Nice to see chris doing some recording again and talking about what he was going to do
My late Brother in Law, drove a Ford Escort Cabriolet, it was the best thing since sliced Bread, in the 80's, he had a Triumph TR7, with a union Jack on Bonnet. 80's were great.
I love that generation of Escort. They had so much character, along with modern build quality. Also, these were new when I was a teenager/early twenties and really wanted one back in the day. This one is a real survivor.
When Chris talks YOU listen! Excellent video.
I like how Chris is more on and behind the camera more talkative and straight to the point
And also him starting a few videos 👍🏻 keep it up Chris
Good job Rob as well
hi guys
i rarely comment on videos but i just want to give you both a big thank you for keeping me entertained all this time plus as a pensioner whos knowledge about cars could be written on the back of a stamp you have both taught me a few things .
thank you rob and chris xx
That RS has been given a second chance to be on the road - few minor details and she will walk the next MOT! Thanks for saving this iconic motor - maybe a keeper to be enjoyed on a weekend spin ! Your smile behind the wheel says it all !
Chris is getting brave and starting to be more involved in the content, great
Rob I would say that the brake pipe giving up when it did is a blessing in disguise, Chris and yourself will soon have her sorted . I've been waiting for the RS to be back on the channel.
Worked at Ford Southampton (Transit), we had a fully automatic tyre fitting/ balancing machine. Tyres and Wheels were fed in by conveyor (sequenced) for each wheel/tyre combination.
You need to make a "Thats Toast" T Shirt Rob to add to the Merchandise with a Picture of a Slice of Toast on it
Great idea👍 white or brown toast though!
@@rogerblackwood8815 knowing Rob probably both 🤣
It's lucky that the brake pipe went now and not later when you sold it. Nice video as usual.
Definitely not a fail plus you had a smile on your face Rob driving.
I'm loving the fact chris is now helping with the videos. You will make a you tuber out of him yet Rob and he will make a mechanic out of you 🤣🤣🤣
As someone else said already….When Chris says something you listen!! Great to hear him starting a video! All the best.
It’s great to hear Chris recording sections of commentary, another great video guys, and a super cool retro car❤️.
It's bound to have a few problems after it has been sitting for so long, good news that you found the brake snag early on. Great to see your grin when you first drove it, Rob!
Hearing the boost build was sweet
All the little problems you will iron out, you get this is these types of builds.
Rob's quote of the day......."Soon there'll be a robot standing where you are, you won't have a job no more." 😂😂😂
Thanks Chris the quip about the train made me laugh out loud and I needed that today 👍🏻
Never understood why these had rear drum brakes. A disc conversion would be a nice touch.
Sooo true, quick and easy too 😊, why did they not do that?
@@PeterJames-cr1ul
Even worse seeing rear drums on modern cars, there's absolutely no excuse for it these days.
@@paulie-Gualtieri. also very true, the only reason is costing, drums are a less expensive manufactured cost. I would never buy a car with drums they’re just too much of a maintenance issue, not to mention the poorer performance.
Cost. Its a ford.
Glad the wheels are being brought back to original they were fecking with my OCD Rob 😂👍🏽
🤣🤣🤣 Same here 😂😂😂
slottaway yh look awful too
Waiting all day , what's another hour , no probs , right off to listenn and watch Chris ..... Robs arrived , dam Rob give him a chance !!!!
Chris already said he prefer to leave the talking to Rob.
@@organiccold good job rob came back then isnt it or we d have had a silent movie ......
Great to see you driving this beauty on the road rob, nothing better than seeing a grown mans teeth shine brighter than the headlights when he puts his foot down. That motor sounds epic well done boys 👍👍👍👍👍
Good to see the Ford on the road and hearing the engine singing, shame about the pipe but better it went now than later when you might have been belting down a M/ way Rob. Good to have Chris doing a bit of filming with Commentary thanks for the video keep them coming Tom
Once its done guys this will fly off the shelf, a very collectable car, going up in value , nice update Chris and Rob.
Nice to see Chris talking and recording :D
Nice video on the RS Turbo S2 Rob and Chris!
Don't feel too down boys, I've had an abundance of Escorts and *never* had one pass the MOT first time. Top video as always 👍👍
Great video as always chaps, I was about to post this 5:37 That rear metal brake pipe is rusty AF, But that was before I seen the end of the video.
Great to see Chris doing more recording looking forward to see more
Worth bearing in mind that braided hose are excellent at hiding underlying deterioration in the rubber house underneath. You can't inspect them for deterioration like a rubber hose, so failure tends to be sudden.
if you can't tell how old those are, I'd treat them as suspect and replace them.
Another great video! Really glad to see you’re getting more confident Chris it’s a pleasure to see you both and this channel go from strength to strength! Onto 250k!
Will be a great wee motor. Never owned an RS but had an 87 XR3i. Rusted to buggery at 6 years old so this one is a brilliant find in such great condition. Look forward to the rest of the build 👌👍🏼😉
Another great tutorial .... I've watched the previous vids and I'm hooked !! .... This is an amazing rebuild and I can't wait for the final instalment ...I find it hard to believe that these hot hatches of the 80's still had rear drum brakes
Coming along nicely guys 🚗 Chris doing his video commentary ! also 👌 roll on next one
Good job the fault revealed itself when it did, really. Its a blessing just to hear running again, can't wait to see her finished but it'll be bitter sweet saying goodbye.
Another sound video, God bless you lads!🙏
Sometimes mot failures help us out!
You looked pretty disappointed there , absence makes the heart grow fonder Rob 😊
Means you’ll just have to wait a little longer!
It’ll all be worth it and I can’t wait for the next instalment
Cheers guys 👍🏻👍🏻🙌
You both worked your arse off and looking cute now? Proud of you 2.
For it’s age it still runs and sounded good and I now you two guys are going to bring this car back to life and be 100%
Well Done Guy's cracking video.
The joys of recommissioning a car that's been off the road awhile.
Great with Chris taking the lead at the start its a lovely motor don`t be too disheartened you guys will do the old girl proud......
Lovely hearing Chris 👍
That good old ford sound hitting the boost lovely
Great video. I have a 1980 ford Granada, so I love to see the old fords. 👍
Excited for it to be on the road but gutted she didn’t make it!! These little things you can sort easily! Lovely see it on the road! Hopefully soon legally! Anyway ill see you both in the next one
I miss seeing these cars on the road - same goes for the Sierra and Orion. Classic beauties - and this one is a stunner lads
Get up there Chris opening the video great stuff guys
That's a kick in the pants with the MOT failure.But shows it's a sound car..Nice opening from Chris👍
Cheers gents!
It's about time you boys invested in new video cameras and mic also to bring the content up to standard. It's great content and it deserves this input from you both. 👌
Nothing wrong with what we got
Everyone's got different tastes but really like them wheels personally wouldn't change them
Adored these motors back in the day as you know Rob. Great video and hope to purchase another one myself in the future
Hi guys car coming a long nice cant wait for the next vid .happy days when its done
Great stuff. Glad that the brake pipe broke now, rather than at a more critical time. An excellent result and an opportunity to get the brake pipes fixed. Maybe replace the full set as preventative maintenance.
Hello Rob and Chris, great little video car is looking good, shame about the brake pipe.
Don’t worry, you two will get there.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Lovely noise going down the road 😎 cant wait til my m8 finishes his rs turbo 👌
Chris - good to hear you for a change!
You looked so happy driving it
You can’t beat the sound of a rs turbo when coming into boost 😁
Yes Chris! 👌
Enjoying Chris's piece to camera 👍🏻
Shame about the mot failure, perhaps an hydraulic repipe?
Still a good example of a classic car.
Lovely Rob and Chris, it needs bonnet louvres painting white and please fit some spots just does not look right without them
The whole car needs painting so no point fitting spots yet 👍
The induction noises 😍
ROB the video was so nice thank you. It actually felt like as if I was driving the escort
Another cracking video guys. Its a shame its a short one. Looking forward to the next. Love the ford rebuilds. Dont forget the head lining above the windscren is coming away. Noticed it when you were on your way to have an MOT. Nice one both.👍
Chris I’m loving the confidence with the camera and you don’t waffle 🧇 😁 sorry Rob - I do agree make the wheels silver they look cheesy in white, you face when driving it Rob was brilliant you were beaming shame about the pipe but you guys will soon fix it
really like those white and shiny wheels!
Takes me back over 30 years, had a red one for a couple of years
Old steel brake pipes can be deceptive. I restored a 1968 Austin Cambridge about 5 years ago and it had a mixture of original steel and newer copper brake pipes. I replaced the copper ones as I had no idea what quality they were. I also decided to replace the original steel pipe that went from front to back, even though it was rust free to look at. When I took this pipe off the car, it split in half due to corrosion at the back of the pipe where it was clipped to the chassis. On these older cars with single circuit brakes, a failure here would mean no brakes at all. It is good advice to change ALL the brake pipes.
Definitely not a fail, all the advisories are just a helping guide to get it mechanically sound.
Your face driving it was a picture!
Reminded me of my 5 Yr old son when he got a wii game he wanted lmao.
Nicely done on the ftont brakes though 👍.
Shame if didn’t pass but it gives you more motivation to get it sorted correctly.
If it were mine I’d be looking for another set of wheels as these have been diamond cut and even painted silver will look messed with.
Can’t wait for the next video on it with all the std indicators and hopefully driving lamps.
Brilliant job again guys.
ESCORT RESTORE :
Rob you are like a teenager again, can't wait to get out in it !!!
No doubt with both your skills it ll be done.
FANTASTIC video, good content, so good to see Chris behind and in front of the camera!!.
Mint video again lads...
I do love the fact each corner has a different tyre lol
Rob you know those rear wheel cylinders may not be leaking but as soon as you push on that peddle hard it will be leaking
So it has to be done 👍👍
I had to have another comment didn’t expect the pipe to break
Just a little scare there, good that it went now and not after you had sold it
Keep going Rob! Cracking car. My brother just finished restoring same car. Took 3, years 😬
Patience is a virtue.
Thanks Rob & Chris love the variability of the channel. 👍
Forget the video length chaps, good content is good content. If it's a bit shorter or a bit longer it's no drama. Good vid and loved the sound of the turbo. Was never a fan back in the day but I can definitely see the appeal now.
Good to see chi's starting the video up and nice see you back keep up the good work 😌👍🇬🇧 Nigel
Love that old 80s engine noise! Car looks brilliant! Can't wait for the wheels to be painted silver! 😎
Love how you guys are always so positive and upbeat. Yup the old girl is not quite there but you’re within a whisker. Good grafting as ever guys!
Nice motor! You're very lucky! Hope you renew all the brake lines for peace of mind.
Sounds awesome. Very lucky your brakes didn't fail completely behind a bus or something. Great video
Jesus,how times change,drum brakes on a 1600 turbo.These were were my nemisis when i had my 1.9 GTI many moons ago.Seemed like every time i stopped at the lights,one would appear out of nowhere to give it 'large'.Happy times!
Enjoyed!
Hi guys great post as usual and nice to see Chris coming out of his shell and doing a bit of presenting also nice to see tyres going on without those stupid tpms on them,
Nearly back on the road. Maybe worth doing all the brake pipes. The near side pipe going to the rear didn't look to clever when you were putting that cylinder back on. Bloody nice car and as entertaining as I've came to expect.
Chris starting the video was a pleasant surprise! Top man.
Another very interesting vid. I can remember helping a friend change a tyre on his A40. He drove his dad's hearse over the tyre to break the seal. It worked! 😊
When you were working on the rear drums I thought the pipes looked a little crusty and they usually go close to the wheel cylinder. Mine burst due to someone changing lanes at the last minute and had to slam the brakes on.
Had 2 fords and both cars the rear drums explode or simply fall apart. Near put me off the brand for life and 100% never buying a car with drum brakes ever again. Brave driving this thing.
The smile 😁on your face and feeling 20 something again was worth all the effort Rob, Chris and better the brake pipe broke now rather than later. Nice vid guys , roll on Friday and don’t be late ⏰😂😂👍🏻
Looked earlier and saw no salvage rebuild video ☹️ .... just checked now and there’s a cheeky little RS Turbo uploaded... Getting a coffee and getting stuck into it!
We did do a community post saying it was at 6 👍
@@sruk aaaw man I must have missed that! Even so... it was like finding another sweet in the bag when you thought they were all gone 🙂
What I like about this channel is seeing two seemingly ordinary guys using their imagination and their different skill sets combining to get extraordinary results and making a good living from it-Good on you !
Have to agree with the masses, great video Rob and Chris. I loved the clip of Rob out in the car, brought back wonderful memories of a misspent youth, that acceleration sound still sounds sweet and that grin on Rob's face said it all. Have a good weekend guys.
Great video. Good to see the Rs out on the road can’t wait to next one 👍👍👍👍
Mate i can not believe that i used to travel to laysdown every school holiday in my uncle’s rs turbo you going over the bridge just made it all rush back amazing
Keep up the great work guys love the videos especially the RS vids I absolutely love them 💪🏻🇬🇧👍🏻
I'd call that a win, such a short list of stuff to sort for the MOT.
I've had cars I use everyday get longer lists than that, so well done guys.
Takes me right back, god I wish I'd kept my XR2i. 😂
Great work ! I’m very happy you do!😊😊
Maybe a bit optimistic with the Mot? Now you know what needs doing though . I am sure your not the only one who thought it would go through, been there done that! Apart from the paint it is almost there gents. Another shake down and you'll have a ticket . Nice video Chris and Rob, SRUK classic restoration. 😁👍👍
Rob for what you guys have achieved don't be disappointed it's going to be a little better
Great update video, thank you. It’s never a fail at SRUK.
