Frank Kelly - MASSIVE CRASH & Rebuild (2016)

[@derekth71]

It's the rare moments like these that make all the time you guys put into safety features pay off. It's good to see you both got to walk away and race another day. 👍

[@jarethclark2470]

There is a lot of skill and dedication on show here. You are a wonder Frank, and you must have an amazing team backing you up.

[@donfinch862]

I honestly thought that would be a re-shell. Shows what the roll cage can do. Well done mate

[@ToreDL87]

Re-shell is for **ssies!

[@jimny4k]

Awesome rebuild....and those graphics.....Whoa!

[@alexday5892]

Frank’s driving is outstanding and all due to amazing pace notes but let’s just take a moment to give respect to the team who worked hard to get Baby Blue back to her original shape. Fantastic work and goes to show that nothing is impossible. Great job team. Let me know if you are ever in Oz. Would love to come and support you.

[@phillipquayle5184]

Frank you are a true legend. Between your driving skills and how you know your way around the escort. Hopefully see you out in NI, when they lift the lockdown.

[@markturnbull1746]

Bring tear to glass eye see the state of that escort glad you were both safe and we'll sure happy to see that beautiful escort back on the road.

[@runerides8762]

You guys are absolute legends!

[@jimmyeastwoodjonnyfleeeast1578]

Double crest jump Ok, (blind) , flat into it for 350 m . Glad you both ok after that and like a legend rebuilt into new shell. Baby Blue lived on . Keep up the great work you Mob. Love you

[@mattn6368]

If you never crash, you're probably not pushing hard enough to be the best. The most important thing is to regroup, rebuild and get back out there again as quickly as possible!

[@ryan_oneill7372]

Jaysus that was a big roll, the rebuild turned out great

[@madfrank7972]

Glad your both ok, & the awesome mk2 has been rebuilt 👍

[@DjNikGnashers]

Really inspirational video, showing how we can pull things back from a disaster. I can only imagine the hours of work that went into rebuilding that shell. Only gripe was the music, I had to mute it, because it was awful. Great job though, and look forward to seeing the car back doing what it does best with you behind the wheel.

[@rallyburnzsimracing8571]

Really enjoyed the video...I have seen baby blue,many times on Irish rally stages...great to see her still going...I hope to see her again on Irish tarmac in the future!!!!

[@marceloricci2836]

Tanta roba, grande pilota, mi dispiace, tu e Diana siete il rally , grazie x farci divertire, Forza Kelly!!!!

[@VentoVr61987]

The panes are not broken, so you can see again what such a cage can withstand! Great result turned out really cool! 👌🏼

[@chris_gibson_superstar]

Great video, we all know there was a thousand hours and late nights. Respect mate

[@memofrf]

First crash in my mk2 . Eight days after getting my licence. Used a lamppost and a chain to get her straightish. Good times.

[@paulp96275]

Both safe that’s all that matters now get back out there and ring it’s neck nice work lads 👍👨🏻‍🏭

[@dannycurtis1744]

Awsome rebuild 👍

[@geecars6263]

“Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic Escort. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."

[@FrankKellyRallying]

Hopefully not cost 6 Million dollars 😂

[@clayp.e30_v86]

Bloody hell that's incredible you were able to rebuild that 🧐😳😳 Fair play I'm more than impressed

[@gaz10182]

[@driver46]

You really made shortest Escort in 3s but great to see you both were alright and amazing rebuild done so good it looks better than before . Looking forward for new pedal to the metal vidoes , cheers.

[@dailittle6980]

Drive her straight sideways lad!! Top driver top car!! Glad she’s gonna be mad for tar again!! Amazing rebuild by you keep safe and I know you’ll keep her litt👌👌

[@darvell277x]

This reminds me of my dads mate who races a mk2 escort at hednesford raceway. He crashed and rebuilt it, now it’s looks even more class

[@MeatSim5]

poor baby blue! makes me wanna cry

[@JasonSmith-nv6qz]

Heartbreak to big smile in 4 minutes. Your a legend frank.

[@markmezo]

I may be wrong? but it never even cracked the screen did it? i thought at first that was a total but when you go & look at the vid the main part of the car is straight as a die, testament to the strength of that cage (and a bit of luck as well i guess) nice job.

[@FrankKellyRallying]

Well spotted. Front end and rear end got the brunt of it. No roof or cage damage.

[@sensiblemark1974]

Go you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Crazy crazy man Big fan of your work Would love to go in that car with you for a blast on the north coast road on a nice sunny afternoon strictly sticking to the speed limits of course 👌🏻

[@CaptainKrimson]

Accident took no time at all, the result took a lot of effort and time! (efFord?)

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

Is there any _Rebuild_ video?

[@ppercut]

how many times has it been rebuilt

[@Stickleback]

If it`s metal, it can be cut and welded up again, nice job on the re-build

[@jamest7539]

How many times has this car been wrecked? I was watching a more recent rebuild, it's like Toretto's Charger, it keeps coming back.

[@ACshinealight]

Legends of the sport

[@markswain5021]

Would somebody please tell me, couldn't that damage have been hammered out and filled and finished with Isopon p38 to get it into shape ? .

[@FrankKellyRallying]

It could but then the next time I bend it, isopon would fly everywhere 😂😂

Frank glad you both were ok, how long in total for you to reshell the car and a ball park cost!!!!!!

[@slowlearner984]

I didn't see a new shell there. Just new front quarter and new boot. The cage saved the shell. Still lots of work fixing it, but not re-shelled per se.

[@FrankKellyRallying]

It wasn’t reshelled it was repaired. Old fords never die 😂

I had cuts of CAMDOM nav 2 or 3 times. hmm may be 1 time he had a mint mk2 the nav even the back axel was tooth brush fin well he was a RS200 member in the UK .
