This guy needs his own youtube chanel lol 10/10 video

I’ve not got much money as I work for minimum wage and can barely afford to pay my bills and provide food for my family but I’ve left you a donation on your PayPal as your going through a bad time Adam.

BTW - Caterham use the Cosworth rear Brake Caliper. When the supply of new Caliper ran out, they had them remanufactured, so they may be a good source if yours are too far gone

I would say you’d have to be absolutely mad to reshell one of these, but then leaving it parked in a dodgy garage for 25 years is also not a conventional way to go either, but at least it’s something different to watch.

Rare breed that man what a legend 👌🏾👊🏾💙

Worked for Ford as an RS tech back in the late eighties early nineties reshelled a number of RS500s and RS sapphires along with RS Turbos due to accident damage none of them were on the register for being written off, still see some of the cars at the shows to this day and I wonder if the current owners know the unrecorded history, just don't want to burst their bubbles when speaking to them

Croud fund anyone? seen it before for true car lovers.

Kin ell fella! so sad for you but your life is yours. Hope you build yourself up again and get get happy! :-)

That engine makes 180bhp without a supercharger.

Gloucestershire registered cossie too. 👍

😂😂😂😂😂😂

What language are they speaking🤭

if it was mine I would just weld the most important structural bits get it running sweet and drive the fuck out of it, there's other showroom nick rs500s out there so I would be very happy if mine was a ratty runner

Did you try starting the video with a Ted Roger’s 3-2-1 hand gesture?

A lot of these cars were reshelled When almost new. Not because of rust because they were to new but damaged In accidents. It was a lot cheaper then for insurance company’s just to reshell the cars. This is a good idea tho reshell because the shell is an original Ford. So yes it’s still basically original.

Absolute skills. This kind of build seems to be a dying art, well done to him, there's a hell of a lot of work in that car.

Purist snobs at car shows turning their nose up at this quite obvs don’t have a 10th of this guys skills!

It's opened my eyes about a reshell. I didn't know that you could stamp your cars number onto a blank canvas. I'm all for it. What a nice feeling to be driving round in a mint patch free/ rust/ filler ect 💯 solid 👌

not fancy putting any of the lads details in the description?

power to weight ratio eck xD, that turbo tune also.. peak boost xD

be interesting what that whole job cost?

This is what u call craftsmanship he is a very talented man. Defiantly a built not bought car 🔥

I am actually overwhelmed

Man love the MK1 Escort ❤❤❤❤❤ impressive conversion.. what a talented guy.. Pete

Beautiful man wow.. my dad and family used to be a Vauxhall dealers I remember driving these when they were new out and the calibra turbo lol lots of others GSi3000, lotus Carlton etc 😊❤ one of my first cars was a mk1 Astra GTE in white 😊❤❤ Pete

Wow what a great vid dude you made an excellent job of this 😊 first vid I’ve watched of yours subscribed 👍 Pete

758 bhp!!!! To 850bhp!!!! Feckin ell

How much to have a go? Just a lap?

Still looks shite

Did you end up putting a new shell on it ?

Can you send the original shell to me? If its scrap, ill put it back together, and document it all for my chanel.

THEY SAY MARRIAGE IS LIKE A TORNADO, IT STARTS WITH LOTS OF SUCKING AND BLOWING , THEN YOU LOSE YOUR HOUSE.

This is my dad ❤️

Just wow. Fair play boys . Love it ❤❤❤

What an epic build and a total gent. Loved this one.

You spoke to me, Micheal and Dave in the pub on Friday. I genuinly feel for you. They're more car mad than I am, and we're all 61 years of age. Keep your chin up as I'm sure you are just going through one of life's cruel interuptions. Onwards and upwards soon hopefully!

Good to see the mk1 in a different way .a very talented engineer. Well done its a marvel

Did he say how much it cost ?

Best on channel yet for me

Unbelievable, what a guy

Notice Paul's blow up doll by the RS2000 so you can jizz over that instead of the car! 🤣

I've just seen the biggest Snap on roll cabinet! 😂 Paul's workshop is immaculate, And it just reflect's his skill and professionalism, I could eat a full English brekkie off of his floor! 👍

Learn how to speak english for god´s ache. Firsty it seemed you know a little bit, but then the other guy appeared and you both suddenly started speaking some nasty gibbrish so my interest to watch dropped somewhere in basement...maybe hire some jamaican or indian as narrator to make it a little bit more manageable...

Well done that man! The car also sounds good without overwhelming the car.

What a legend, what a car… hand built from three different donor cars is a phenomenal achievement and no wonder his daughters are so proud. Great video Adam!

Obviously.

And there's me thinking the GT1600 crossflow with DGV carb was the dogs blocks for an Escort. 😁

Sorry to hear that mate

that's a great car. simples

What a lovely guy 😃
