Looks wonderful. I think you might have forgotten to install the plastic sheet behind the interior door trims. Critical for damp and water control so the trim does not root and cause door frame rust
Hi there from down under in South Africa. You guys are the best. I absolutely love a Mark I. The best off-course is the Mexico. But this one looks the part. I bought myself a Ford F-250 to rebuilt, but after the tearing down part, I lost interest and just sold it. But you guys have the strength to go through with it. I salute you and will keep on watching your great episodes.
Some effort gone into that car in such a short time,just a shame that the engine that was out of your hands has let you down. The end result and and attention to detail is spot on .
That car is OFF THE CHARTS, love it love it, love it…. That might have taken a bit longer than planned, but to restore a MK 1 to that standard is commendable. I am so driven with the project i am looking into a trip to Birmingham to have a crack and to see her in the flesh…. AWESOME Lads, good job….!
Well Paul Kieth I have been blown away by this in-depth build of a iconic MK1 escort . Imo done to perfection from a basket case literally to a stunning escort I would be proud to own and show in your company name . It’s shown with skill determination and bloody hard graft you can get a quality car at the end . Engine builders lucky your honourable and haven’t named them ! It will get sorted look forwards to final videos will be worth waiting for! Myself and me mucka Steve booked in come down Friday so will defo look in on you both see her in the flesh meet and shake hands with two of the nicest guys on the web cheers see you soon Dave 👍🏻👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@keithoddautos5044 Well all I can say is the videos don’t do this car justice. Paul Kieth have made a car I would be proud to own it’s stunning in the flesh having chance meet you yesterday fellas your really down to earth Kieth is a humble guy mate lovely to meet and chat to you n shake Paul’s hand . The other creations you have made are a credit to your skill hard work and attention to detail the shortie GTi and bug were all mint hope the weekend goes as well as yesterday Friday all the best fellas don’t change a thing just go from strength to strength Dave 👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Guy’s I love the mk1 escorts and watching you build this replacing almost every piece of steel is amazing it should be registered as a new car like the guy’s from mst who have been building these and the mk2 registering them as a new car.It’s a quality build for a quality car great work lad’s
Well done guys . Shame about the engine but keep us updated. 2 things. Great to hear Weber carbies roar and great to see the front bumpers are level !!! One of my pet hates grrr
if its was me pretty as it can be, that head would be off in 20min, check the gasket cracks, check faulty springs or seeping valve. would doubt anything wrong with bottom end as there no smoke coming from the exhaust can only be cylinder head that needs checking. imagine taking a motor out 7 times in day just because the engineer forgot to replace my dial pins on the block which cause the starter not to line up, it kept slipping until i noticed the gearbox had a slight tilt fitted them dial and boom sorted. love my car nothing can comes close to the feeling of a mk1 escort quick and raw with best tunes coming from under the hood. well done gents amazing work and done to perfection better than factory. i restored 3 escorts and its not and easy job nor fun at time proper hard work, sweat and patience
Wow, just wow..! Watching the _Previously_ section's a good reminder of just how much work you both squeezed in to those three months! The finished motor - *Absolutely beautiful!!* Such a stunning example of this amazing 'scort..!! ...and don't feel too down-hearted about the few engine gremlins, judging by how far you've come, this'll probably be sorted by the time I finish typing this sentence! Great job buddies!!
Beautiful rig! I don't believe the Mark 1 Escort was ever sold in Canader. I have never seen one here. I certainly remember seeing a few Lotus Cortina's in the day. Keep up the good, and interesting, work. Cheers!
What a shame the engine has probs,be interestin in what has happened to it,my guess is the same as yours, it might be cracked,doesnt need much to screw compression.The colour is perfect,good one lads.
Awesome!!! Mark 1 is the only real escort and when you fitted the spotlights on it brought back memories. Wish I could crowd fund and buy it. Great series lads.
Wow what can I say stunning 😍 absolutely fantastic to see the cars in the flesh, finish to detail 👏 110% without hesitation, was great to see you today at the show boys and team, and a really great chat with you Keith get onto tic tok 😀 👍 hope to see you at a show again soon 😁🙃
The finished car looks amazing guys. A top job, I don’t think you’ll struggle to sell it. I’d have it if I had the money and I’m a classic mini fan. All though I’ve a soft spot for a mk1 escort 👍
Great end result guys. That car looks stunning, i love the different look by using the black bumpers, mirrors etc. It is those details that sets the car apart from the norm. WELL DONE. Now for the ultimate challange.........................................See if you can ship that car to me before May without exceeding your budget too much............. I know you can do it (lol) 😁😁😜 Pity i cannot be there for all those stunning car shows, maybe one day.🤞 Top Guys. From S.A
The Mk1 looks amazing gents 😍😍😍. Good work, you don’t fancy doing my Mgb do ya? 🙏🏼Bummer about the engine 😭😭. Looking forward to watching the next build .
Bit of an anti-climax but will be amazing when it's running. Look forward to seeing the new "Paul's projects" can't wait to see where the channel will go next
Name and shame the engine builder because that's a bloody shame 😡 That aside, it's bloody gorgeous The attention to detail is great, things like the white strip on the front lip 👍 Awesome job guys, loved every video. Wish I was over there to go to the show and meet you both and have a beer or 20. And Keith mentioned me! My last name was said when hanging the memorial on the wall 😎 Look forward to seeing lots more from you. HOO ROO 😊
Hi guys amazing finnish i actually want to see it in the flesh i hope to say hello on saturday i love this escort just looks right shame about engine but im sure you will see her right you both are very humble very honest and masters at what you do please dont ever stop 👍👍👍
Stunning work lads it's unbelievable wot you have done . And I love that you have owned up that the engine has problems as a lot of people would keep that very quiet . And for the price you did it for stunning
Wow 👌 I always thought it was going to be brilliant and it better than that! For some reason I missed the notification but saw a glimpse of it on furious driving show walk about. I wouldn't beat myself up about the few snags you were always going to have a few. Have you got anywhere with them? I'm thinking valve sticking ,but really not sure about the coolant issue? Anyway I'm sure you'll sort it soon. Enjoy the show and I'm looking forward to the next installment. Well done.
Wicked end result lads. I love it. I have had similar grief from an engine build my end, but moved through it now. Looking forward to you next vid. David
Absolutely fantastic 💯 great build of British nostalgia.... Just a quick thought would it not have been cheaper to buy a kit??? Could that not be a idea next build up a kit version of a mk1 mk2 or even a mk1 cortina either way loving the content and loving watching the channel grow
Outstanding work lads wasn't sure about the fatter white stripes but it suits it in the end, one good thing the engine is easy to work on, amazing some so called specialist got it wrong, shame I can't go to the NEC this weekend would have liked to say hello and seen your cars
Excellent result with the car guys, pity about the engine. The engine builder must've been asleep while assembling it,, it's a pushrodder, the most simple engine to not stuff up lol. 👍
My heart normally drops when I hear "let's recap what we've done" but this was great; I'd forgotten just how rotten it was and how much fun you had sorting it out. On top of that, you're both so upbeat about everything, even the fact that your engine builder has dropped a bollock. Only you two can see the bright side (more videos) in that. Finally, you haven't got AN Escort for £20k; you've got THE Escort; it's gorgeous.
Absolutely stunning Paul and Keith, the blood sweat and tears you put in to the resurrection beggar's belief, shame about dodgy engine, not allowing you guys to have a blast to enjoy the fruits of you labour,

The 1.6l engine dramas are a blessing from the gods. The subscribers want to see a YB cosworth in its place. Well I do anyway 😂
without giving it any real thought a stuck inlet valve on number two. But hey great job on the tin work, interior pretty tasty too.
Stunning work lads 👑👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️❤️ #Blessed
Awesome
Looks wonderful.
I think you might have forgotten to install the plastic sheet behind the interior door trims. Critical for damp and water control so the trim does not root and cause door frame rust
Flippin heck! Your mate Austin is bloody handy, I’d probably have both hands and one foot permanently glued to the roof by now 🤣😂🤣😂
Epic build here guys, great looking car
Finally there is justification to fit a PINTO engine. Roll on the Mini Mk1 project ...
That’s a beauty! Well done lads
That looks absolutely awesome and you’ve done now and that’s nice I like it Demi good job in a petty self on the back you too
Quality of your work is flawless
fantastic looking car, brilliant build
