Cracking detailed video as always. Alot of youtube channels just add music and speed them up and don’t show how they fixed the problem. Professional work as always
Hi cozies are a mean ford machine and always will be. the escort cozy was originally designed to have 3 wings on the tail gate but was sold with just the 2 just watching this jogged the old memory i hope this information helped regarding the cozy escort
just a couple of things let this car down glad some of them have been sorted. I couldn't leave mine like that no battery cover worrying when using round terminals (097 are still available) please put something over the battery saves it shorting out on the bonnett battery fuse cover missing spent money on cosmetics rather than sorting out the little bits how can you not have locking wheel nuts
Great video and you seem to be a very nice man indeed. A normal person with a passion for cars! I'm off to check the rest of your collection too. Take good care my friend!
Great video Paul as always. Got to say, I love seeing a new one from you, it's like seeing a new episode of my favourite TV show available! Always loved the Cosworths, haven't we all... though for me, the wheels don't work on this one. I know real BBS are mega expensive, but I just don't know about them. *When* I win it I guess I can just sell them on for a profit anyway 😝 Any idea on the power this one's running? Noticed it has the standard airbox, but then obviously those insane brakes!? Guess I'll wait for the road test/more info from DCG.
Great vid. FYI, supplied a few of the dressy bits that went into the engine bay, so would be so ironic if the whole lot went back to me again, down the line, lol!
One way to stop the brakefluid from running out empty from the lines, is to press the brake pedal just 1 - 2cm in. That way the resorvoir will be blocked by the piston inside the mastercylinder. You don't spill one drop while taking things apart and much easier when bleeding the lines afterwards. Cool car. Brings back some good memories... Cheers from Norway 🙂
I don’t understand how people can spend a fortune on their car but ignore the little jobs. £15k on wheels and tyres but a block of wood as a battery clamp for example.
I actually rate the wheels, obviously different and I bet they look fantastic when rolling. It’s overall actually suits the car with running the morrettes.
Love those cars . Iv never had one never even sat in one . Cause i know i want one so bad . One of the only rs brands i never had . Kinda grown up by then llf . Stil dont know what to do for a living and am 55 lol Nice brake fix Great job as always 👍🏴😁✌️
Who ever wins this car will have nightmares trying to insure it, not only is it very valuable, but it's modified, so special insurance, probably a special insurance company for modified cars and a vehicle report the work is safe for the road.
Wow, that Escort 1.3 LX steering wheel. The cossie should have had a better looking sporty steering wheel. Every other escort has the same steering wheel. Awesome car though! Absolute icon,
Have you heard about this new Clarkson legislation that's been passed to allow farm outbuildings to be reutilised...perhaps it may help with your unit?
I’m not sure that handbrake is correct. You need a few hours in a Tesco car park doing hand brake turns and a Scandinavian flick (just to test it of course in the name of safety)
You do a lot of those "competitions" in the UK, right? Not the first UK car channel I've seen call gambling that strange name. Is that some law thing, I mean - you ask a stupid question and that stops it from being a lucky draw and changes it to a competition?
It’s luck of the draw mate, just gives people a chance of getting a nice car. My sister won a brand new mini a few years back for £1. Traded it in for a new Vw golf after.
Been watching your channel non stop the past few days never clicked so fast on a video❤
Ha ha cheers Jerome, hope you liked it mate 👍
Awesome work as usual Paul. Fantastic car now in A1 condition, I'll have a couple of tickets when it comes online!
Thanks David, it’s a shame I can’t have a go as I’d have a few too. It drives soo good.
Ive always loved the escort cosworth. Ive never been keen on these headlights but who cares when it still looks great. Love the videos. 🙂
Stunning car and great work, thanks for going into detail on how to do the electrical diagnosis
another great video. Keep the projects coming, hope you're sorted soon with the council
Wow what a beauty well done Paul good job your on the ball with the wiring and breaks
Cheers Billy, she’s deffo a beauty 😍
Lovely car and great video as always. I’d give my right knacker for that motor!
Thanks buddy, I’d love it too. 😍
Great car mate. Alot of money put into 😊
Awesome sauce 👍👍👍 24:00
Cheers Big Keg, hope your well mate. Hoo Roo 👍
Gr8 to have you back..
Always full of information and details..
Awesome looking car.
Excellent content from you Paul.
Mint! Glad you liked the vid mate 👍

Cheers Jamie, yes had fun with this vid mate
Super talented work again. It'd be great to see your channel grow and remploy Keith. Fingers crossed dude. 🤞🏻
Thanks Paul 👍👍

Nice job as always! Greetings from Argentina.
Thank you matey 👍👍

Ahh enjoy mate, you’ve got a fair few to go through 👍
@@ODDAutos I'm looking forward to them👍
yet another amazing bit of kit , good to see you on here again Paul
Cheers David, glad you like it mate 👍
Wheels are unreal . Perfection

Cheers Jim, glad you liked the vid mate. Yes have a watch of the road test vid on their youtube, it drives me soo soo nice mate 👍
Your videos are so good, love watching them. Sad when fix cars all day then watch videos at night😂 must be something wrong with us all😂
Nice cossie and like the rear brake set up.
Never understood why those Morette headlights were so popular, they look crap on a Cosworth, factory lights are really good looking
Nice to see one in a good spec with some quality parts nice job on bringing her up to a good standard loved it 👍
Cheers Samuel, yes it needed all the best stuff going on this beauty 👍
Great vid. FYI, supplied a few of the dressy bits that went into the engine bay, so would be so ironic if the whole lot went back to me again, down the line, lol!
It's the finishing touches that make a great car. 👍
I'm addicted to these videos, love the presentation style and obviously the content

Yes usually do that but it’s electronic servo on this, the motor turns on a pumps the fluid through when the brake pedals slightly down. 👍
Glad to see another video, hope you’re sorting your workspace woes!!
Got a hearing on June 19th so fingers crossed that goes ok 🤞
I messaged you via your contacts on your website, just checking you’ve received it? Thanks
These vids are great, your a talented mechanic, 👍
Ahh nice! Thank you mate 👍
Lovely video as always. Your effort always pays off.. i never get bored watching your videos 👍
Great comment mate, thanks for that 👍
Great to see you back Paul. What a car ❤.
Good to be back Glen, glad you liked it matey 👍
Need's a nice original Rims there and it's prefect 👌
I don’t understand how people can spend a fortune on their car but ignore the little jobs. £15k on wheels and tyres but a block of wood as a battery clamp for example.
Same. That would drive my ocd mad.
I actually rate the wheels, obviously different and I bet they look fantastic when rolling. It’s overall actually suits the car with running the morrettes.
Nice car I agree wheels not doing it for me
They are nicer up close 👍
Yet another top tier video look forward to the next one 👌🏼
Thanks James, appreciate that mate 👍
Shame it wasn't left standard but still a lovely cossie good video...
Lovely car Paul mate, still my favourite car ever. The coolest thing from our generation, still look ace to this day.
Looks proper mean doesn’t it, nothing better than a car with fat boxy arches 😍
Another awesome job, Paul, and what a beautiful car. 😍
Cheers mate, glad you liked the vid 👍👍
Why would anybody spend that amount of money on a respray when the basics aren’t working correctly?
Great video odd autos, amazing work 👌,you got patients to do that wiring 😳, very lovely cosworth 👌👍😀
Cheers Shaun, yes was a head scratcher to start with but got there in the end 👍
Love those cars . Iv never had one never even sat in one . Cause i know i want one so bad . One of the only rs brands i never had . Kinda grown up by then llf . Stil dont know what to do for a living and am 55 lol
Nice brake fix
Great job as always
👍🏴😁✌️
Cheers chopper, yes after driving this one I wouldn’t mind one now. Soo expensive though so only chance I’d get is if I won one 👍
@@ODDAutos same here pal stunning cars
👍🏴😁✌️
Great job once again and what a lovely car!
Cheers Chris, its definitely a proper nice one 👍
Long Wait for a new upload and what a car!! Would give my left knacker for an escort cossie
Me too mate 😍
Great job. This is nice looking escort. I bet it could stop on a dime with those brakes
It’s got electric servo assist too so it practically does an endo when you hit the brakes, super good 👍
Another great video, great work as always, very impressive 👍👌
Cheers Paul, means a lot mate 👍
at last, someone has the discs on in the correct rotation...
i reckon it needed a good roadtest to bed those brakes in...
Ha ha always triggers me when they are backwards too 👍
Good to see a new video mate👍
Thanks mate, hope you liked it 👍
Bodyshops are propa good at not putting things back correctly even some of the more expensive bodyshops😂
My dad always says "If you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem" you proved him wrong haha
Lovely motor i just don't think those bbs's suit her
Brillaint! Il be watching for that comp
Good luck mate 👍
Looks a belter. Will watch this tonight with a brew. I must say though, I'm not a fan of the wheels at all.
Cheers buddy, hope you enjoy mate.
Looks mega and nice work.
Great wheel choice, can’t go wrong with a set of BBS
Car is looking clean!
It’s super nice!
Lovely motor - not too keen on that style of wheel
It’s a real nice car 👍
Washer motor I thought that on my car and looked at the fuse and it was the fuse
Always amazes me that all these modified cars you work on have some sort of safety issue.
Makes for a good video though 👌
Ha ha yes mate, at least it gives me something to do 👍
Lovely car and great work.
Cheers MD, glad you enjoyed it mate
Great job greetings from the Netherlands
Couple of points… Cosworth’s had dual horns not single, the wheels don’t suit the car at all, 20K for the respray and the lights are disconnected…
Couple of points to that have already been pointed out ,well done lol
@@bencosturbz7755 thanks for the sarcasm…
Great video but reyland motorsport for £700 should have swapped the nipples round.
Rest of the video awesome
What a car. Did your brother paint it ?. Looks mega 💯
Was painted somewhere up north, they did a mint job 👍
Lovely car but can't work out it it's brown or maroon. I'm sure the colour looks good in the sunlight though.
I think it was Aubergine which is a dark purple with hints of red. Sometimes in the camera it was darker than other times. Great colour though 👍
An absolute dreamcar indeed
100% mate, lovely
Who ever wins this car will have nightmares trying to insure it, not only is it very valuable, but it's modified, so special insurance, probably a special insurance company for modified cars and a vehicle report the work is safe for the road.
Great video!
Nice car but the rims are to wide for the tyres.
Enjoyed this one, as usual. What's happening with the garage? Have you managed to sort out whether you can stay? Cheers 😂
Have a hearing on the 19th of June about the workshop, will find out mid July so 🤞 for then.
@@ODDAutos Good luck then Paul. It must be gutting for you after all you've done to it. 👍👍
Totally mate, if it passes it’s still only class B1 use and a car workshop is B2. Hopefully can do something then.
Wow, that Escort 1.3 LX steering wheel. The cossie should have had a better looking sporty steering wheel. Every other escort has the same steering wheel. Awesome car though! Absolute icon,
Yes I know what you mean, needed something special from factory 👍
I hated that steering wheel , the earlier big turbo model has a better steering wheel but no air bag
You make it look easy 🤪👊
the only thing that ruins this is the silly stretched tyres...
Did you fit a cover for the battery positive terminal?
Have you heard about this new Clarkson legislation that's been passed to allow farm outbuildings to be reutilised...perhaps it may help with your unit?
Yes mate, looks real promising! Just fingers crossed for this hearing I’ve got on June 19th 🤞
Drooling over those brakes omg
They are mega massive, work awesome 👍
Mega job!
The only issue is see on this little beaut is them wheels 😱 !
They are nicer up close 👍
I’m not sure that handbrake is correct. You need a few hours in a Tesco car park doing hand brake turns and a Scandinavian flick (just to test it of course in the name of safety)
Ha ha true it needs testing, that’s why I was worried about making the brackets, they need to be super strong for the scandi flicks 🤣
Wheels
Make it.
Why why why do people neglect brakes
I know, think they were going to do the handbrake but would of taken a while
Would look better with some big 5 spoke on it 🔥
Absolute failure on the wheels front.
What you doing lying on the floor when you've got a ramp 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤔🤔
Lovely car but those wheels have to go!
I feel like I'm watching Bob Ross but for cars
If you're going to have a racey Ford, this'll do the trick. The tyres look a bit stretched or is that just me being an ol' fart?
They are a tad stretched, sits nice on them though 👍
Them wheels are absolutely awful
Great video
Cheers Robert 👍
Wicked job Paul you certainly know your stuff. What an amazing car 😊😊😊
Thanks Dave, yes it’s definitely a minter 😍
Auto electrician job list tick but you,$20000 respray but should of fixed everything else correct wof
I got one of them knocking sticks lol
Them diagnostic hammers work on anything 🤣
I'm feeling lucky, boys! I've got to win one of these days...
You do a lot of those "competitions" in the UK, right? Not the first UK car channel I've seen call gambling that strange name. Is that some law thing, I mean - you ask a stupid question and that stops it from being a lucky draw and changes it to a competition?
It’s luck of the draw mate, just gives people a chance of getting a nice car. My sister won a brand new mini a few years back for £1. Traded it in for a new Vw golf after.
A 20k respray... my god! It looks mint though.
It’s a proper mint paint job to be fair, can’t fault it anywhere 😍
20k paint and a bit of 4x2 holding the battery 😂
Why would you ruin a 90s legend by fitting those awful wheels to it?
They are not bad to be fair, nicer in person
Lovely engineering
It’s a lovely car 😍
Fancy selling them 7.5j Rs 4 spokes ?
Thinking of building a kit car in the future and putting them on mate, if I change my mind will let you know 👍
It's a nail
