisation never a cat S…
Great content mate 👍
Yeah I was thinking about it after, it should never of been written off really! If the wing and bumper wasn’t so expensive this would of just been repaired! Stupid RS tax is writing cars off unnecessarily
I was thinking that as well it doesn’t look particularly badly damaged,what a waste.
@@Axelfl6161 I know, it looks like it was the owners pride and joy he looks to have spent a fortune on it. PS4S’s aren’t cheap. But hey better for us 👍
"Front upper" and "front inner" wing supports count as Cat S. So it may well be that little bracket that did it.
Enjoyed it
Love this car
I might actually have those aircon pipes you need will check tomorrow for you!
just got to part where you've already ordered it aha
Evil GT also rebuilding crash damaged RS. The RS tax is ridiculous. £300 for bonnet vents. They also mentioned the ST arch liners
Great car 👌
Looking good to fix, not too expensive 😂
Rs tax is real was watching evil gt and a wheel arch liner 600 odd each but it’s 2 st liners stuck together good luck with this one hope you can find some bargains 👍
I think I’ve been quite luckily with localised damage, so only need the bumper and wing. Most other parts are shared with the ST so don’t command the RS tax 😮💨
Looking forward to seeing the end result thanks for your entertaining videos keep up the good work 👏🤙
Just put this comment about evil gt too 😆 🤣 😂
The sound this makes is lurrrvly
You need to keep this one when done mate only going up in value
Cool car 👊👊👊
That head unit is rare . Good system that . Zenec I believe .
Need a screen washer bottle too by the looks of things.
Hills salvage in skelmersdale are breaking a mk2 green focus r/s 0:37
A and K motorsport are good for parts get a de cat pipe to unlease the 5 pot sound and keep the cat for the M.O.T.
