    Praise God you both were not hurt, really makes you appreciate how much work goes into building one of these wonderful machines.
    Loved seeing your red feather friend helping with the clean up work. Looking forward to see her rolling out the door, and watching you Frank getting baby blue sideways once again. Just brilliant. 👍

    Frank, you're the man. As you say, you can either cry about it, or crack on and fix it. Awesome to see those shells at Higgins, i nearly spat me tea out! Can't wait to see those lovely new panels on Baby Blue👍
    Can i just add, the chucks were doing an awesome job of keeping the workshop clean, they need some Kelly motorsport vests on, fella😊

  • @marksmith762
    @marksmith762 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Wow that has been some amazing work to transform the damage. It’s great that all the panels are available brand new from Higgins. Thanks for showing what you’ve done so far. Can’t wait to see the next phase when Baby Blue is put back together. I’m amazed how well the main core of the car has held together. Just incredible. That’s blown me away. Keep up the fantastic work

  • @danielcgomez

    Glad to see the Escort is going to be rebuilt! ...If there was anything positive from this, is the chickens got some seeds from the field! ...btw Frank, we would love to see you come down to Barbados for the All Stage Rally one year! Lots of competitors from your neck of the woods have been coming down for years :) ...All the best with the rebuild!

    @stephenmeehan9961 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Nice to see progress. I’m hoping those shells weren’t all your spares?
    Also, just thank the good Lord you’re ok. That was quite the wreck. I’m willing to bet you haven’t done summersaults since you school days?

  • @Bob-Jenkins
    @Bob-Jenkins ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good to see that Frank has his head screwed on correctly, personally I'd lose the plot if my assistant mechanics just wandered around clucking away all day like a couple of old chooks.
    I don't know if anyone else noticed how chillingly similar Craig Breen's crash was to Frank and Lauren's. I saw Craig's prior to seeing Baby Blue, and then seeing the person shaped hole in the windscreen of the Escort I thought the worst. It's an absolute tragedy with what happened to Craig Breen, but after following the mad Kelly clan for years, buying their merch and only realising that they were literally 10 minutes from where I live the day after they left following the rally here in Adelaide, South Australia. [To think, I could have shaken Baby Blue's hand and asked for an autograph - I mean Frank's hand, yeah, and HIS autograph *cough cough] Seriously though it was a shock to see what happened, and I'm glad that you two are safe and injury free.
    So with those chooks at Frank's side, waking him up at the crack of dawn and overseeing Baby Blue's rebuild we will be looking forward to seeing you three on the road again. Watching your crazy antics, and chuckling at the father/daughter Irish banter. Now they weren't tears in Frank's eyes at the start of the video were they, but if they were he's in good company because when Eric Bana wrote off (Love The Beast) his beloved Falcon during Targa Tasmania he was feeling very much the same way, but he was leaking from his eyes a lot more than Frank - if he was of course.
