The Ford Escort RS Cosworth is a rally version homologation special of the fifth generation European Ford Escort. It was designed to qualify as a Group A car for the World Rally Championship, in which it competed between 1993 and 1998. It was available as a road car from 1992 until 1996. The powertrain was only fitted to this version of the Escort, a longitudinally mounted Cosworth YBT, a highly tunable turbocharged 2.0 L (1,993 cc) with a bore x stroke of 90.8 mm × 77 mm (3.57 in × 3.03 in) Inline-four engine[1][2] which had an output of 227 PS (167 kW; 224 bhp) in standard trim. Tuning companies have achieved power outputs in excess of 1,000 bhp (746 kW; 1,014 PS)

[@theemaxheadroom7797]

very nice car adam,i love my fast fords!your escort is tasty!

[@spijkerc]

The font on that ford badge is completely different to the original, id stick an original one on for sure on a cossy

[@flat4-]

"It fitted like a primark Tshirt", we all had a moment of similarity with knockoff parts.... nice to see the Cossie come together....

[@GARAGESXERO]

nowt wrong with primark lol

[@MrDrift3887]

​@@GARAGESXEROyeah man nothing wrong with primani

[@brian623]

Warm it with a heat gun

[@chrisglover2133]

That Ford script on the badge looks different to the original - I’d go and buy a genuine one if I were you.

[@smoll.miniatures]

It’s stuff like this that makes me cringe. I’d rather a damaged original than some Chinese shit… fair enough to the guy but I’d be much more precious..

[@ReadySteady1]

Would not fit anything but oem parts to a car like this, but good to see it coming back to stock .

[@Charlton2010]

💯 mate, those Chinese after market parts look cheap and nasty and it takes away from that lovely Cosworth

[@nickrider5220]

Your misfire when the engine's hot could be a coil pack failing. Electrical faults often get worse with expansion due to heat - I'm a motorcycle nut myself, but love anything with an engine...besides, who doesn't love a Cosworth ❤ so I follow your channel 👍

[@sifromearth]

I was thinking the same Nick

[@Foxy_ST170]

Yeh I would say coil pack change , new fuel filter & a maf sensor

[@adventureswithham2223]

My money is on coil pack too, Older rs legacy’s do the same thing

[@mattkinsella9856]

Agreed, with older cars like this (which I'm going to keep) I change plugs, coil packs, leads, oil and fuel filters and cam belt (if not chain), regardless

[@LUZ-zv6pq]

Imagine when the old owner fitted the new splitter, clear bits and painted those indicators.. they probably stood back and thought wow this looks amazing now we have Adam taking it all off and thinking wow... Looks amazing 😃

[@cm-oo1td]

I'd definitely just buy a new bucket for washing the car instead of cleaning that one out 😮

[@sixcylinders6346]

I’m still wondering whether that was some sort of windup. I hope I’m right 🤔

[@Adam151082]

It cleaned and back in service 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@pauldyer2734]

😂

[@antonybailey8939]

Escort cosworths look better with the normal headlights in ,better than them double round lights .fishing line if you need to remove any more badges Adam ,love the cossie great video again mate 👍

[@pk93cov]

Nah morettes for the win

[@kells77]

Morrettes all the way

[@stilostan-the1st]

I agree, standard lights for me

[@ivanfernyhough3851]

Definatley needs standard headlights now to finish the front off.its coming up a treat now.

[@Speedscholars]

He has bought standard lights so they will go on I expect

[@danieldevlin8760]

It looks so much better with the orange indicators and clean side lights back in, keep up the work mate

[@speedbirdconcordeBOAB]

Exactly. Ford got it right. You can’t improve the look of a standard Escort Cosworth.

[@philcross1057]

I must’ve been asleep in maths when the measurement “a midges knacka” was discussed. Is it metric or imperial? 🤣

[@callyk5678]

Top tip, put a bin bag in the bucket. No clean up and just lift out cut the corner and empty back into the empty oil bottle 👍

[@justbreakingballs]

Top tip 2 have another 1.99 bucket for oil changes

[@EddInLancs01]

Great to see the Cossie coming together. Those little jobs make a big difference. 👍

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

Back in the 80's I was a massive petrol head, I was going North on the M6 and saw my very first Sierra Cosworth on the road it was in moonstone and on a 'D' plate, I think a little drop of wee wee came out of me too lol, it looked just fantastic, really enjoy your vids, actually there is an Escort Cossie in my neck of the woods it's white with white wheels don't know the year as it has a personalised plate on it, still looks good even all this time, all the best fella.👍👍👍👍

[@wayneellis5839]

Hi mate think the clear Indicators looked better but of your wanting to go stock, why by cheap parts from Ebay ? this is an iconic classic - car give it the love and attention.... done be cheap ( please don't take offence) .... But a great show mate thanks you for the content ... Wayne

[@trainingday391]

I love these videos of you opening packets and fitting stuff to your cars, Adam. Commentary so good and very funny (teeth in NE 😬cracked me up). Thank you from Huddersfield.

[@stuartleonard1775]

The stock look is definitely the best look. Standard headlights for me. The morette headlights look good with the wrc bumper but for a road car standard for me. Will be good to see if you can get the paint off the side lights to keep them original too. Good work pal👌

[@turbonick1979]

I fitted my own ramp too Adam then bumped into a ramp engineer at my mates mot centre who was willing to check it over and certify it just for peace of mind. I thought £120 was well worth the check just for my safety. He also lubricated everything and showed me where to for future reference well with it. Love your vids

[@ricochet243]

What a way to start a Baltic Sunday, great work, Adam.

[@mk2steve23]

Well done Adam looking much better. There's certainly been some crap repairs in the past. You'll get there mate 👍

[@DestroyerWill]

“A midgy’s knacker” killed me 😂 love from Dubai Marina, Dubai

[@davidh328]

Always look forward to the Cosworth vids 👍🏻

[@simonnorcliffe5877]

The escort is starting to look 😊 amazing 😊

[@Benharcombe]

Love the fact no matter what was done prior you fully sort it right first time around 👏👏

[@Benharcombe]

@@smithrx97 you realise his repair was decent 🫣🤦‍♂️ the an fitting works the same but seals itself if he replaced the anodised elbow instead of the union style and clamp 🤷‍♂️ it’s a non oem line anyway being metal braided

[@phire2000]

Looking well mate!!! Can't wait to see more!!!

[@solemods5991]

Great videos, Adam. Love the fact that the Cosy is coming together with just a few small fixes here and there. Don't forget, when removing anything that is stuck, heat up the adhesive with a hairdryer, it will make the glue a lot softer and easier to pull off 👍🤜🤛

[@dannyconway2612]

Loving these videos, it's always the 2 minute jobs that become a right pain.😅

[@Anto-du7br]

I love the clear indicator lenses... It's was the first mod I done on my Mercedes Benz 190E cosworth

[@user-pc9rv9th4d]

I look forward to seeing your videos Adam. All the best 👍

[@Steve-uf8pk]

Great to speak to you early Saturday morning at the NEC a few weeks ago👍 keep up the videos and great channel………everyone’s favourite “have a go hero”

[@Adam151082]

You to Steve. Thanks for the comment 😊👍🏼

[@davidewing5391]

Car is coming along very well, you sure can find all the hard to get pieces 👍

[@mattyb2353]

Great to see the progress on this Ad, my tip would be to grab a heat gun and plastic blades for removing badges etc, i could barely watch when you was using a metal blade and copper wire haha

[@lewiswilcock1]

Would personally buy another front Ford badge as the slight difference in font compared to the original would bug me🧐

[@justbreakingballs]

Just buy a genuine one not an eBay spesh, surely they still sell them maybe not?

[@Charlton2010]

Same with those side repeaters, I mean if you’re having to use air grinders to get them to fit in then they’re definitely not worth using

[@pauldyer2734]

Good stuff, getting back to its former glory 👌

[@mickyhamer1300]

Love the holiday video playing in the background.....hairdryer heats the glue to remove the badge.

[@nickegan3988]

Loving this series. Would love to see some standard headlights and wheels go on

[@Adam151082]

Sorry Nick, Ive bought some new wheels, theyre not standard

[@StephenH-ms9og]

Rondells? Them and the remade 18 inch version of the standard wheel are my favourite. @@Adam151082

[@djemmay]

@@Adam151082Compomotives?

[@LSD04]

Rondell 122’s 👌🏻

[@tdoteva4973]

​@Adam151082 we need other cars reviews like what u was doing b4 u get the cossie

[@torepedersen4056]

Adam : "I do have the foglights in ehhmm the kitchen". Proper car guy :) Please use soapy water / universal clean spray as lubrication when using the wire to remove the Ford badge. Goes a lot more smooth :)

[@smoggydrones5664]

Did I miss you fixing the misfire ? Love the lingo premark etc love it. Coming together nicely

[@1978JonBullock]

Adam i would definitely try some paint stripper on the original side repeaters because if you could get them back they would be worth saving. The corners on the splitter you could use mud flap clamps to hold them down. So glad you have started to turn it back to original spec mate. They look so much better standard. Great video mate.

[@justbreakingballs]

They will have been keyed up before painting so likely ruined.

[@michaelmason5459]

Some plastics don't take kindly to paint stripper chemicals, try it on back first.

[@paulpalmer8235]

A good idea adam is to send the old oil from the ESCOS for a Millers oil analysis- perfect time to do it - will give you a good idea of the condition of the engine etc

[@peternufc1981]

Looks way better mate . Great content

[@scrakymtb3495]

Brilliant video Adam the car is looking awesome. 👌

[@sc2320]

she’s getting there now kidd 💯💪🏻

[@callumthomas653]

It’s worth noteing keep checking the bulb holders on ya side lights I did same on mk5 van and the bulb melted the plastic surrounds on both sets

[@skodakatie7341]

This car is looking great now, and more factory❤.

[@richrowley8355]

Looks awesome mate. I'd be tempted to put a couple of nyloc nuts on that splitter or some spring washers, if you haven't already

[@butterfliesandtape]

Definitely like the twin lamps and rs500 grilles with the ambers 100% 💯

[@aggie3344]

Great work again coming along nicely👌🏼 Made me laugh when you mentioned the dental floss😂

[@richardgavagan3503]

Looks loads better with the original lights back on makes the car mint

[@A4ANT]

No wonder it was glued in. It’s soo easy to take off

[@paulriggers1558]

2 lessons from today, 1, don't buy your t-shirt from primark 2, don't buy tat off ebay your turbo thanks you for some fresh oil to actually work properly with you have your own ramp now, why get bert to do your brakes ? keep them coming young man

[@Jelly_Tots]

Escort keeps fighting back, nice to see is slowly converting to the car it use to be...

[@user-wx2si5ql1g]

Looks way better do your self a favour change that timing belt asap

[@Mytee1]

Smashing it mate ❤

[@butterfliesandtape]

Easy and satisfying to restore original front badge as well pal. Live the colour still. Lucky bigger ❤😂

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Another great video on the channel well done 👍👍👍

[@ChloeReads13]

Lovely car! Always wanted one of these In Mallard Green 👌🏻

[@Thailandescapades]

Another great instalment Adam

[@jasonharryphotog]

Coming together nicely

[@robertlloyd7493]

Great work Adam 👍

[@paulthompson5416]

Adam use a mudflap c-clamp to hold the splitter at the corners 👍🏼

[@davethevicar88]

Love it man

[@Andy-fordman]

Love the videos Adam, I’m the same spirted amateur that likes to do most things on my Esc cos myself, couple of things after the work you’ve done to the paint get a proper was bucket with a grit gaurd and chuck away the tile grouting sponge and get a proper mit. Also and I stand to be corrected 10-60w is a little heavy for a standard engine, I’ve always been led to believe 10-60w is suited to track and heavily modified engines for road and standard 10-50w is more suited, keep you the good work 👍

[@simonnorcliffe5877]

Love your videos Adam 😊

[@STEPHEN-or4lw]

I'm enjoying watching this,funny too❤

[@Jase73]

Adam get yourself a battery ratchet mate. They’re a god send in the motor trade. 👍👍

[@SaucyBegger25]

I’ve just fitted the newest style zafira b grill to my car with the new style badge. So I’ve had to fit the new style badge to the boot to match. Needed some new tyres so just went out and bought some refurbished 18” penta wheel and fitted them. Even the missus is impressed with the upgrades. It’s the little things Adam that make a big difference I’ll sell my 17” 5 spoke standard Sri alloys. Get a bit of money back. Hopefully

[@rushGreeny]

stunning mate

[@ianparker3486]

Car’s looking great mate

[@anthonymoore8515]

Looking loads better adam 🔥

[@richardjones7036]

Looks so much better pal

[@johnbarr09]

Cossie is coming together nicely now Adam as for the misfire id replace the coil packs or the maf sensor

[@iansmotor-world9174]

Morning Adam was nice chat at the NEC the other week 👍🏼 Maybe as the cars not been used for years as a service job to replace coil packs & leads also !anything can brake down over time . Ian & Justin Ford M-techs Bristol 👍🏼

[@Finished575]

Great vid adam

[@alexirving1251]

Looking good Adam, do like the factory look if I'm honest, looks how it was intended to look, on that note, it would be lovely to see it back on an original set of wheels, I know it's a personal choice, as is everthing, but it would look good😊

[@rstraynor]

First spark plug is fucked😂

[@alandonnelly9788]

That made me laugh so much Adam bout the tooth floss the car is looking so much better keep it up mate 👍 👏

[@northernvoice7288]

A spark plug should not be nice n black this indicates too much carbon deposits (possible mixture issue) or other issue. Spark plug should be dark brown ideally

[@adamweston4152]

You are totally right about this, a good running engine would have a beige colour on the spark plugs or as you described a sandy colour.

[@taylorsturgess9426]

Looking realy good adam I think a set of 17" auto star cossie style wheels would make the car

[@scottanderson9361]

Looking mint pal

[@jamiebourne8047]

That floss statement killed me😂. Use a tek screw on end of front splitter 👍

[@fantasticplastic5336]

For catching the oil Adam, there is catch can trolly on the market you can get there about £80.

[@MarksManCave]

Hi had to do exactly the same with the repro sidelights

[@FZERO20]

Makes me wanna work on my 09’ GLI I just bought. Needs so many maintenance services to get it where I want it. Just gotta save up the money and take my time

[@TheGaryprice]

Looks loads better that dnt it👌🏻

[@TheHumanSteroid]

Looks mint

[@cogboy302]

Try letting the painted indicators soak in a container of brake fluid. It may well remove the paint. I've also had success stripping paint using washing tablets/gel capsules. Takes a while, but was very effective.

[@user-io3vx5zm7s]

stunning

[@cosworthmick1837]

Looking good 👍🏻

[@johnnysurr]

The copper wire was a good idea adam for removing the badge 👌

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Back in my Max Power boyracer days it was considered cool to have as much of the car colour coded as possible to the paintwork and also have clear indicators overly ugly orange. However as this car is now a 'Classic' hothatch i think it makes sense to go back to factory fit styling with the indicators. However the morette twin headlight conversion is lovely, id take that over stock anyday.

[@TezlaByte]

Great to follow your videoes! I also have the original splitter/spoiler, but I think I'll only keep the top part fitted. It needs a bit work and I don't have the hockey sticks yet :|

[@redlineste4283]

Still my hero car. Keep original as much as possible. I'd put the fogs back in too and totally agree with the orange indicators and side lights. I do love the twin headlights though. Monte carlo rims would look the business.

[@mickythompson4866]

Don’t forget, add a touch of Copper Slip to the spark threads

[@damiengunit9788]

Epic respect GGG-unit !!! 😎😎😎😎😎

[@mrlionrocks]

Never use that sponge again after it touches the floor Grit n paint don't mix 😢 Great progress on the car lad 👍🏻

[@sugar4522]

I’d get rid of the morettes Adam, never thought they suited the escos

[@barrynorth4814]

Escos is Looking good now pal 👌 I would be interested in the old sidelights if you sell them

[@pauljepson16]

Hi Adam have you looked at changing the coil packs and leads , cars coming together though mate looks great 👍

[@jayhow997]

Is that a Bailey's dump valve. Check that it's sealing properly at idle as it could be the cause of the lumpy idle.
