[@Funky_Geek]

Nice upload, this channel is my desert to Matt Armstrong’s channel. I don’t bother following any other motoring channels now 👍🏻

[@EVILGT]

I think there’s a compliment in there somewhere 🤣 thanks mate 👍🏼

[@ektrolleyboy]

Should it not have been white underneath? Or was it always black? I know Ford’s are shite rust-buckets. But I wonder where this car spent most of its life? Somewhere wet! I suspect.

[@EVILGT]

Thought it’d look tidier black mate 👍🏼

[@FPV-TV419]

This is a hard comment to make as i love your channel and the work youve put in to the focus is unreal... but matt black raptor paint would have looked factory on the underside. Looks like its been lathered in wax oil.... 😢. Dont hate me 🙈.. probably get slated for saying this 😂

[@EVILGT]

In fairness, factory would have been a rust brown paint 🤣👌🏼

[@FPV-TV419]

@EVILGT 😄... sorry man, felt bad for giving a negative. Doesn't stop me watching, content is great!

[@Ginger1-1980]

Ben and Ash becoming a good team. I'm liking his Astra can we get summit going with that big turbo build 😁

[@EVILGT]

It’s not his unfortunately. He sold it to his mate a while ago 😢

[@Ginger1-1980]

@@EVILGT shame those old Skool builds were mad

[@stephencooper3067]

Iv'e got a plain ol 1.6 focus and its interesting watching this series to see what is different and the same between the two models. Dropped the rear subframe to replace all the arms and had a hell of a time too. This was on the drive which didn't help, had to chop all the old bolts off with grinder as all the bushes had siezed. Had same issue too lining up the trailing arms after pressing the new bushes in, ended up using a ratchet strap from the from subframe to pull the arm forward enough. Real PITA! Good series of videos, never owned a fast ford (or fast anything for that matter). After watching so far i think it'll stay that way!

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

6:29 not going to lie it’s as good as a mk1 ford escort underneath, covered in hammerite paint in need of a restoration. Sorry boys but it’s hard to ignore it. I would have just spray painted the wheel arches white.

[@EVILGT]

As I mentioned in the previous video. At 146,000 miles it’s not the right car to be doing a full nut and bolt restoration. We’ve done the best with what we had without spending way more money than the cars worth. I never claimed it was perfect but it’s definitely miles better 👍🏼

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

It’s actually turning out alright getting to the end of the video and Iv just seen you fit the wheel arch liners back in so yeah, I guess no point paint in white to be honest. ❤❤ keep it up mate you doing well.

[@AlientecMechanix]

Hi, what for bearings you have ordered? Ford will give me only the complete suspension part...

[@alangodfrey6592]

Has Ash taken over from Lee now then Ben

[@EVILGT]

Looks like that but isn’t like that if that makes any sense 🤣🤷🏼‍♂️

[@johnner2002]

Your doing a great job with the cars. 1 thing to mention though is the front wheel bearings on a focus have a special tool to press them in because you cant press on the hub they way you have in the vid as it puts pressure on the bearing and fcuks it. If you google it you should see what i mean. I know as i work in a garage and have pressed them in without the tool and a couple of months later they come back with knackered bearings again haha.

[@vinnie5519]

So allways buy the best tools you can afford... Good tools are expensive for a reason... Halfords all the way 😅

[@jameskearney7646]

Get ash to do some Vauxhall donuts and burn outs evil gt

great work lads, its so annoying when you put something back together the realise youve done something wrong and have to take it apart again😥 the rs has come such a long way, by ash 😂👍😀

Hey! 👀 he’s been there occasionally 🤣

[@grimm_gen]

Just noticed, the rear shocks are exactly the same as a 2012 mazda 3!

[@EVILGT]

Mazda 3 and Volvo C30 too I believe mate yeah. A lot of parts shared

[@martinknight510]

Also, stick a screwdriver in the disk and rest against the caliper to do up the disk bolts 👌

Get the best tools you can afford 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@robbie74able]

hes one angry guy you don't wanna mess with lol

[@eQuASiANXane]

Go on lad propa getting down and dirty. Literally just ordered maself a press to bang in the shed too! Cant wait. One thing though Ben, please get a torque wrench lets get some clicks going. Also get a compressor and get on to Vixen Surface treatments. M539 Restorations has one and they're UK based and do sick cleaning stuff to sort car parts out.

[@EVILGT]

I’ve been looking into this mate yeah 👍🏼

Benji your proper legend ...Can't believe how handy your getting on the tools....You'll be attempting Matt Armstrong level car rebuilds soon...And you'll be at a million subs.

[@EVILGT]

I’m not sure I have the patience for that sort of stuff. 🤣 thanks mate 👍🏼

[@500bht]

No press needed to take old bearings out. Just run a bead of mig weld round the bearing then it will just fall out.. Use your brain....

[@EVILGT]

Are you a welder? I don’t have a welder and never even used one so even if I knew that I wouldn’t have a clue how to weld 🤷🏼‍♂️ can you weld them back in or would I need a press for that?… hmmm… probably makes sense to get a press then I suppose. Use your brain 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@scoobgirl]

See ya later Ash 🤣

[@boabm6522]

Is this getting raffled????? Take wheels and springs off then jack hub up to ride height then tighten all arms etc

[@EVILGT]

Probably at the rate it’s costing 🤦🏼‍♂️
