Beautiful build. The YB on Twin carbs sounds phenomenal, to hell with all the haters and purists, this thing rips
Thank you 💚💚💚
Couldn't agree more!
When you build a car, bike or whatever, you build it for yourself. Never build it thinking what everyone else is going to think
I don't think purists really have a problem with naturally aspirated Cosworth conversions tbh, they've been put into escorts ( and anglias Mr wigger) for 30ish years ( when a few Sierra's had had time to be written off lol)
Oh Man Oh Man lovely.
Not many women nowadays giving off that kind of positive focused energy, absolutely awesome
Agreed
Ahh thank you cars in my blood I love it!! 💚
SO true
A lot of people used early r1 yam cv carbs i wonder how kehien fcr41s or mikuni rs38/40s would fare ❤
@@LornaReecey-ch6qyShe's a beauty and the colour suits it I wouldn't be driving like that though if it was mine for fear of wrapping it around a tree. 🤣
The sound is amazing, no car today can match it.
Back in the 80's I loved the sound of Ford and Opel when I was watching rally.
No one can beat that roaring sound, amazing.
Thank you 💚💚💚
That escort is fantastic and it looks amazing and to top it all off she's brilliant the car and her are a perfect match very good episode thanks motor addicts 👍🏻
You are more than welcome 🙏🏻
Thank you 💚
Mate Girls a driver !!! Car looks Great. Good for her.
💯
Thank you 💚
I've only just put on the video and the escort sounds soooo good - reminding me of rally cars of the past. I'm smirking as she's absolutely insane behind the wheel ( an absolute legend) and the search for the grab handle continues throughout the video
Haha thank you really does mean a lot 💚
Needs a grab handle 😂 😊
😂😂😂😂
@@LornaReecey-ch6qy Seatbelts save lives, the car sounds great🙂
I’m a huge mental ford fan and I gotta say I love that thing. It’s a genuine little beast made to be driven. Huge respect
Thank you so much 💚💚💚
This is actually insane🤤 carbs definitely suit the car, the car suits the driver, what an epic build😮💨 keep doing what your doing Lorna. Thanks for bringing us this build stu👍🏼
More than welcome
I'm a father of 4 girls and I have one that just loves cars. She's the youngest named Olivia and she's gonna be a little hell raiser too 😂
I’m the youngest 2 😂😂 my dad is my best friend so having this hobbie with him means the world 💚 he’s a legend
😂
@@LornaReecey-ch6qy that's great 😆
Dont worry dude, im sure they will all suck cok equally in your house on visits.
Lovely motor, lorna can definitely drive ! The sound of that thing is amazing.. great video lads 👍
Thank you stu 💚
Appreciated bud
She drives like my 77 year old mum. She flying around in her 66 plate polo gti at mo. Picked me and my son and up today for lunch! an sti tried to undertake her lol.my mum was like im not having that. My boy's face was a picture as she floored it . 😂
Each to their own with their car, I think it works and screams noise and power! Which it’s got.
Lovely car and nice to see another escort saved!
Thank you 👍👍💚💚
Love the resting concentration face, calm, controlled, flat out and having fun. Can hear the 🎤 hitting the floor, even over that beautiful engine roar. ❤💯 BOSS.
Ahh thank you really appreciate it 💚
Lorna absolutely tearing the bag out of it! 🎯👍🏻
Hahaha thank you 💚
YEAH, SHE RIP YOUR BAG OFF ALSO
anyone notice the bonnet was blue when the camera faced forward 16:21
Yup, that’s is suppose to be in next weeks video
Love the car , love the driver 👌 especially love that noise ! Takes me back to my youth. Proper Old school ! You go girl 👏
💯
OH the memories !
Well done Lorna ring the shit out of it Zero £ucks given.
We drove ours sideways everywhere in the 80's and 90's with not a mobile phone or cctv in sight,love that its built just for fun and not a show pony.
She’s an all weather car too!! They are there to drive!! I wanna learn side ways I just love speed so that’s always been more my thing and side ways and speed don’t mix well ha 💚
Wait until next weeks vid, you’ll see sideways 😂 another ford
Great vid again guys, love it, and that sounds like a very well built engine too, love how that sounds and revs cleanly…
Glad you enjoyed it
I'd fall in love with her in about 2.3 minutes of saying "hello"
"The Green Bottle" because it FLIES! That sounds so much better than the turbo! The carbs really make it. I love it
💯
Thank you appreciate it 💚💚
@@LornaReecey-ch6qy turbos are great, Superchargers too, but there's nothing like carbs and the sound they make. We need to have a new resurgence of people building cars this way!
Lorna rocks, great car and she knows her stuff!
Thanks Chris 💚💚💚
You cannot beat the sound of a YB!! Especially when it’s screaming away! What was it revving to? Great video as ever guys always a good point of the week when a new motor addicts videos out!
9.5k thank you 💚💚
Appreciate it mate
No feeling like naturally aspirated. Carbs or throttle bodies just love how they drive n sound. Mines exhaust is done in a way which makes it sound like a v8. Has a gargle to it you can only hear inside the car.
Love this video and so much like to see a woman do it her way. Knows what she wants and i agree the sound is amazing.
Thank you so much 💚💚💚
Huge respect for this woman, her driving and car🔝👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much 💚🖤
'What brakes you got?' 'Shit ones!' 😂 Love it!!
😂😂😂😂😂
The sound is just so crisp, nothing does it more for me than a good sounding engine yes i love a good V8 sound however a good Cossie engine is something that makes me smile or rather grin from ear to ear.
Thanks Jack couldn’t agree more 💚🖤
Wrap colour on that looks amazing 🤩 things a weapon
Thank you very much 💚💚
That's mad, really different on many levels, very refreshing, love it!
And the noise!!!!
Thanks so much 💚💚💚
You know when you see this sitting in a carpark it means business just by the look of it 💪
💯
I love it. It’s different. Sounds awesome and she’s made it her own.
OMG and love the skin/wrap, dare to be different is simply the best way 10-10
Thank you so much 💚💚
That car is pure audiosupersonic. Revs to the moon and that sound so sweet. Driving skills affirmative.. ❤
Thank you 💚💚
That makes the sweetest noise
I love it
Respect to your build lady
Smiles for miles absolutely❤
Thank you I love the sound 💚
100%
Just followed your instagram account
I’m a die hard petrol head.
Love your content.
Respect ✊
That escort sounds insane, i love it
Thanks Jeff 💚💚
That car is awesome,love the sound of a cosworth,,wish I could get one in the states of America
who doesn't like this?!?!!? this looks sick! sounds sick too!
Haha thank you Lots of haters but I don’t mind 💚💚💚
This is sick!! It’s sounds beautiful, especially at the higher end of the rev range. Rate this build, everything suits it! Could go as far as saying it has split personalities…parked up you’d think “ahh, cute and shiny Escort with a modern touch”, start it up and put Lorna behind the wheel, the definition of asbo turns up 😂😂😂🤘🏾
💯
Hahaha love this thank you 💚 the vibe I was going for
Brilliant! I grew up watching Mk2 escorts going sideways on rally stages! In my humble opinion all MK2 escorts should be asbo’s on steroids. That’s exactly what this car is. Personally the wrap isn’t my thing but is suits the personality of the owner. She don’t care, this is great. Anyone who complains about this build is completely missing the point. Modified cars should be individual. Built not bought. Lorna has no fear about driving this car the way it should be and this shines through. Another great feature! The girls got skills…..salute! 👍🏼
Well said
Ahh thanks mark really does mean a lot!! I always knew it wasn’t going to be for everyone but I’m ok with that!! Really appreciate your kind words 💚
@@LornaReecey-ch6qy hey car nuts gotta stick to together! Love the build….but jealous to be honest. It’s the drive that matters! Respect 🫡 👍🏻
I saw this car pull up by the fire station opposite my house in Godstone a few weeks back. Awesome to see it on here. I recognised it straight away! ❤
Ahh yes I was waiting for someone to catch up 😂😂😂 only joking 💚💚
@@LornaReecey-ch6qy😂 you actually were. I saw another car catch you up. I see a ford group around quite a lot.
😂😂😂 how funny!! Next time I’ll give ya a beep 💚💚
@@LornaReecey-ch6qyoh yes definitely do. I'll listen out 😜😂❤️
Awesome review, awesome car, what a driver and what a sound. Loved it!! 👌
Thank you very much 💚💚
Love that. Absolutely awesome 💯❤
Thank you Dave 💚💚💚
😂She was just chillin and Stu was sh$ting himself😂 legends👊
😂 very true
I trust it 😂😂
@@LornaReecey-ch6qyit’s the woman herself amazing car
He's a fanny.
@@RUX70N cheers
Great vid, love your face. The MkII is the business. Love the sound on carbs
Thank you 💚💚
Glad you enjoyed
I owned a 1979 mk2 Ford Escort back in 1997 when i was 17yo. It was light brown,. four door but with four spoke Rs alloys. I acquired it for the price of, a Boozaka bass tube and an Altai amplifier, which cost fifty quid from Ripspeed. Life was easier back then. I stiil have the front grill of that escort and it is currently a display piece on my wall. lol
Love it, looks and sounds amazing. Good driver as well.
Thank you Marc 💚💚
A big hand clap 👏 for the name choice throwing it back in the face of the haters 👌💪 it's only a bit of vinyl, better to see the car back on the road and being enjoyed, and from the videos I've seen recently Lorna is most certainly enjoying it and that's all that matters,
Carbs was the right choice 🎶 raw power and no worrying about turbo and boost problems, just how an escort should sound all grunt 🎶
Thank you very much exactly that when I’m bored of the chrome I’ll take it off that’s the blessing of wrap 💚💚
Love it. I like how she drove it so hard through the gears up to 60mph.
What a car🤩😋. Love the color. And the noise👍
Thank you very much 💚💚
I love this car! Awesome job! Its like driving a musical instrument❤
Hahaha nice isn’t it 💚💚💚
Been looking forward to seeing this one. What a motor! 😄
Thank you 💚
More to come!
That thing revs for days. What a fun motor.
It sure does thank you 💚💚
Escort looks gorgeous in that wrap
Great vid as per usual keep ip the great work team
Appreciate it!
Great stuff Lorna!! What a fantastic car. Sounds awesome. I don’t think it needs a turbo. 🤔👍
Thank you 💚💚
Absolutely love it! Well done! 👊
Thank you 💚💚💚
What a car, and what a bird ,awesome 👍
Thanks Richard 💚💚💚
Go on girl, love it, your car sounds beautiful, and revs forever.
Thanks David 💚💚💚
That's my local test track! Hookwood roundabout passed Gatwick heading down to Crawley and back again! Surprised I've not seen this motor about. Absolute weapon that! Love it!
Hahaha I love it!! Good road!! Thank you 💚
🤙🏻
Female x biker here, rode only superbikes, speeds of 180 in the wet no issues. gender plays no role in driving or bikes or in life. everyone can if they have the ability. its how you start when you are young. Love the sound of that car. screaming like a 2 stroke.
Absolutely great film. Great work guys!!!!👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
love it, sounds amazing, proper rally car noises
💯
Thank you 💚💚
Saw this at Brands Hatch the other week and it was one of my favourites. Never even knew what it was running or how it sounded. Love it.
Ahh thank you 💚
Glad you like it!
Comments from an old Italian car guy.
Got to say that sounds amazing!
Looks very nice!
Love the fact she's the opposite of what people would expect in a car like that!
Far better that old shells are saved and used like this than left to rot on the promise of a purist's dream.
Negatives?
Please please please wear a seatbelt! Even if she's wearing a lap belt(because bo08s) a lap belt will not save you!
Anyone who has ever had even the least bump or bash will know that you cannot control where you go inside a car in a crash without a seatbelt.
Thank you so much!! The belt position was always Gna be a hard one because of boobs like you said!! Much appreciated tho 💚💚
Top job as always 💪
That looks, and sounds awesome to see a nice mark to escort that doesn’t matter what anybody else says about it, and then making a comeback on your mark to escort
Thank you I agree 💚
Agreed
She's a legend! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Haha thank you 💚
Yea she is
I love this and the idea of carbs
Thats a stunning car, love the wrap. What a nice noise. Congratulations on such a lovely car 😊
Thank you very much really appreciate it 💚🖤
Beautiful car and owner ❤❤great build nice to see woman into the classic ford
Thank you 💚💚💚
She literally never puts 2 hands on the wheel 🫣
Mate! ... she has no fear driving...respect to that...very cool...
Thank you Martin 💚
Sound amazing,love it well done on the build❤
Thank you so much 💚🖤
I crapped myself
Absolutely love it and she’s great,calm as you like and stu is looking for the grab handle 😂
Haha thank you 💚💚
😂
For a pure visceral experience I bet that is unreal, what a screamer!
💯
Great video lads amazing channel ❤
Amazing Lorna, sounds epic!!! 🔥 😎
Thank you 💚💚💚
I love this!! GO ON GIRL!!
She was epic
Thanks hun 💚 doing it for the girls ha
If u could smell the fear through the screen that was some serious brown trouser moments what a driver and a banging car best channel on the tube i saw matey the 4th kray on officially gassed and been a fan ever since
😂 Owen 😂 thanks for sticking with us
Hahaha thank you 💚
To hell with the haters, that is a damn nice ride! If it was all about anorak purists opinions, we'd never have had group B lunacy, Hyabusa powered smart cars or LS swapped mx5's...
Long live the rebels!
You’re so right brad!! Thank you I appreciate it 💚💚💚
Great job looks amazing, dosant matter what haters think its your choice, sounds amazing and so great to see a cossie lump with no turbo and running on carbs, carbs are so the way forward none of that dump valve noise or waste gate, be sweet with 48's on it, also would look lovely in gloss black. 👍
💯
They are 48s 💚💚 thank you
@@LornaReecey-ch6qy sweet lovely MK2. 👍
Well.. Where do I start..
This build is so so cool. I will always have a soft spot for the mk2 escort.
I love Lorna's 'I don't care attitude'. She built a car she loves am enjoys.
And love it even more seeing a female doing this.
I didn't even want this video to end.. Great job..
Ahh thank you means a lot 💚
Appreciate it
In a weird kinda way I like that. It’s not ruined, just different and doesn’t look ruined imo. And boy can that Cossie lump rev!! I was expecting to hear a bang during that video 😆
Me 2 😂😂😂
England is a good place too! At home, we are slowly getting to the point where the car is fitted with a rim larger than the factory size, and the traffic is lost...
Cool girl, nice car!
Thank you so much 💚💚💚
@@LornaReecey-ch6qy ❤😊
driving without a seat belt asking for trouble 🤣
Was optional from new 😂
No trouble caused mummy
Sure it’s under my arm pinky promise 😂💚
Screamer 🎺🎺🎺🎺
F@#k the haters, I love this thing, it's a rolling fuck you to all the purists, and I'm all for that 👌
N/A Cosworth Engines sound unreal 😍
Thank you 💚
Mate sounded awesome in it
Oh man, feeling the heartache all over again. My son had to sell his 1980 Mk2 just last weekend. We were busy repairing it from "buy as is" and had to replace the thrust-bearing, but couldnt find one anywhere in south africa!!! After shopping around for more than a month, we realised if we cant even find that clutch/thrust bearing, what other problems will we run into?? So sad.
Ahh this makes me sad!! I wish you could have just kept it and left it sitting there a while til you found some parts 😢 sorry you had to part with it 💔
Forget the haters. That's like going back to the late 90s, Max Power, Fast Ford, etc. Wicked to see a Ford getting a good thrashing. I like it, it's her car, her build, her way.
Sounds awesome 👌
Thank you so much 💚💚
So much to love about that mk-2, its stunning. But lets keep bringing it back to the haters. Well done you
Thank you very much 💚💚
When she used the handbrake to brake and kept it idling i knew shes a driver💥❤
Haha thanks hun 💚💚
Love that, local to me this car seen it a few times.. well done Lorna & great video MA 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Dave 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
That motor sounds, looks and pulls..
Sweeeet.
Thank you 💚
What a gorgeous sound
💯🙌🏻
We all need a mrs like her
Nuff love
💯
Thank you 💚🖤💚
Init
😳sounds amazing.
Crazy ..... and the car's out there too
Thank you 💚💚💚
Mate, that is one epic little MkII!!!! Best video, and I think the best Esky so far. Smile and almost-bit-not-quite shit-ya-self is the PERFECT mix.
Launa, ya car looks bloody brilliant.... cheers for the upload!!!!!!!!
Thank you Dave 💚
Glad you enjoyed it
Very enjoyable as always 👍
Cheers buddy

Thanks hun really does mean a lot!! I was super nervous not about the driver just the filming etc!! 💚
