A few people have asked how much I paid for the car and how much I sold it for.
I paid £13k or £13.5 recovered home after fuel, coffee, food, recovery etc
I spent a lot of money on the car
New suspension £900
New wheels. £600
New full interior £1200 (with new seat foam, van hire, fuel etc)
Full new fuel system with new fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel loom, fuel hoses, clips etc £1000
There must easily be another £3-4k in other small parts, paint, new badges, new lights, new bolts, oils, filters, hoses, cables, etc.
I then sold the car for £20k. So I maybe broke even. Probably lost a little if I’m honest, but I had fun doing it. 🤩
Well done buddy you done a nice job on that yourself! Csnt wait to see more on the escort cossie 👊🏻👍🏻
When did you sell it? Seems cheap for a minter???
Love these videos. Such a refreshing change from the usual TH-camrs with unobtainable cars and adverts trying to sell you meal replacement shakes every 5 minutes. Top work 👍🏻
Yeah the thing with Adam is we can see the amount of hard work he puts into restoring them back to how they should be and I am sure we don't even see half of the stuff he actually does. If he resells any of these all I'd do is say "Here's my channel" showing him working on them, it's the best advertisement and peace of mind there is for anyone buying these restored versions. Adam is such a genuine guy. 🙂
You sound like you haven't had your Y food
Adam, You might be aware but ringers back in the day (90s) were very cute at welding in correctly stamped floor numbers. So good even when the paint was removed around the stamp you could hardly see the weld. Highlighting the weld using dye penetrant was able to show whether the stamp area had been changed. Always check every glass panel for etching, and remove any stickers on them, as Ive seen them with etched windows with the original reg no hidden with stripes/alarm stickers etc. I don't doubt you know your'e way around with motors, wouldnt want you getting caught out mate. Amazing skills your detailer has , very impressive. It didnt look that dirty.
Stunning mini restoration, my favourite bit had to be you swearing at the horn though 😂
Fair bloody play to you Adam lad you worked ya knackers off on that Cosworth, and it definitely showed once you had finished. Blimey what a transformation!!! 😮
Great watch Adam the car amazingly had very little actual corrosion that was really interesting..lot of time effort and hard work put in..although not full restoration you did a fantastic job fella..well done 👍
Already watched all your individual videos on the restoration. This compilation shows what a great job you’ve done. Some useful stuff in there on where to source parts and tackle some of the smaller cosmetic jobs as well.
Fairplay to you Adam for taking these projects on. Keeping them on the road is the most important thing. And hopefully make a few quid along the way. Thanks for the content. 👍
The horn part is comedy gold. Great vid 👍
🤣🤣🤣
Was good seeing this recap of the restoration, I like when you mention paint booth and then show pic of shed 😂, your content just gets better every time Adam 👍
He keeps buying more and more Cossies! 🙂
Hi Adam, nice work by your self. I have pased that to. For little metal parts, try to consider to bring them on yellow zinc coating. It is cheap, also it is very good protection and it looks very nice. Just continue rescuing that cars and give them love. They are in good hands 👍
Some of that grey raptor chassis sealer would be a great addition to the Escort RS. A lot of hard work put into the Sierra restoration and content updates thanks Adam.
Defo going to be a 50 to 70k car attention to detail is spot on mate love you're work.
Maximum respect to you Adam you put in the hard craft in and made the car look a million dollars, I wanted to speak to you at the car show at the NEC keep up the good work really enspiering mate😊
Nice little watch that 👍 a good honest cleanup without going overboard which will make a great usable car for the new owner 👏👏
I'm not particularly into Cosworths and I'm not technically minded, but your engaging content and enthusiasm is a pleasure to watch. It's great to see your projects come along and I appreciate how you put your cars back to stock as best you can. Great stuff.
I really do like the direction this channel is going. Fair play to you Adam 👍😉
Great video, lad. Love the way you're putting it all back to standard. Geogeous car. ❤
First time watching your work, mate, and what a joy it was ! Your attention to detail is awesome 👌 👏. The car horn section was hysterical 😆 🤣 like something that happens to me . Top drawer, mate .
Hi Adam, another great video mate especially loved the bit changing the steering wheel when you jumped as the horn kept beeping lol 😂
Brilliant video... steering wheel fitting was funny... loved the darker clusters... needs a private plate... overall beautiful project... made it look easy....
Give ova man!
Well done what you are doing to the cossy in limited space you have looks good so far.
Credit for your patience and percevience Adam especially funny with the steering wheel Please keep these videos going
Doing god's work. Reviving the 4 door version of the greatest car ever made.
The car looks really good now Adam . The only thing I would have done differently is kept the original wheels
Class video Adam mate. Cloth interior finishes it off beautifully!
Adam, waited until the end for you to say how much you’d spent and sold it for. But sadly you didn’t.
WELL DONE SON 👍🇬🇧
Wish I had thought of that John
He could just text it here for you 👍
I am guessing he paid around £13,000 for the car and sold it for around £20,000
Not a Ford fan but find myself loving these videos 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍
Incredible job, car is stunning
So after Adam does all the hard-work, how much does he sell it for?
Nice work, Adam. Another one rescued from neglect.
Cant help but think that header tank would look mint in Black crackle paint.
Your an inspiration to me girlfriends brother to start getting my xr2i off flats and give him a project for the winter months.. ill be there kettle in hand k-riz in the other;)
Adam, that clip with the horn is one of the funniest things ive seen😂😂. Great work lad keep it up👌
Wow, for a mackem you've made a canny job on that. Well done son 👍👏👏
Well done Adam you got her looking so much better mate.
loved the series on the sapphire cossie, but she had to go to make room got the escort cossie 🏎️ , loving the new series on it & the work youve put into her so far & in futurexepisodes , well done Adam, keep up the good work 👏👏
Wicked seeing a start to finish compilation ! For some strange reason I miss the squeaky Car Jack!
Great to see people working on their own cars
You done a amazing job cosworths looking great
Well done.
Well worth the full video on the couch just to hear that turbo chatter at the end.
Just came across your channel and i have toto say i love it ,,liked and subscribed, keep them coming mate 👍
At 11 minutes and 40 seconds....... Back in the day someone was parked up the backroads listening to Bonkers looking cool on his TSW Hockenheim Rs and just as he was about to make a Jamaican cigarette he lost his last smoke somewhere down the side of the seat.
I remember getting noshed off while driving by my first wife back in the 90's, it was all rather pleasant as far as I can recall. Love the channel. 👍👍👍👍👍
The repeated jump every time the horn went off as if it was a surprise had me buckled🤣
Theres a white sapphire cosworth around the corner from me & its been sat there for a good few yrs body looks ok on it.
Decent work Adam!! Just the way i would do it too. Cheers from Holland! 👍
Remember watching the build of this from start was an amazing transformation you done Adam.sad you got rid of it but then again you got the escort cossie which will be amazing when you get your the bottom of the niggles with it 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏽👍🏽
In terms of content I think this is your best video yet Adam, was made up when you started restoring the underneath, few quirks in the edit lol like a harmonica playing when you were spraying the underside, your voice over was very quiet in some places or it was only coming out of the right speaker as I only had my left headphone in. But yeah great video Adam and loved the format and the length well done and thank you.
Think I prefer the old wheels though.
Brilliant video adam another one saved 😊
Absolutely mint video but the steering wheel changing has class absolutely crying at the horn 😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoyed watching that again 👏
I a seen this a long time ago Adam can not wait to see the end result 🙂
Hahah the steering wheel change was hilarious haha what a good watch
I really enjoy your videos Adam. Been watching since you got the escort. Refitting the horn to the cosy was too funny! Did you salvage and restore the whole fuel pump bracket on the Cosy??
Great recap, half tank of fuel result,
Absolutely fantastic job you have skills my friend 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍
Nice video again Adam! loved it. What dumpvalve did you put on this cossie??
That horn! 🤣you had me dying as I know the pain!
Was the 4x4 a better car? Is that what had the leather interior, etc? .. you didn't have an amazing job on that, mate 👏 it just shows what you cam achieve with hard graft and patience
Wow what a great vid dude you made an excellent job of this 😊 first vid I’ve watched of yours subscribed 👍 Pete
44:54 I'm just going to presume that wasn't you Adam. We'll say no more about it lol.
bro amazing stuff! Cossie restoration
Best bit of the vid is you arguing with the horn, hilarious😂
I was peeing myself laughing when you were changing the steering wheel mate😂😂😂😂😂
The horn bit had me in stitches! LOL!
I have a photo of me in a white Cossie at the launch in the secc motor show,,Linda lusardi was launching the Mazda MX-5,I much preferred a photo in the Cossie🤟😎🤟
Great video I'm quite new to your channel so not seen all your videos, is this siera cossie the older one you sold to get the escort cossie ?
11:37 someone stashed a full cig there? 😂How can that end up perfectly in that gap?
27:30 Adam Vs Horn hahaha
*ADAM YOU BOUGHT ANOTHER COSSIE?* 👍👍
Has that ever been registered to. Bloke in balornock Glasgow?? Looks like a friend's uncles,I sat in his drive under a tarp for six years,,
Great video, the bit with the horn really made me laugh.
How much did cost to restore & how much did you sell it for. We were all waiting for the costs. We ain't gonna judge ya Adam weather you made money or not, it's just nice to know these things isn't it. ✌🏼
Also where did you buy door mouldings and bumper stripes can you share please?
Respect for doing that
Lovely job
That is sick fella fantastic job mate
I was gripped fro startcto finish may favourite car in my favourite colour i fist saw 1 when i was 15 in 1986 to say thery are good looking is a understatement

The horn cracks me up hahaha.
You should’ve kept sapphire cossy Adam

@adam151082 can u actually weld or just had a go at it? always feel tempted to buy a welder and have a crack at arch repair panels on my e46 cab.
Great job it looks great 🙌🏼
Loved watching this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Where in Scotland did you get it Adam? I recognise it
Well done mate...looks good 👌
Look at what you made of it tho 😍
Great Job matey !
Fixing that horn @ *& # ! Comedy Gold 🙂
❤❤ looks mint now
Great video mate , loved it
Nice Car, umm red reverse lights ha whats going on there?
When you are doing rust in the bottom you need to paint the inside of the new peace to make it not rust again
Are you going to do under the escort through winter ?
Adam u still working on the engine u bought
I remember back around 1999 going to see a white one near me in Scotland, the dealer wanted 7k for it, it was a total shed so I walked away and bought an Audi A4
We have all been there. Back in the day I went and looked at an E30 M3 for sale at 5k. Bought a newer E36 325i convertible instead..... what a divvy
