'MAUDE' THE MK2 ESCORT IS GETTING SPOILT THIS WEEK!

[@slipworksfactory8280]

Dude your style of videos are addictive. No shit talking, clear cut, cut to the chase with good production. Keep it up bro 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :) Hopefully soon I can make some more drift day vids (like u guys make) once 'Maude' is back 2gether. :)

@@marcushayesford if you've got the cash and can get to corby.. Rockingham Outer Paddock is your best bet.. not a lot to hit, BDC layout and wet days are cheap too 👌

[@marcushayesford]

SLIP WORKS FACTORY Iv always wanted to go to Rockingham. I’ll defo look into it now that Maude should HOPEFULLY be oil leak free after this week. :)

alex cantlow I Iive and breathe Ford Escorts mate. I think I have a serious problem! :D

[@alanparry2028]

No need for a scaffold pipe to drift the bearing back on just put the shaft in a vice and hit the face with a hammer blob of weld on the retaining collet to make sure bearing doesn’t come off , good vid 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Ill give it a go. Thanks for the advice mate! :)

[@billywhizz98]

Superb video Marcus the Black gaffa tape was an essential part of building Escorts when I worked in the factory even the maintenance use it to repair some of the machines

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :) Gaffer tape and cable ties are all I need in the garage really. All the other tools are just for show. ;)

[@steven-vn9ui]

Thanks for the video. You seem like a sound guy, subbed

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :) Welcome to the channel mate.

[@timclow3775]

Just discovered your vids, bud. Love your honest, straight talking approach........highly engaging and entertaining 👍 Picking up tips for my Capri build. Keep them coming, mate.

[@marcushayesford]

Tim Clow glad u enjoy the vids mate! 👍 Welcome to the channel! Feel free to send some pics/info of ur Capri to my Facebook page! 😀

[@michaelmatthews8171]

Use to go to burtons when they were open on a sunday, a great way to spend a sunday morning...

[@marcushayesford]

I agree! :) There have been a few times in the past where I have wished they were open on a Sunday.

[@HH-re3dk]

Great video my dad recently just went for the uprated shafts as he snapped a rs2000 shaft lol he's running a transx in his 4 door aswell

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :) Id love a set of those uprated shafts for both of my escorts in the future just for piece of mind but Im. hoping the standard ones will last for now. The shafts are defo the weak link in both of my cars' running gear tho. :)

[@grahamefreestone5309]

Yes Marcus. There was something about this video that made it very enjoyable to watch. Maybe it was 2:44 lol. Great video mate. 👍 🇬🇧

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :)

[@glenboult3306]

Hi Marcus. Great content as per usual. Just as a side note could you possibly fill us in on a few tidbits while you have the camera going. Such as the diff.. like is it a std mk2 diff with an lsd kit added. Kinda assume we know nothing about what's on maude and ester.. may help a few viewers out. Thanks in advance from your New Zealand viewers

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :) Ill try to remember to mention it when i re-fit the diff. But yeh its a standard 'english' axle fitted to Maude. I have changed the crown wheel and pinion ration to a very revvy 4.1:1 (which i think is what was fitted to the mk1/mk2 escort vans) and fitted the Tran-x plated LSD.

[@seanpollard3467]

Another excellent video Marcus I’ve always wanted a mk1 or mk2 escort had too settle for a mk3 like yourself constantly doing something too it great fun keep up the good work 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :) I do like the mk3s. My dad has one but Im not sure what he wants to do with it.

[@John_S234]

👍 great progress you be drifting by Friday 💪

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! . . . . Maybe NEXT Friday! :)

[@dagenhamdave2611]

Interesting vid mate. Have you got a one or two piece prop on Maude. Bet she pulls well. Cheers dave

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :) Both of my escorts are running single piece props mate. 'Maude' pulls strong considering the simple setup she is running. :)

[@carolhunt304]

Wish I was young like you again so I can eat those deserts

[@mikego18753]

[@medievilassassin]

Great video , but mate you wore white 😳

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks! :) white clothes make me look like Iv actually done some work! :)

[@simonhaycocks]

Not just RWD escorts that need LSD goodness. All RWD cars with a bit of poke need one. I had a quaiffe ATB fitted to my mapped E92 330d. Transformed it! Speaking of ATB’s, don’t they do them for escorts? No servicing and no special fluids needed as they don’t have plates that wear out!

[@marcushayesford]

An LSD would defo help in any rwd car but Escorts are all I have experience with (except a Volvo 340 I used to own but thats another story :) ) ATBs are available for Escorts form Quaife and are perfect for a rally car but they'r a bit too progressive for drifting (altho some people dissagree) Alot of companies will tell you that a plated LSD is too agressive for a road car but I love them. :)

[@simonhaycocks]

All LSDs are good, better than open anyway! I was and still am a big fan of old fords, had 2 mk2 escorts and a mk1 back in the early 90s so I love what you’re doing with yours. I’d love one again now but the prices have gone crazy so I can’t afford them now. I also had 3 capris, a mk1 1300 gt and 2 2.8s, the last being a special with the standard LSD. What a drift machine that was! These days the only ‘interesting’ but affordable RWDs are BMWs.......I’ve had 7 so far 😂 Anyway, keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@mariosnikolaou5212]

Brooo you are awesome my dad's brother has a historic mk2 escort and i really wanna drive it but m8... eat more healthy 😂😂

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks for the positivity! If ur dad doesnt mind feel free to send some pics/details about his car to my facebook page and Ill share it on there. facebook.com/marcushayesford

[@johnnytenjobs]

Be interested to see LSD rebuild

[@marcushayesford]

Iv always wanted to have a go myself one day and if I ever do Ill defo make a vid. :)

[@trishennaidoo1309]

Hey bro what car did you get the lsd out of want to do it to my escort

[@marcushayesford]

My LSD is a Tran-X unit designed for the mk2 escort (English axle) Tran-X is now owned by Quaife so check their website for more details. Hope that helps mate. :)

@@marcushayesford what origin is this car because English mk2s don't look like yours. Yours looks like a front end of a fiesta with a escort back end weirdly like it

[@marcushayesford]

alex cantlow all mk2s look like that mate. Apart from RS2000s which have a ‘nose cone’ on the front. Also some mk2s have the same front as mine but with round headlights (which have a different grill to suit) :)
