Good afternoon Dave the gas man in his garage 🤣 That was a really nice job 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
not many can say this now but they are fun to drive :)
great to see one coming back to life
have a great day :)
Couldn't agree more!
Hey Dave, fantastic video. Thanks to watching and learning from you on how to weld and repair chassis, floors and sills, etc. I've just had my mk6 escort motd, I rebuilt both rear chassis, repaired floors replaced inner sills outer sills and repaired the rust damage wings, and it passed with only minor bush wear advisory,
Thank-you, keep up the fantastic work
Dave
That's brilliant David 😊😊😊
as always dave a well put together video ,,,,,superb
Thank you Russell
Looking good Dave!
Thank you
Nice tidy job , brilliant video
Thanks 👍
Very tidy that fella nice 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
It was so tense watching the file edge closer to falling, while you created the flange on timelapse. 😂
🤣🤣
Very nice... Just one thing Dave either tape or put some rags in the ports to stop stuff getting into the engine 👍
Not long joined the channel. Had a good old binge on the video and found them very interesting.
Welcome aboard! 😊😊
Looking fantastic Dave, love the setup. Surely you can use a gates inner spring hose for the top hose so no need to fabricate the top tank, but that being said I got full faith you will make it work no matter what. Awesome!
Thanks for that, just tried looking for the Gates hose you suggested, but come up with nothing. You don't have a link by any chance?
looks good dave
Thanks 😊
It´s a pleasure to follow your builds Dave 😊.
Thank you, very kind 😊
Dave your work is very neat, nice to see pride in ones work
Thank you kindly
Cracking fit going to look good. Great work and thanks for the video
Thanks 👍
Hi Dave, try Romo hoses in Leeds ( Yorkshire) for the rad hoses.
Loving the content, keep it as it is.
Thanks for the tip!
Dave I think a Lotus top hose may fit good luck love the content
I'll check that out, ta
The mk2 rs escorts have the crossmember cut like that but I don't know about the mk1 escort. Good work on the car really enjoy watching thanks
Thanks
Nice job Dave, looks tidy .
Thank you
Hi Dave just be careful that the radiator is not to low as here in Australia we had cars having problems with head gasket problems
Thanks for the heads up 😊👍
Hi Dave,where have you been?Great bit of fabrication,fits where it touches.
Hi Alan, busy, bad back, life etc all gets in the way 🤣
@@DavesGarageuk I know what you mean, I'm retired and I don't know where the time goes 😭.
Great work Dave. It’s really weird seeing these mods done still now, when I was doing them 41 years ago on my first Mk1. 👌🏻
Nice job Dave, love the rolled edge, makes it look factory. It’s amazing how many you see that’s been hacked about and left or just a rubber strip put on.
Ah, thank you 😊
Great video Dave. Standard GRP4 radiator mounting mate, had to do that when fitting a pinto years ago… happy days!
Good to know, thank you 😊
Fit's well dave
Nice job Dave my fan came on the front of the rad would it be possible to relocate yours more room just a thought 👍👍
I did think about front mounting it, but didn't fancy the hasle of having to remove the rad if the fan failed
@@DavesGarageuk good thinking Batman 👍👍👍
Another great and very informative video. Keep them coming soon. 👍
Thanks, will do!
Another master class Dave the radiator looks the part I doubt if you will have any problems with that
Thanks
Nice job Dave , shame to cut that support but it is was it is you gotta do what you gotta do to get it in there . That lip you turned down with an adjustable spanner was impressive very nicely done …cool work 👌👍
Thank you pal 👍
Hi Dave, love your video, really great and love the acknowledge to Fitzee, also a great creator.
You tested the weld through primer from Halfords as the best. Just wondering if you use that in place of all primers or just where you’re welding?
Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm using the primer for the first coat on all now, then either epoxy or gravitex over that.
@@DavesGarageuk thanks for that, wasn’t sure if I should get like ech primer or something.
The driveway manta is a great project. I’m doing a Volvo 240 on my drive. But it’s been a rubbish summer in south 🏴, held me up a lot.
Hi Dave great channel, wonder if you could help what gauge was the steel you used for the jig at the start of your project
Hi Peter, 50mm x 100mm x3mm mate
Cheers Dave spot on thanks Pete
Nice one Dave.
You have given me the push I needed to start work on repairing a replacment chassis i have for my pickup.
Could I ask what magnets you use for holding you paper templates in place and where you got them. Thanks Robbie
Hi Robbie, I found them on ebay under rare earth magnets
is that fan reversible, meaning does it work as a push or pull depending on polarity?
I haven't checked that, but I can't see why it wouldn't be
