Forget 2024 Adam, get the car stripped now to the bare bones & sort it properly once. Do the job right the first time. You will waste twice as much time & twice as much money doing it twice.
I'm loving your fear yet fearless, unknowing (will it work) attacks at all of the challenges you're up against with your "dream car"... Following enthusiastically.. Keep at it.. Doing great for those of us that attempt similar. Gr8 descriptive commentary and informative..... Don't rub ya meat around the welds/cuts rough edge's to check though 😂
Good effort on the repairs Adam. On the LHS 2 pieces of new metal you put in. I would put some strength back in by adding some plug welds. Use a spot welding removal drill bit. Drill through one piece of the two strips and plug weld them. Keep up the good work.
Terry just a thought but when I made mine I put a connecting bar that joins both ends of the rotisserie together once they are on the car. This was an after thought on my part but made such a difference once I did it especially when moving around. Keep up the great work, love the vids 👍👍👍
Did my cars under side, used industrial paint stripper and an electrical drill with a wire brush, then coated the underneath in rust protection, hammerite and under seal and then wax oil in everything.
and have all the dust sitting underneath the cover blowing and back and forth over the paint once doors, tools and heaters etc blowing destroying the paint? think about it next time moronic idea
Great to see some more on the escort cosworth Adam!must be hard to find the time juggling everything, but please keep it coming!you have done so well getting to where you are,love your stuff!Well done mate!
Another cracking video mate. Car is coming along nicely and I like all the explanations of what your doing and why your doing it. Inspires me to have a go with projects on my motorbike. 👍
Get yourself a selection of flapper discs for your grinder, they are soft and form to the metal. Not too harsh for ripping of rust. I’ve got a RTECH mig set, same as yours good kit. I’ll sell you an RTECH tig set if you’re interested. I’m local , hardly been used.
Beautiful car Adam and I remember them back in the day. When I was a lad (1980/90s) I wanted an Escort RS Turbo but it was out of my budget. I find it hard to believe that someone would paint over mud and dirt. Looking forward to seeing the old lady fully restored.
Its getting there Adam, just do what you can while its in bits then enjoy it, cars are meant to be driven, theres a lot of comments saying make it mint while its in bits, i get that, it does make sense but do it how you want to do it,we'll all watch the videos anyway😅
Fair play with the welding, I’ve got an old golf in the garage and a welder which im meant to be using on it but to worried I’m going to set the thing on fire.
Adam what your needing is a good snap on blue point needle gun and hook it up to your compressor and you’ll have all the crusty stuff off in seconds Very tedious with a wire wheel Needle gun takes everything off in seconds Great investment
Well done Adam looking good do agree about doing it while it’s stripped down but then build like this is never going to be a cheap rebuild so may be enjoying it now is the better option 👍🏽your welding is coming on mate looking pukka 👊🏻
Good video, you know what thet say measure twice cut once, id prefur to spend that extra time on prep and get it right than have to start all over again it doesn't matter how long a something takes as long as you get the right results
Adam the welding fires are very sneaky they start in channels in the car I was always checking for smoke flames in the car , but you can never be over cautious If you find more holes I would remove seats and carpet It might take a bit time but the time it’s gonna take to find second hand extra cash you ain’t got and worst completely torching the car it’s worth the while Am letting you know as own experience lucky I was outside once fire gets a hold on under seal it soon spreads fast Just a strong word of warning 😊
Im inclined to do the whole underneath because everytime you take old schults off there is rust, do it properly once you wont have to ever strip it again
Congrats, bloody lovely car.Subbed. I run a 90's Honda that lives outdoors with steel about as thin as a crisp packet so I know all about rust paranoia.😁 So far, so good, mainly because at this stage it's more anti rust wax than car. 😅 And you're dead right about that aftermarket shultz goo(imho). Too often it's just used to cover up existing rot and/or I've seen too many cars rot away underneath the stuff unseen. Even on good steel just the smallest crack can trap moisture underneath.
You are doing a great job,you are way better doing the underside over a couple of years,unless you have help you will get fed up with it,use it for the summer then start on the rest.I thing you will do better to oil spray the bit you have done,it will last for a couple of yars then just spray it again,there are kits out there to buy
you got a big heart............but my heart bleeds for you........any one like me who has been there with rust will know this is a huge task........hope it work out.....cheers..........
(not that i’ve done such welding) but if you watch the pros they dont weld in a line, they do spots along then keep filling the gaps slowly so you dont get too much heat into any one place and avoids warping and blowing thru
Easier way to find the centre of a circle is to use a compass, not a magnetic north direction one - the drawing tool one for drawing circles! Measure the diameter, set the compass to half that, put the pin side of the compass on the edge of the circle and draw a bit of an arc over the approximate middle of your circle. Do it again from any other point around the circle, where your two drawn arcs cross is dead centre and ready for your centre punch. Sorted. Rub your main sausage all over that too to erase the pencil lines.
try the copper weld thru primer, much better for mig its very worth getting one of the cheap chinese plasma cutters, i got the 55amp plasmrgon, originaly got it for sheet steel but its great upto 10mm plate,
Hi Adam. Weird one... A few years back I was looking up gcode stuff for work on youtube and came across a channel which I am sure was your voice. Do you have another channel? Wouldn't mind subscribing, never been able to find it again.

Found an old towel from a dead relative had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thought that was good too!! - only thing is it was his Mrs's bathroom towel and the only dead person will be Adam for nicking it!!.
That's dead funny pmsl
Absolutely spot on how you fabricated that filler knock hole, you need to give yourself more credit! You care and it shows.
Forget 2024 Adam, get the car stripped now to the bare bones & sort it properly once. Do the job right the first time. You will waste twice as much time & twice as much money doing it twice.
No way, I want to use it over the summer.
Never a truer word spoken. Plus you will enjoy it more knowing it’s mint. I wouldn’t want to be rolling around in a half baked car
@jruk1981 think you have to remember he's said he's skint, so enjoyment Is free.... save money do it right over winter
Definitely think do it now it’s stripped, sacrifice one summer
If its mint he wont want to take it out then.......yes ypu lose time doing some strip down twice but..........just enjoy
I admire your determination Adam,keep at it pal,it will be worth it in the end 👍
After 45 years Adam learned me a lifehack how to hoover the tough spots of my car, thanks mate!!
Happy to help 😂👍🏼
Agreed I shall be using that useful info as well, cheers Adam! 😀
Me too 👍
Cracking little repair job, nowt the matter with your welding.
I'm loving your fear yet fearless, unknowing (will it work) attacks at all of the challenges you're up against with your "dream car"...
Following enthusiastically..
Keep at it..
Doing great for those of us that attempt similar.
Gr8 descriptive commentary and informative.....
Don't rub ya meat around the welds/cuts rough edge's to check though 😂
I was a welder mate, that works spot on what your doing, keep practicing,you'll get better,
You had my attention with "an old towel from a dead relative".....lovely car Adam ...
Brilliant bit of work mate Cossie coming on mint
Admire your determination pal,keep at it ,it will be worth it in the end.👍
Adam drops a vid. I’m smashing the kettle on and getting comfy.
😂
You’ll get there mate, just keep plugging away with it 💪
Good effort on the repairs Adam. On the LHS 2 pieces of new metal you put in. I would put some strength back in by adding some plug welds. Use a spot welding removal drill bit. Drill through one piece of the two strips and plug weld them.
Keep up the good work.
Love your little tips Adam and how passionate you are love your content keep up the good work looking forward to your next video 😊
Towel from a dead relative 😂
😂😂🎉
😂😂😂😂😂
Was it still warm?
This made me laugh too, he went full on Alan partridge for a second 😂
So many innuendos. 'Going in dry'.... Nice job. Perfect welding.
Terry just a thought but when I made mine I put a connecting bar that joins both ends of the rotisserie together once they are on the car. This was an after thought on my part but made such a difference once I did it especially when moving around. Keep up the great work, love the vids 👍👍👍
It's your car if you want it out for the summer go for it .I'm enjoying this project Adam.
Best way to work on any car in your own garage. Few chilled beers great crisp pork scratchings nuts and good 80’s music !😅
Did my cars under side, used industrial paint stripper and an electrical drill with a wire brush, then coated the underneath in rust protection, hammerite and under seal and then wax oil in everything.
Hi Adam, doing a good job of interim check/repair ready for the summer. Lovely Cozzie... Alex
Adam, those 2 bits of metal you glued in need plug welding together, you missed the same on the other side.
Great job so far mate
They’re seam welded together just above where I ran my weld. I will probably buy a spot welder to make it look original when I restrip it
@@Adam151082 drill a couple of small holes through 1 layer if steel and fill the holes with weld
I am learning the Northern accent and lingo as i watch these as well as car stuff.
Adam get a cover over that lovely sierra!! It’s getting covered with the grinding dust etc…😢😢 Keep up the good videos 😋
and have all the dust sitting underneath the cover blowing and back and forth over the paint once doors, tools and heaters etc blowing destroying the paint? think about it next time moronic idea
i own a mk4 transit,keeping up with rust is a labour of love
Great channel love all the updates and the trips down to Paul Mr Cossie
Banging welding mate - and another top video, keep them coming pls 👍👍
Absolutely love the hover “cheat” ❤👌
Good tip for the hoover !
Great video Adam, I can fully understand your passion for this car, it’s your dream classic❤.
Nice job Adam , good bit of welding there.
Just a wee tip, you should have drilled some small holes in the front bitty, plug welded through it into the back bitty, flush off with the flap disc.
Great to see some more on the escort cosworth Adam!must be hard to find the time juggling everything, but please keep it coming!you have done so well getting to where you are,love your stuff!Well done mate!
Great videos again mate, absolutely loving watching this.
Brilliant mate need a longer video on the escort cossie could watch you all day fixing back up
Can't go wrong with an Aussie beer! Can you taste the Commonwealth?....lol I'm Aussie by the way. Dick Johnson is a Cossy legend!
Good luck bro big job on your hands there
Another cracking video mate. Car is coming along nicely and I like all the explanations of what your doing and why your doing it. Inspires me to have a go with projects on my motorbike. 👍
That hoover tip is useful, why didn't I think of that!
Get yourself a selection of flapper discs for your grinder, they are soft and form to the metal. Not too harsh for ripping of rust. I’ve got a RTECH mig set, same as yours good kit. I’ll sell you an RTECH tig set if you’re interested. I’m local , hardly been used.
What a brillant video ! Well done mate and glad no sausages were harmed in the making or testing in the video 😂
Loving the videos Adam keep up the good work
nice job nice to see someone do a proper job
Thanks for all the great content you have on your channel it’s been a journey 👍👍👍
Beautiful car Adam and I remember them back in the day. When I was a lad (1980/90s) I wanted an Escort RS Turbo but it was out of my budget. I find it hard to believe that someone would paint over mud and dirt. Looking forward to seeing the old lady fully restored.
Great video. Love the one liners 😁 Hopefully in my next life ill have a garage..lol
Its getting there Adam, just do what you can while its in bits then enjoy it, cars are meant to be driven, theres a lot of comments saying make it mint while its in bits, i get that, it does make sense but do it how you want to do it,we'll all watch the videos anyway😅
Away with work in japan. Realy enjoying the build mate keep it up.
It’s coming on Ad well done 👍
Fair play with the welding, I’ve got an old golf in the garage and a welder which im meant to be using on it but to worried I’m going to set the thing on fire.
Adam what your needing is a good snap on blue point needle gun and hook it up to your compressor and you’ll have all the crusty stuff off in seconds Very tedious with a wire wheel Needle gun takes everything off in seconds Great investment
Something I do do when I do the hovering 😂got to love a mackems grammar
Love your videos , got some great phrases aswell , borrowed a towel from a dead relative 😂. Doing a great job , keep it up 👍
You should watch Yorkshire car restoration to get some welding tips. The way he uses paper to make templates is fantastic.
Any videos up of your restorations?
Great idea for finding the center of the hole
Great job Adam. Love your humour. Just ordered my free beers. Great start to the weekend
Cant wait to see it finished adam
Ne hints or tips but just wanted to say what a miss these videos are when you don't see them for a while. Good crack and good work on the cars
Well done Adam looking good do agree about doing it while it’s stripped down but then build like this is never going to be a cheap rebuild so may be enjoying it now is the better option 👍🏽your welding is coming on mate looking pukka 👊🏻
You getting good at this welding adam
Good video, you know what thet say measure twice cut once, id prefur to spend that extra time on prep and get it right than have to start all over again it doesn't matter how long a something takes as long as you get the right results
You need some gilbow snips for cutting repair patches. Used them in roof cladding for years .
Adam the welding fires are very sneaky they start in channels in the car
I was always checking for smoke flames in the car , but you can never be over cautious
If you find more holes I would remove seats and carpet
It might take a bit time but the time it’s gonna take to find second hand extra cash you ain’t got and worst completely torching the car it’s worth the while
Am letting you know as own experience lucky I was outside once fire gets a hold on under seal it soon spreads fast
Just a strong word of warning 😊
Fair play bud. You're in there now so you may as well get balls deep and finish the car. Welding is a love hate job but your doing a grand job.
Good tip with the hose in the hoover!
Im inclined to do the whole underneath because everytime you take old schults off there is rust, do it properly once you wont have to ever strip it again

Plodding along mate, it's all a learning curve pal.
Always had new cars but if I was anything like brave enough to take something like this on it would be awesome, love the videos.
you got a big heart............but my heart bleeds for you........any one like me who has been there with rust will know this is a huge task........hope it work out.....cheers..........

Top job as always, keep it coming, what is the welding helmet make
I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Adam is such a likeable guy.

loving these videos Adam.. Really interesting to watch
Love it Adam absolutely brilliant mate 👍

Great videos mate - pick your brains - i have a 210 HP TDCI Mondeo - it’s better than it sounds - do you recommend any diesel additives?
No idea why this channel has exploded yet. Always a good watch.
We need longer videos Adam 👍🏻
A lovely job as always Adam 1st class good luck 👍👍
Adam do a proper job on it
Get the 3 door out and enjoy
The escort can wait
Nicely done!
Clever chap, but you must have a very understanding family.
Wow what a beautiful car best colour aswell them wheels look amazing aswell do you not build Fiesta or do u just do sierra and Escort ???
