Great work John, I like how you just get down to things without repeating yourself or filling time with shite it just like your telling a pal what your doing and what you’ve done ✔️ keep it up , love this project, I’m looking forward to seeing what this is going to be like on the road 👌👍👍
The extra detail of the “box duct” really does add to the functional appearance, compared to the alternative of paint etc. Nice to see the Escort also, great work!
Thanks, in reality I get to think about these jobs a lot to prepare for them…. I could be lying in bed awake thinking about bonnet hinges and the likes
Escort looks amazing in white. Love the 6R4 project and really impressed with your skills and attention to detail, looking forward to see the rest of the journey!
Great work John, glad the vents worked out well. That Escort shell looks incredible too, a lot of effort has gone into it to get it that nice. Thanks for showing your fabrication/thought process, it's what a lot of us have subscribed to see how you tackle the unique 'opportunities' this build presents!
Great work! Everything you're doing is what I'd love to have done if my life hadn't gone down a different path. Thanks for sharing these great builds. 👍
Some great engineering work on both the tailgate vent illusions and the bonnet hinges. So looking forward to seeing this build finished. Enjoying watching this build, well done. The Escort is also a credit to you, looked mint.
I love the camera button click at the end of each scene. Something very wholesome about it! Superb workmanship and problem solving, really enjoying watching these! Your work has always been impeccable, keep 'r lit!
Man, I love this channel. Your problem solving is amazing and then your execution matches it! Rear tailgate is looking fab’ and I also enjoyed the section on the MK2 Escort, as it gives further insight into the stuff you are capable of producing. Cheers, John. Look forward to the next installment❤
Great video as always John,the escort looks amazing in white 👍 also great progress on that tailgate..it’s the small details that make the finished product special..top job ❤️👍
Good stuff, thanks for uploading this. I appreciate the thought process behind trying to make the bonnet hinges work. It shows that you’re not just stitching a shell on the Boxster and saying it’s done. Also the wheels it’s sitting on are tasty, highlights how wide the car is.
Brilliant Build........by far the Best thing on TH-cam at the minute...I love that its not one of these Smashed Influencers 'Supercars' that are getting Repaired/Modified At least with this ,it's a Build That Your Average Car Guy could go and Try without having to get into Hundreds of Thousands of £££££ worth of debt.......knowing that for most of the people watching it is Out Of Reach For Them to Attempt Themselves Can't wait to see the finished Car! What A Machine that will be.....I just wish I could Binge watch it from Start to Finish.....but then "All Good Things Come To Those Who Wait" Love It,keep Up The Process, I'm sure this channel will blow up once some more people get to see it and spread the Word........take a bow my friend,Great Job
Smile came on my face when I saw the next instalment pop up lol… Luv your work and narration, keep em coming along with future projects…. theres always an appetite for quality builds….. Mk2 looks great, all best 👍🍺
Really love these videos, and your attention to detail and ability to just make whatever you want/need is amazing. Last week i searched your channel to see if there was an upload waiting for this episode haha!
Thanks, some of the stuff that’s just not interesting il not bother to film, but the general construction of how it’s out together I think is good content
Fantastic work as always. One of the best car series on TH-cam, really enjoying watching. The idea for the rear wing mounts is pretty much what Fiat did for the rear lights of the mk2 Punto, you needed a key that was essentially a 13mm socket on a tube, so you now have some Italian flare added 😂
Great videos, I look forward to the notification popping up every time for your next videos. Hope you see this project through to the end, watched a few TH-camrs start a 6R4 and never finish it. Keep going mate great work 👍🏼
Absolutely Great Work! The detail work is critical, seeing the perfectly restored Mk2 Escort gets me all nostalgic, I owned a White 2 door 1976 Mk2 Escort, crashed it then sold it to my local Garage who turned it into a Rally Car. They used to take me and my mate in the RWD converted Mk3 Gymkhana Escort around the industrial estate full speed! Loved it 😂
Top notch work John, love to see it. Nice solution with the socket on the tube, Draper did a socket set called the Vortex that's a big help for that kind of job.
Christ that's starting to look awesome, the view from the rear at the end of the video with the wheel filling the arch and the tailgate almost complete really giving a glimpse of how insane this car will look. Wish I had 1% of your skills.
Fantastic work! Love how your channel is evolving - keep it up. I’m a Bangor Co. Down lad living in New Zealand so it’s good to see some videos from NI 🎉
Keep up the good work, the car is coming along nicely. The mk2 also looks incredible. I'm lucky to have a real 6r4 at the British motor museum around the corner. I was giving it a good look over and was enjoying the panel gaps 😂. Yours is going to be far superior.
Looks great with the new wheels on,the tailgate spoiler I would recommend stainless steel threaded bar ,having seen lots of kit cars where rust stains appear at joints like this ✅
Happy anniversary for the other day mate I absolutely love what your doing to make the 6r4 look as automatic as possible it’s all about the details and I can’t wait to see and hear it when it’s finished
the vents look great, also had a thought that they might be cool to put some sort of light in there, to make it more of a feature, the escort looks great aswel
Love the idea with the rear vents ...I might've used some high strength magnets to the covers which would give the option of removing the covers for additional cooling at the track(if you were the sort of person to take it to a track event). Great work so far! ...Well done on the Mk. 2 Escort too btw! Keep up the great work as usual!
the reason for making them is that the cabin is behind them, and so that’s why it needs to be water tight. If the engine was behind them I could have left them open like the real 6r4. The engine is under cover/floor like it is in the boxster
Nice job, coming along great. I use a similar method for locating blind holes, where you used body filler i use blue tac, same end result but less mess.
Great work John, I like how you just get down to things without repeating yourself or filling time with shite it just like your telling a pal what your doing and what you’ve done ✔️ keep it up , love this project, I’m looking forward to seeing what this is going to be like on the road 👌👍👍
Thank you, well I’m trying to make the type of video that I’d like to watch, at least I think I’d like to watch it! lol
The extra detail of the “box duct” really does add to the functional appearance, compared to the alternative of paint etc.
Nice to see the Escort also, great work!
Thanks, I think it was worth doing, but it was a very convoluted way to get there as opposed to painting it black
Love the way this Channel is going. Amazing workmanship the MK2 looks brilliant. Keep it going one of the best things on TH-cam
Thanks, glad you’re enjoying it.
@@pedenconceptz it good to see the thought process of it all
Fantastic workmanship 😎😎
Thanks, I’m enjoying doing it
Best build on TH-cam! Really great content and concept
Thanks very much
It's coming on a treat now ....and the MK2 looks mint cracking job you done there
That escort has been here that long I don’t know what to do with myself without it here
The Escort is gorgeous. Walking around the car you can tell it is near perfect as there is no blemished. The Metro is going to be as good.
Well, we will see, il certainly try anyway
Really enjoying this content John… love the thought processes and general skills on show… adore the car too which also helps!!! ✊❤️👍
Thanks brocks!
those fakey ducts look really neat, it's really coming together :)
Thanks, I thought they were a nice touch
i cant tell you how much i was looking forward to this next video. It did not disappoint! Awesome
Thanks very much!
Great channel John, she's coming along nicely.
Thanks! She will get there in the end
That mk2 looks really great.
Thanks, it was ALOT of work!
Firstly congrats on the anniversary. Secondly I haven’t seen genius like this since Binky. The way you think on your feet is just incredible. Bravo.
Thanks, in reality I get to think about these jobs a lot to prepare for them…. I could be lying in bed awake thinking about bonnet hinges and the likes
Great Saturday night viewing. Love the standard of finish on the MK2 and bodes well for things to come on the 6R4 😎
Thanks, Itl be a while until the metro looks like that though!!
Another great video... I like the way you explain your thought process...
Thanks, I never really thought about it, it just seems to make sense to do it that way
You have great fabrication skills for sure.great work.
Thanks very much
Escort looks amazing in white. Love the 6R4 project and really impressed with your skills and attention to detail, looking forward to see the rest of the journey!
Thanks very much

Thanks for showing your fabrication/thought process, it's what a lot of us have subscribed to see how you tackle the unique 'opportunities' this build presents!
Thanks, there are certainly plenty of those opportunities… but getting through them
Great work! Everything you're doing is what I'd love to have done if my life hadn't gone down a different path. Thanks for sharing these great builds. 👍
Thanks, I don’t know whether I’m wise doing it or not, but I’m doing it anyway!
Some great engineering work on both the tailgate vent illusions and the bonnet hinges. So looking forward to seeing this build finished. Enjoying watching this build, well done. The Escort is also a credit to you, looked mint.
Thanks, the escort did take a long time, but the escort is for fun and I’m enjoying the process
I love the camera button click at the end of each scene. Something very wholesome about it! Superb workmanship and problem solving, really enjoying watching these! Your work has always been impeccable, keep 'r lit!
Thanks, yes, I think we have reached the limit of my editing ability’s!
This is gonna be the most reliable Metro ever build. The parts you are creating for it are amazing quality for being handmade.
Hopefully, though fixing it might be a bit more expensive
Man, I love this channel. Your problem solving is amazing and then your execution matches it! Rear tailgate is looking fab’ and I also enjoyed the section on the MK2 Escort, as it gives further insight into the stuff you are capable of producing. Cheers, John. Look forward to the next installment❤
Thanks, seemingly there is always a solution, just sometimes hard to find one than others
Good work John 👍 This is a cracking build mate, absolutely love it. Can't wait for the next one. 😊 Thanks.
Thanks, hopefully won’t be as long as I’ve a bit more time freed up
Just amazing how you solve all the problems and do it so well. Brilliant work. Love this build.
I think that’s just what a project like this is, a series of problems. But it’s no different to anything else, you just have to find a way round them
Great video as always John,the escort looks amazing in white 👍 also great progress on that tailgate..it’s the small details that make the finished product special..top job ❤️👍
Thanks again!
escort looks amazing 👍 loving the progress on the metro mate
Thanks! Yes it’s coming on ok, maybe not just as fast as I’d like
@pedenconceptz anything worth doing right will take time mate keep up the great work 👍
Loving the work you've done on the mk2.
I can't wait to see the rest of your progress with the metro.
Thanks, hopefully have it finished for some shows next year
Love the car and how it's progressing. Great to see you working through the problems. That escort shell looked sweet. Great stuff all round.
Still a good few problems to get round but we will manage I’m sure
Love this, the attention to detail is next level. Can’t wait to see it in person ❤
Thanks, it should be nice when it’s done… I hooe
Good stuff, thanks for uploading this. I appreciate the thought process behind trying to make the bonnet hinges work. It shows that you’re not just stitching a shell on the Boxster and saying it’s done. Also the wheels it’s sitting on are tasty, highlights how wide the car is.
Thanks. I really want it to look like a ‘finished’ piece when it’s fone, if that makes sense. Seamless
That bonnet opening moment 👌🙌🙌 another great video, sure everyone else is thinking the same as me.. we’d love any content from you
Thanks, I’m really pleased with how it worked for minimal effort
Amazing attention to detail, can't wait to see this come together
Thanks
Brilliant Build........by far the Best thing on TH-cam at the minute...I love that its not one of these Smashed Influencers 'Supercars' that are getting Repaired/Modified
At least with this ,it's a Build That Your Average Car Guy could go and Try without having to get into Hundreds of Thousands of £££££ worth of debt.......knowing that for most of the people watching it is Out Of Reach For Them to Attempt Themselves
Can't wait to see the finished Car! What A Machine that will be.....I just wish I could Binge watch it from Start to Finish.....but then "All Good Things Come To Those Who Wait"
Love It,keep Up The Process, I'm sure this channel will blow up once some more people get to see it and spread the Word........take a bow my friend,Great Job
Thanks very much. Yes if it does ok I’ve a project to come after.
Smile came on my face when I saw the next instalment pop up lol… Luv your work and narration, keep em coming along with future projects…. theres always an appetite for quality builds….. Mk2 looks great, all best 👍🍺
Thanks, if the channel does decent il stick at it, but the metro il finish on here regardless
Love the mk2 and the metro pal ❤️👍💪
Thanks! 👍
This build is progressing nicely mate and really well done, looking forward to seeing more
Thanks
Terrific job John, had the same problem with my rear lights
It was my own fault, should have tried them in ages ago
Really love these videos, and your attention to detail and ability to just make whatever you want/need is amazing. Last week i searched your channel to see if there was an upload waiting for this episode haha!
Thanks, hopefully you won’t have to wait as long for the next one
Cant get enough of these videos John, fantastic work as usual.
Thanks for watching
Great to see a channel grow like this 👍 looks amazing
Thanks very much
Love the Metro, those rear vents look factory, but wow! the quality of work on that mk 2 is something else.
Thank you
Really enjoying the channel, appreciate the honesty and the detail, too often the fiddly jobs are glossed over.
Thanks, some of the stuff that’s just not interesting il not bother to film, but the general construction of how it’s out together I think is good content
Fantastic work as always. One of the best car series on TH-cam, really enjoying watching.
The idea for the rear wing mounts is pretty much what Fiat did for the rear lights of the mk2 Punto, you needed a key that was essentially a 13mm socket on a tube, so you now have some Italian flare added 😂
Thanks, oh there could be some Italian flair in a later project
I’m looking forward to seeing this done👌🏻that Mexico is superb too👍🏻
Thanks for watching 👍
Just binge watched all the videos. Lovely attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing the wheel choice 😀👌
Thanks for watching them all. That will come in a later episode, but of money getting all the parts gathered up
This is so cool
Cant wait to see it finished, i actually love your attention to detail 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks
This is going to be a little beast, some nice and labour-intensive work going in to it
The MK2 Scort - Damn! That looked epic
Thanks very much
Great videos, I look forward to the notification popping up every time for your next videos. Hope you see this project through to the end, watched a few TH-camrs start a 6R4 and never finish it. Keep going mate great work 👍🏼
Yes, I’ve bought some parts for it recently and I’m into it now to the point where it has to get finished
Absolutely Great Work!
The detail work is critical, seeing the perfectly restored Mk2 Escort gets me all nostalgic, I owned a White 2 door 1976 Mk2 Escort, crashed it then sold it to my local Garage who turned it into a Rally Car.
They used to take me and my mate in the RWD converted Mk3 Gymkhana Escort around the industrial estate full speed! Loved it 😂
Funny enough, I always say that everyone has stories of crashing their old escorts…. Which pretty much says they don’t handle that well! Lol
Love the honesty of your channel....thanks
Thanks
Yay, progress!
Thanks again!
Nice to see some one doing a proper job and good attention to the small details. Also the Escort looked awesome. 👍
Thanks. I don’t mind spending the time on it if it turns out the way I want it to
Absolutely loving this channel john, be interesting to see the work from your daily job too. Keep up the good work
Il see, I don’t want to water down the content too much, I think people came to see the metro, and that’s what they expect to see…. But il consider it
Loving this channel , can't wait until the next one .
Thanks, hopefully not as long until the next one
That Escort is stunning. Great 6r4 build too!
Thanks
I’m impressed how it’s coming together. Always eager for more of this build. Definitely different
Thanks, yes to be fair I’m interested in it myself and that helps keep me working on it
Outstanding workmanship. Look forward to the next one
Thanks
Top notch work John, love to see it.
Nice solution with the socket on the tube, Draper did a socket set called the Vortex that's a big help for that kind of job.
Thanks, il look into those!
Awesome! Loving the attention to detail 👍👍
Thanks
Love this build. Always enjoying out of the box builds. And the quality is great. Keep it up 👍
Thanks for watching, I do like watching a big build myself
Christ that's starting to look awesome, the view from the rear at the end of the video with the wheel filling the arch and the tailgate almost complete really giving a glimpse of how insane this car will look. Wish I had 1% of your skills.
All the jobs are simple, you just have to break them down to their parts
Amazing work as ever. I love this build!
Thanks
Brilliant build mate, really good to watch it take shape
Thanks
Fantastic work! Love how your channel is evolving - keep it up. I’m a Bangor Co. Down lad living in New Zealand so it’s good to see some videos from NI 🎉
There’s no place like home…. For rain
Coming along nicely fella👌 them hinges for the bonnet are mega mate🔥🔥
Thanks, I was very pleased how they worked out!
Great work! Gonna be an awesome little car.
Thanks, I hope so
Craftsmanship + ingenuity = great product 👏
Thanks, a long way to go still though
You're solutions are always ingenious! Great work! Escort looks mint too!
Thanks SuperRon 👍
Metro tailgate is cool and that Escort looks awesome buddy. I know its not yours but would love to see an update on the sport when it done!
I think he’s planning to take his time with it, but if I can later il show an update on it
@@pedenconceptz awesome looking forward to that
I can't wait to see this car on the road. Absolutely first class. Love your work
Thanks, I should have it out next year
Great work again John, fantastic attention to detail I'm loving this build😎😎😎
Thank you
Brilliant! Love your videos:) amazing progress! Thanks so much for sharing the journey
Thanks
Fantastic channel , love this build.
Thanks for watching
The tailgate vents look mega 👍
Thanks
very interesting build
Thanks
Thanks for sharing your work, I’m sure everbody would be happy to see more of your paid work as well 👍🏻
Thanks
Congratulations John.
Both cars look amazing.
You should be justifiably proud of yourself. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
Keep up the good work, the car is coming along nicely. The mk2 also looks incredible.
I'm lucky to have a real 6r4 at the British motor museum around the corner. I was giving it a good look over and was enjoying the panel gaps 😂. Yours is going to be far superior.
Yes, people don’t believe me when I say how bad they are typically. I think they think I’m doing something wrong! lol
Looks great with the new wheels on,the tailgate spoiler I would recommend stainless steel threaded bar ,having seen lots of kit cars where rust stains appear at joints like this ✅
Yea, you could be right, I got that out of Screwfix on a Saturday, and it was all I could get anyway. Thanks il see if I can find some
I would watch your 'work' restoration projects such as that Escort. Your work is fantastic
Thanks, il see, I can’t really work on peoples cars and charge them, then take an hour messing about filming it, it’s ok on my own car though
Happy anniversary for the other day mate I absolutely love what your doing to make the 6r4 look as automatic as possible it’s all about the details and I can’t wait to see and hear it when it’s finished
Thanks, I’ve no idea what it will sound like, it’s too loud now with no exhaust… and I’ve not much room to fit one
I’m sure you’ll figure something out and by the look of the work you’ve done on the escort the 6r4 will be a very nice car
M8 thats amazing work that your doing, That will look awesome when it's done for sure....
Thank you
Awesome project
Thanks
@@pedenconceptz Tesla powered MK2 Escort.... using a Model 3 motor fitted behind the rear axel line... 60kw battery... 400bhp should be possible... :)
Very neat and great attention to detail
Thanks
On ya John! Love the progress. Been holding out for this! Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks, hopefully the next one will be along sooner
Love this so much Awsome work 😊
Thanks
Love this build! Great progress and problem solving!
Thanks
Great work mate . Really enjoying following this project . Thanks 👍🏼
Thanks for watching
Quality job on the hinges, stuff like that is a real headache! 👏👏
You know, it really worked out much easier than i thought it might, but you have to take the wins where you can get them
Happy Anniversary Dude. The car is really coming together well - looking forward to the next video already... :)
Thanks, shouldn’t be as long till
The next one
Trials, tribulations and tailgates. Those toys are lucky they’re not in a muddy ditch!
Thanks, I had to get the grinder out right away or I’d have walked away
the vents look great, also had a thought that they might be cool to put some sort of light in there, to make it more of a feature, the escort looks great aswel
Maybe, there’s not much access though to make them serviceable though. In fact I’ve to glue them on before assembling the tailgate
@@pedenconceptz ahh fair enough, would be a bit of a nightmare to service too
Fantastic video John
Thanks very much
Love the idea with the rear vents ...I might've used some high strength magnets to the covers which would give the option of removing the covers for additional cooling at the track(if you were the sort of person to take it to a track event). Great work so far! ...Well done on the Mk. 2 Escort too btw! Keep up the great work as usual!
the reason for making them is that the cabin is behind them, and so that’s why it needs to be water tight. If the engine was behind them I could have left them open like the real 6r4. The engine is under cover/floor like it is in the boxster
@@pedenconceptz oh, right ...there's some distance between the trunk door and the engine, understood. 😉
this is Brilliant Work ❤
Thank you!
Those vents look great. So does the off white. Well done.m
Yes it’s growing on me
Nice job, coming along great. I use a similar method for locating blind holes, where you used body filler i use blue tac, same end result but less mess.
Never thought of that… but then I’ve never any bluetac…. I’ve done play dough knocking about though
Bonnet hinge solution is brilliant!
Thanks. It was handy that I’d just worked on an escort
Awesome build! Keep it up and hope for more soon!
Thanks
