That reaction from Chris is priceless... what a nostalgic sound that dump valve is :D
Agree 😝
thanks for the reply been looking on SA auto trader thinking of importing some cars
You have to paint it Rob. We've been following this car for ages and it would be a shame to not see the proper end result.
The crinkly A pillar interior trims, I remember replacing them under warrenty, takes me right back to when I was a 18 year old RS mechanic. Happy Times, we never realised at the time how nice those cars where to work on.
Laughed so much at Chris's reaction to dump valve. 🤣
When you showed steering slop, I thought the rack moved rather than the ball and cup part, clearly a good call to replace the rack. The brake pipe was a trial, corrosion and vibration make you work in difficult locations. Your smile, when it was all done, told the real story of joy and achievement.
I remember my grandad doing the tracking with a broom handle, and got it checked at the garage, and it was spot on. 😀 The good 'ol days.
have done the same with a jig made of 3x2 and 2 long wood screws to touch the inside of the rims rotate 180 degrees measure and adjust Took for free check and it was spot on! lol!
@@squeakmillward - Every time I've taken my car for a free check they take it out of sight go under the car and it's out every time.
@@lukey3507 Just a Kerching ! for the fast fit garages to get their monthley bonus :-(
I remember my dad used to do everything to his MK2 R.S 2000 when we were kids. He’d do his own break pads, oil changes, tracking everything. Hes 70 and retired ad he said he wouldn’t dare touch a modern car now. Give him a old Ford, Rover or Vauxhall he’ll do the lot.
Yes Rob those of us that had a Ford Escort turbo back in the 1980's loved them. One up from an XR3I but I got round that problem and had both cars.
My Escort turbo was a 1987 in diamond white and it was meticulously maintained by me but after 5 years of ownership I sold it on and within 2 weeks it was written off when the new owner hit a bridge. Not uncommon back then for Escort turbo's to be written off in accidents or stolen which is why they are perhaps reasonably scarce these days to find a really good example.
Enjoying the video as it does bring back good memories for me.
Great to see it back on the road and Chris's reaction was brilliant. Well done guys
It's great to see a beautiful RS Turbo in such safe hands guys.
Beautiful car !
Hi Rob and Chris, great to see that Escort back on the road, it's not just an Escort, it's a classic Escort, whole different league
That’s not just an escort! That’s a classic! Props to the restoration, im proper enjoying your videos. Keep up the content. You two are living legends
Love this lads. Great reaction by chris. Get it all done and painted. And all those silly bits changed. They be queuing up the road for it.👍
Great position to be in with this car. The MOT could have been a much bigger hurdle. Well done Rob.
I absolutely love the fact it’s got a dump valve on it , cracking video rob 🚙 💨
This is a gurt mint channel! - this does take me back to my youth!!! my first motor was a mk4 Escort. However with a being freshly licensed driver! The closest I had to any thing quick was my parents ‘83 Vauxhall cavalier CDI (1.8i) - quick motor or ride/have ago inmates fast fords stupid enough to pay the high insurance . However MY first car, needed to be sensible and a Ford and in a strange way somehow ended up being a nod to my childhood - surrounded by various mk3/4/5 diesel ford escort vans. My first car ended up being FORD ESCORT 1.6 DL in maroon 5 door hatch - Loved it. So simple to work on. First job within days of car ownership as a young 17 year old chap, new head gasket. So the seller gave me a hand. Only to then find out, once replaced the actual problem being a 15p core plug! Rob and Chris love the videos. (Getting me spanner’s out once more-again, blinking copper injector seal has gone on my mk6 Ford Fiesta 1.4 tdci. It’s old and about to be banned from the city centre, thanks to some muppet at the council, but I love driving it can’t bare to part from it.) - back to the escort - remember It’s not just an Escort, cars back then were unique. Simple. and you soon knew who were the best Ford scrap dealers ford Ford parts.
@4:55 just as you asked what we thought about the steering rack, I could not take my eyes off the miss-alignment of the driver's door.
Wasn’t an RS Turbo for me, but a silver XR4i, loved that car. Had so much fun with it, almost cried the day I sold it!
every fliipping 80s ford ive ever had sold for bugger all is now priced sky high... im still crying !!
@@abc33944 know how you feel, had the chance to buy Capri 280 in 1993 for 5k. Wish I could turn back time☹☹
Chris' reaction... I think he secretly loves that dump valve and he was 19 all over again!!
Robs turned 22 again and one happy chappy.. Great to see that smile mate and so well deserved 👍
That’s all it takes rob to put a smile on your face and take you back a few decades to your youth, even working on the escort you were happy, great to hear Chris,s opinion of the dump valve I couldn’t agree more why on earth would you want to listen to that, looking forward to seeing your next post on this one, ps on our escort you had to put a blanket on it at night in winter and any moisture then it was a nightmare to start, I must have spent as much time pushing it as I did driving it but my wife loved it so it became an adopted family member, and yes she did cry when we finally got rid of it
Great to see that RS again guys, and finally with an MOT,, love watching your video's, keep them coming 👍
Chris sounds like my mum when I used to take her shopping in my old motor. Enjoy the motor and don't forget the NafNaf jacket...... LOL 😂
Those jackets take me back and those Fat Willy's window stickers
Nafnaf jackets now I am feeling old.😄
Do you remember Spliffy Jackets and Eclipse Jeans etc. Damn im getting old as dirt 😂😂
@@poohbear8012 had a eclipse t shirt lol 😂 and don't forget global hyper colour.
@@paulmartin4971 The memories' time sure does fly by wore the eclipse jeans I thought I was the sheeet. 😂😂
Ah here lads. I was 17 all over again watching you size up the rod ends and brake pipes. Exactly how I was taught. Great and happy memories. Thanks so much for that video.
My wife used to have one back in the day great to see you have fun and smile a lot
Perfect timing just sat down after a days work
Edd China did a great explanation of tracking recently.
Chris’s dump valve oh no!!!!
Just managed to watch video..brought back some great memories...had a rosso red rs turbo for 7 years..still miss it and that was 27 years ago..replaced it with my sapphire cosworrh but couldn't afford to keep both..at least the sapphire has power steering..I remember jumping out of a truck after a lesson and jumping into my turbo with no power steering.. nearly hit a wall...defo dump.the dump valve...I know you will look to sell but keep it long enough to enjoy driving it...the smiles will never get tedious 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Great to see.
And the dump valve... Marvellous! Brilliant video and enjoy the weekend!
Make it stock and original, get all the paint done , and keep it for yourself rob , call it a reward for all the great content 👍🏻
That's what I was thinking. With the memories and nostalgia, it's obviously much more than another project.
Keep it Rob.
Take it to shows and geek out with other RS enthusiasts.
You can drive round Essex and play your CD in the sunshine 😁
You know you want to 😀😀👍
Why not go the whole hog and go full concourse on it 😁
Well worth swapping that steering rack out for £60 Rob! Keep up the great work!
I am very surprised that you are not going to keep this one Rob. You say how much you love it. You definitely need to have it painted and show everyone the end result however long it takes.
Seeing you make the brake pipe brought back memories. My 1st ever job was as an inspector in a tube manipulation plant making brake pipes amongst other things . Checking the angles of bends and rotations and distances was a nightmare . We had a thoroughly basic computer to check it all and when you got it right , the operator would pick it up and it all moved for the tube was so flexible! . i expect its so much easier thesedays . i hope!
Chris's reaction was golden when he heard that, you knew exactly what he was going to say Rob. 🤣
I know this might seem obvious and maybe there's a good reason why you don't do it, but couldn't you just lay the old and new track rods side by side and work out how far you need to go to get it to the right setting?
Great video as usual lads, thank you. 👌👍
You could bud yes 👍
" This is gonna be easy"- The nut and bolt Gods begin laughing.
Hi Rob and Chris, guy's the dump valve.. I was laughing so much at Chris's reaction.. the disappointment in his voice..!!! Brilliant, Alex.
Haha love Chris's reaction when the dump valve went off 🤣
Come on guys let's get this beauty back on the road
Yes agree with you 100% percent
The disappoint in chris voice after he heard the sound of the car 🤣
Keep doing what you do best
🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Rob and Chris nice one.Old School Fords Never Die.
Rob that escort did give you the biggest smile from ear to ear !!
Re living your youth.
Enjoyed watching you working on it, well done good video as always.
What's the brand of oil you guys use? You seem to have a couple of north sea oil fields in old containers there. 😁👍
Lol
Brand new old stock!
Absolutely love it. You’re putting so many smiles on so many faces. I remember the 80s and all the Ford classics.
Best thing to come out of 2021 is this channel.
Oh and dent was there from before ,when you pulled it out of the shed you said the brothers had drop something on it.
Love the vids guys some of those motors take me back 30 years ,when I had a Mrk2 Escort Mexico bright orange roll cage bucks the works .
Wish I still had it now
seeing the smile on your face Rob i think you need to keep this one for the summer only
was shouting at the telly about the rack when you owned up - good man, this is why we all watch.
still miss my mk3, bloody wimmen, mortgages, kids, all together, it was only 75% of my wages at time after all...... [ 20yo + 8 points]
Brought back memories of my dad's escort look look at the clock under the rear view mirror lol and those cassette holders jeez nostalgia great stuff 👍
Brings back memories of my Fiesta RS Turbo I still regret selling it. Keep up the great work. 👍
I was stationed in Germany back in the 90’s and these were all the rage back then.This project has brought back such great memories, so thank you.
You and Chris should be proud of yourself doing that car it takes me back to the 80s and 90s lovely to have a car again that summer or next offering
Didnt realise I was grinning away also until Rob said he was. Had 3 Escorts in the day, one was x3ri, loved it. Great vid again👍
Miss my Mercury grey series 2 turbo. Soon as I turned the key to start it the smile started and didn't end until it was turned off. Great video guys again
Oh the smell of nostalgia 😍, nice to see you take the apprentice out for a spin rob🤣🤣🤣
Rob..you are just like a big kid smiling with that RS Escort. I was lucky enough to buy a new, same model 1600i - loved it with the nice Recaros..
Had an rs engine in my escort cab back in the day
Those were the days driving about all weekend going to cruises in the late 90s
Great vid guys! Brings back memories. I had a 1984 Escort GT 1.6 non turbo (Canadian). Not much power but fun to drive.
Lovely Car Rob. You have done everything to it. And a new Mot. Nice one
Go full resto and run it through the classic auctions you walk round. Great content that would be. 👌🏼🤙🏼
What a lovely Ford Escort time capsule 😃💖
Love these motors. Glad you guys saved this one.
damm right about simple to repair there Rob, i blew a piston out of the side of the block on a mk2 escort tooo many years ago, i sourced a complete running shell for £35, and changed the engine, and got it running with about 5 different spanners and sockets,but lining up the engine/gearbox and starter motor i did scuff my knuckles so plus 1 plaster and expletives, them were the days :) :) ,keep them coming top quality motors as usual, and no corners cut just pure simple quality workmanship
I was just waiting for the response from Chris on that one 🤣. Great update Rob 👍.
Great video Rob, love the old RS Escorts, Series 1 was my favourite brought back many memories messing about with cars at the weekends.
Awwwww mate !!!! Chris’s reaction to that stupid dump valve was priceless
I’m smiling for you reminds me of charging down to south end every Saturday night top job👍
Great job, and an extra thumbs up for the stunt you pulled on Chris 😂🤣👍
Think we should have a vote for the dump valve lol. Chris would love that,
Do all the bits, then get the paint done and keep it for shows and FUN !!!
Oh the memories . Thanks Chris and Rob for another great vid. Chris your reaction to the dump valve so reminded me of my dad 🤣.
Who doesn't love NOS? I use it whenever I possibly can, superb boys!
Lovely Escort guys!! You should do the paint and keep it till the begging of shown season next year 👍 I love just sitting in my mk3 so understand you completely at the end of this video 🙌 keep making them videos guys!!
Loved the escort had two of them. A mark 2 and Mark 4. The mark 4 was a 1400cc and was heavy on fuel
Great to see, I’d love my S1 back, rust and all.
This channel just gets better and better. This motor is such a beauty. Top work as always lads!
Sorry just finished ur vid
Always great to watch so thanks for all your time xx
Hearing a turbo spool up will make any man grin like a cheshire cat.
Hey Chris just count the rotations of the track rod ends when you remove them.and wind on same amount on new rack
I can really relate to you and the escort rob. I smiled the hole way through the test drive. I would love all the ones I’ve owned back. 😢😢
Good to see work on the RS again, been looking at those wheels and clear indicators and although nice i cant help thinking they should be returned to original as per the theme with the engine de-bling.
Love the video, yes I had one and yes l get your smiling with it. I'm with Chris dump the dump valve.
I get really great reactions from passers-by when I take one of my Grey Ferguson tractors out. Most smile, many wave, but it`s such a joy to have a little trundle around my village. One thing that Chris would hate though is one of them is petrol/TVO (Chris will know what I`m talking about) and if I can get the mixture right it will create some wonderful backfires on the overrun! No turbos, no dump valves, just wonderful 1940s/50s technology with a little tinkering!
Brought back memories of when I did the steering rack on my XR3. That was a common fault on those Escorts
If I have to rough track i run a string line from back tyres to front and try to touch at 4 points - normally gets 95% there - love your work lads!,
Takes me back to the good old days of racing RS’s in my Renault 19 16v phase 1. They were always so surprised 😂
What we used to do at Scanias was loosen the track rod locknut before undoing the track rod end. Then count the revolutions of the track rod end to wind it off. Wind the new one back on the same number of turns. It also worked on the ends of the link rod from the steering box.
Was always within tolerance.
The rs is super clean underneath ,looks really nice 😁
Remember my dads xr3i loved that my favourite car of all time. Love oldish fords. Think you should keep it for meet and greets and weekends, Rob and Chris on the road could be a new channel in the making 😆
I think you should keep this one, Rob... as a fellow car enthusiast, I can see your connection with the car, more so than most I've seen you with.
Get it back to factory standard, enjoy it, and show it!
Glad to see the progress it is alway fun to see a car from your youth but better when you can relive it.I’m always excited when I see a 1974 Formula Firebird so I get it.
Haha loved Chris's reaction to the dump valve ... bought back some happy memories for me too rob , great video
Rob. That was fantastic putting that dump valve on without Chris knowing 👍🏻 His reaction was absolutely perfect 👍🏻 Couple of Chav boys riding round in the escort. Should of had a road trip too Southend-on Sea lol 😆 It’ll be a fantastic car for a Ford lover 🤩
Woooooosh! " Oh Rob, you've ruined it" 😆 classic! Great video!
Great vlog , complete with dodgy dump valve ! really enjoyed this one 👍👍👍
Brings back memories of my red G plate car, probably my favourite car I’ve owned to date as it was iconic back in the day.
Had a lovely tone to the exhaust and a great Turbo whistle.
Love Chris’s reaction when you fitted the dump valve. I would keep it on it if and when you come to sell it
Never owned one but always liked the RS Turbo. Nice one fellas.
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
This channel makes me smile after a troublesome day in the trade. Started to really warm fast Fords. Born 77 in trade since 2005
There was a purple s2 escort rs turbo parked up two doors down from my grandfathers house for the 18, 19 years I was going there. Never saw it move, always wanted to hear it run. Looked out out the window at it every single time we drove past
