I wish I had a 3 door, I could spend hours just sitting and looking at it in the garage they are so pleasing on the eye!

[@joski9030]

Love them dads mate had a sapphire and and escort cossy I’ll never forget being a passenger as a kid .. mind blown

[@Paul-cf9op]

Adam, Stevie wonder has just called to say your front plates pissed. He’s just letting you know how much he cares from the bottom of his heart. Can you sort this out for him please. Thank you in advance.

[@LUZ-zv6pq]

We all know Stevie Wonder can really see..

[@DasArab]

Adam Everyone knew about Avocados in the 70's, ask your parents what colour their bathroom was lol.

[@philipbales4921]

Hey Adam Smith you were one of the lucky ones and bought at the right time....every car enthusiasts dream car ...👍

[@andrewbranford2032]

Video on fixing the clocks next.does the Speedo and rev counter not work?

[@brianjames5685]

lol, great intro. I don't think I'm gender fluid but I did accidently pee on my mate once when I was drunk. He didn't wake up like and all the next day at work he thought he'd peed himself. I bought my xr2 back in 1994 for 800 quid and sold it 2 years later, just under 60,000 miles, for 850 quid. I've forgot loads of stuff from back then and I'm hoping that I forget that at some point, I don't want to say what I saw an identical one to mine going for last year. Anyway onwards and upwards eh love your channel Adam your cars are awesome dude.

[@steveng5503]

You’ll certainly not blend in driving this one. Happy days… enjoy your ice cream. Think you’ve earned that. 😁👍🏻

[@skodakatie7341]

This car looks great Adam, I like the dealer registration plates, they add that touch of originality, I really don’t like to see classic cars with new style font on the registration plates, they just don’t look right. Great video, as always❤.

[@rallyekev]

That power steering pump looks exactly like the ones used on older VW’s, I wonder if they were a pretty universal design back then. It may be worth considering if anyone needs one for a cossie.

[@fatwalletboy2]

And fiat too by the looks.

[@Adam151082]

I imagine they where used on loads of different cars Kev 👍🏼

[@djones7466]

Good vid. I would had used plates stickers to fix them. No screws 😁. Looks neater 😁

[@beachamgroup2482]

Bleach you need to clean the resevour. Will come up nice and white but rinse well

[@graemebeveridge5111]

Adam, your ramps needing the cable tension adjusted. Safety locks should click at the same time on its way up. Easy done! 👍

[@urbanjentry222]

Also another point when the ramp was fitted was the base reinforced

[@SimonHarvey-i4z]

Now sort non working speedo and rpm gauges and leaking front main seal 😊😊😊PS how not 2 fit NO.plates by Adam mole,

[@Charlton2010]

Why what was wrong with the way he fitted his number plates like?

[@SimonHarvey-i4z]

@@Charlton2010 Front one wasn't on straight and u should ALWAYS drill plates on a flat surface NOT yer legs as they can crack such a BEAUTIFUL car deserves perfection!!😊😊

[@A6RXN]

For the rear left screw, put the yellow one on then use a permanent marker to colour the little bit that’s on the 6,will be perfect then!

[@johng7304]

Thought Adam would have done this already. He usually has an eye for detail and perfection.

[@Adam151082]

I don't think it would look very good. I would rather just have a solid colour

[@A6RXN]

@@Adam151082 done properly it’s a peach fella👌🏻 give it a shot, at worst you’ve wasted a yellow cap🤞🏻

[@johng7304]

@@Adam151082 would look better in solid yellow than the solid black then. But each to his own.

[@Paul-cf9op]

Did you put that front plate on straight 🤪😂

[@jake15470]

I never knew this of yours has the 500 block 😮

[@Adam151082]

I only found out when I started looking at Paul’s cars.

[@tomhope4613]

Noticed the speedo and rev counter weren’t working when you drove it……..

[@SteveButler-km5fg]

Cars are looking really great Adam just hope we get a good summer so you can use them 👍

[@brendanburke6138]

Great work Adam. Just a bit concerned with the rear wheel arc ref. 17:45, looks to be coming away from the body work.

[@popeye9048]

Gunk engine degreaser is good stuff for cleaning.

[@bnew275]

Your three door is a very nice car Adam 👌🏼

[@mortenvinding]

Is it me or does the rev counter and speedometer not working ?

[@Adam151082]

Nah. Needs fixing aswell 🙈

[@alandonnelly9788]

Another great job adam well done ow by the way I love the gold butterfly on your hand stunning 😂😂

[@Adam151082]

That’s my daughters decorations 😂

[@markw7997]

Bogs dollocks your videos Adam , love your accent and your content , keep up the good work.

[@keithramsay3340]

Adam if the lift concerns you that much buy a couple of builders acros to support the lift arms just for safety, but really when that lifts in the air its not going anywhere

[@b10xtn]

Used to work at Quicks ford. Which dealer is it from? Quicks had dealers in Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Generally Greater Manchester areas.

[@david1519]

You need to get your speedo and rev counter fixed lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnpells5992]

A lovely 3dr that , glad it got the love 5.k in 2004 😂wish I had bought one then 🤔t

[@iaintalbot5909]

Hey, it’s fantastic to see and hear your enthusiasm for the 3 door again, I have got two project cars on the go at the moment, but I’m ashamed to admit that the one that I have owned since 2006 and I have spent more blood sweat and lots of tears for it is my Nova Sport which is an Irmscher UK special Edition that was limited to only 500 sports being built in 1985; there is not that many left these days (approximately 30-35) but I have not given it any attention since 2019 and it’s still on axle stands as I had to replace the drive shaft oil seal about a week before attending the VBOA rally that July but it wasn’t too be and I have spent more time in and on my Astra VXR Nurburgring as it’s been my daily driver, But You Adam have given me the wake up call to get back to the nova again and doing the small or relatively quick jobs on it is the best way to get back into it again, thank you mate, take care fella 👍

[@chubbychubs4636]

I would have used a couple of drops of glue to glue that trim back. Im a bit lazy.

[@butterfliesandtape]

hi adam, hope that trim tape is 3M, otherwise you'll be dong that job again in another 6 months...! nnice looking foz there at your detailers. Miss mine still.....

[@scott2495]

May as well of sorn'd it instead of wasting dough on tax and insurance

[@topcat01]

Adam's not Adam if he doesn't spill some kind of fluid all over the floor

[@andymurdoch1346]

You can buy an aerosol of adhesive removal called Chu-sol. My local paint shop sell it. I use for number plate tape. Toffee wheel is too abrasive.

[@mick0846]

Exactly the same as my mx5 im convinced that there's something up? But keep getting told that its normal. It feels smooth but far to heavy

[@jeffshaw4553]

Well done Adam good to see done work done on the Sierra cossi abd the right amount of uggy duggies 😂😂looks amazing now it’s been detailed 👍🏽🥂

[@DW-dd4iw]

Power steering? I never realised the Cosworth was so luxurious!

[@Adam151082]

Electric windows aswell 😮👌🏼

[@turquoisetortoise3789]

looks fantastic!

[@SuperDickiedavies]

I’m triggered by your front plate being pissed lol. You’ll fix it by elongating the holes in opposite directions.

[@steverecka375]

You need to Straighten the front number plate looked wonky

[@iamyourfuture808]

Why dont you face the camera dude? looks a bit odd you talking to the side!?? The plates look mint BTW !

[@MarkDunn-fx4dg]

another great video adam... i am sure i am not the only one but your clocks don't seem to be working 😬

[@Hendaz89]

Do a tamiya rc version of your escort cosworth like you did with the Sierra that would be class great videos keep them coming

[@jasonwinton8033]

Love this channel I'm driving a puma st 170 auto think your viewers would love to see a review on this car no one is reviewing this car enough contact me if you want to drive it big man all the best

[@nathanhewitt3920]

No speedo or rev counter working in the 3dr too?

[@bristol2002]

pity you let the sapphire go she was a very clean example the escort is on par too and you need a 3 door cossey in your life if you can for me a love the 4x4 sapphire that lille bit more probably because i came of age in the 90s not 80s .

[@bespincustompropsbombarta8300]

Hmm for some reason I have this memory from the release of the Sapphire Cosworth that the steering was heavier on the older 3 doors 🤔

[@msjcars2317]

Got to say Adam - your a very very clever Man - great skills and knowledge

[@mrperfect1000.]

Adam the black insert trim is squint and are you on the puff front number plate is miles off. lol

[@Kk18739]

Stop assuming my gender and fix that instrument cluster.

[@urbanjentry222]

Not sure if it’s allowed to advertise vapes on socials hopefully you are safe with this promotion

[@BrewsAndMk2s]

Adam you really need to get over your lift fear!.. its far safer than axle stands and jake.

💪🏽🇬🇧👍🏽

[@-FOOD-FOOD-]

why isn’t your speedometer working???

[@LUZ-zv6pq]

White vinegar in the bottle... Fum need to drop their prices very greedy

14:19 oh my 👌🏼 😍

[@MichaelWard-u7v]

Dident have you down as being a spoker adam or is it justvfor the adds

[@35deedub]

you should of stuck the plates on....looks much better!

[@Gmh6477]

No speedo or rev counter…. Fits number plates instead 😂

[@plentygood422]

What’s going on pal why the rush to move everything ok ?

[@Antonymorris1.6]

You bought at a good time .ur misses must love u u dint wash up the pots just ur car parts lol

[@zeb3144]

For effective cleaning, try using an ultrasonic cleaner. They're really good at removing old muck but be careful because they're also good at removing paint if your not careful. Best additive to mix in the water i've found is lemon juice-what you put on your pancakes.

[@glock22357]

No one.....and I mean NO ONE, on God's green earth, puts f*$king lemon juice on their pancakes. That's absolutely f@&king disgusting, and you should feel bad for even suggesting that.

[@johnbevan7157]

Absolutely stunning car 😎

[@Spannerface]

curious why you didnt stick the plates on.

[@hlhracing3756]

Good to see it back out and you enjoying it 👍🏻

[@sats7819]

That looks like a mk2 golf gti pump!

[@DanielBall]

Removing double sided tape on car trims had to be one of the worst jobs. You made it look easy though 😊

[@honda4185]

Sierra looks so much better than Escort!! Great video and well done.

[@manbeastrongman]

Agree ❤

[@DaveStevis]

Front number plates been in the pub

[@Thailandescapades]

Quality Adam but you cracked up with the summer days …. In the Uk 🤣🤣

[@iLouieTube]

Before weirdos were running round with green and purple hair identifying as they,them,iz, none binary cat fairys there were normalish people with good looking ford cosworths.

[@MrSplcrazy]

So many of those normal people have jumped on the band wagon with it though. I guess it just shows how most will just go with the majority and obey orders.

[@pauldraycott4803]

About time you sorted that 3dr out........😊😊It's a fantastic looking car and helped rocket you to fame.😉😉

[@craigorford9932]

Ayy up,Adam, you are one lucky guy I would love 2 Cosworth’s my Garage.Keep these vlogs coming love watching them

[@jonathanrowley8572]

What an intro 😂

[@MT-kx2uc]

Gammontastic it was

[@deanharriss2029]

That genuine Ford jubilee clip is probably worth 2 grand. Great video as always Adam.

[@SkipperMacky]

I know it's horses for courses.. but that Sapphire mate.. damn that was a beautiful car. I crashed one at 16.. not my finest moment 🤦‍♂️

[@mex8961]

Fromt plate is definitely on the piss

[@iLouieTube]

I have a 1995 toyota trueno gtz an my steering has gone heavy I've changed the fluid 2 times made alittle difference at first but it's come back again, noticed before the first change the fuid was really dirty possible worn seals on pump or rack, I may have to send my pump off for refurbishment, its a nightmare job on my 4agze no room keep putting it off 😢

[@AndrewSmith-gu3yf]

Sierra every day of the week

[@Charlton2010]

Just something I noticed Adam, I know belts do fray no matter what but looks like the oil return pipe from the steering pump to the rack is touching the steering pump belt which would obviously make it fray again.

[@SKINNIMANG]

Not taking anything away from your Cossie Adam, but that Fozzie behind it is lush 💯👍❤

[@R55LSD]

Can't believe you're STILL scared of getting under that lift man! 🤣

[@thescoreboard8930]

Loving the new tattoos mate.

[@iaintalbot5909]

A good way to remove the old sticky tape residue and it will also melt the foam and make the glue so soft that you can just use a microfibre cloth with more Liquid Lighter Fluid on it and reduces the chances of damaging the paint work under it, I have been using “Swan” or “clipper” Zippo lighter fluid for years now to get the foam and glue off car bits and it’s also good at removing oil or grease from the interior fabric without damaging the material or foam under the fabric especially on the Older Recaro Seats that it’s impossible to find a replacement one or the material to get it re- trimmed again, it’s also a lot cheaper than panel wipe and it’s will also do a better job as well, but it’s always worth a try and have a can of it in the toolbox for any emergency’s 👍

[@sats7819]

Nooo dont drill the plates 😥😥

[@maverick4177]

Ah perfect timing 😂 just taking a break from rebuilding my set of BBS RS wheels 😎👍🏻

[@bigsteviesri]

Addams love the videos what's the tool rack u have it was behind u as I put the front plate on is it home made as far as detailing Ur cars I use soft 99 fuso coat last s a year well on mine does daily and works van good stuff apply then buff off after 5 mins. Hope u get a garage the same in your new house I'm choking for the same.

[@lcb1978]

Can’t decide which of your cars I prefer! The Sierra looking spotless at the end might be edging ahead 😍

[@danhavard9205]

Rev counter is more important than anything you're messing about with...

[@SkipperMacky]

Don't worry about your lift.. it would need an immediate catastrophic leak if it was to GO go

[@charliepayy]

13:13 that tape from halfords is magic, when i worked there we used to use it to stick number plates on... used it on my own Mx5 and i can lift the whole bumper with just the plate !

[@mikeywyatt]

Was the car originally sold from Quicks in Chester?

[@suzukibanditrider8318]

When you took the car for a test drive your speedo and rev counter wasn’t doing anything or am I missing something 😅

[@garybocking4541]

you;re about the 4th person to mention it :)
