[@matthewbriggs388]

Stunning work on the seat. Really nice.

[@performanceclassics1986]

Thanks very much matt 👍 A very satisfying job

[@edcase7888]

AWESOME FOUND you're CHANNEL THIS MORNING AND YOU ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB IT WILL CERTAINLY BE A CREDIT TO YOU I HAVE AN OLYMPIC BLUE RS 2000 I HAVE TO RESTORE AND A SIGNAL YELLOW MK2 RS2000 AND WATCHING THIS REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO GET GOING GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST OF THE BUILD THANKS

[@performanceclassics1986]

E d Case Awesme. Im really pleased to hear its making you want to get stuck into your own. Thats my no1 reason for these videos. Inspire the next. You have 2 awesome cars for resto. I love the MK2 RS2000 every bit as much as i love the Mk1 version. Hope you get started soon 😎

[@peterfuchs7822]

Infinite thumbs up Craig

[@anthonymorriss5365]

Love the series! im still struggling with bodywork on my mk1 and this is giving me some much needed motivation

[@performanceclassics1986]

Thanks Anthony 👍 Keep at it. It will all be worth it in the end.

[@anthonycunningham5872]

Coming along well. Can’t wait to see it close to being finished and on the road.

[@performanceclassics1986]

Thanks Anthony. You and. Me both 😂👍

[@RawTopShot]

19:00 I thought that was a cartoon of Rich's Bumblebee for a moment there 😂👍 That escort of yours is going to be absolutely stunning once it's finished. It's so nice to see such attention to detail in a build. See if you can work out a financial deal with the companies you're using, as a trade off for the links you'll provide to them from your videos. Seeing the work they do and products they're producing ( that you're using in your build ) is a very good way to attract customers for them; so it's in both your interests to work something out. Top vid as always. 🏆

[@performanceclassics1986]

RAW TOPSHOT thanks very much for the comment. Yeah the mini on the poster is exactly like Richards bumblebee in-fact its identical. I sent Rich a picture of it when i put it up because i thought the exact same 🤣The discount idea would be absolutely amazing but the problem is I dont think i have a big enough following or enough subscribers for that to benefit the companies im mentioning. If i had 5-6+k subscribers then i think that would work. Maybe 1 day eh

[@edelweiss800]

Hog rings are also used to secure chain link fencing to the cross lines between the Fence posts 👍 keep up the good work

[@performanceclassics1986]

edelweiss800 They are a very handy Item. Make a lovely tidy job.

[@ianwiggins3363]

Awesome you’re doing a very good job keep up the good work be nice to see the finished projectBy the way

[@performanceclassics1986]

Ian Wiggins thanks Ian. Hopefully you will see the car at a show sometime in the future 👍

[@vjacck9686]

[@df9834]

Looks awesome that back seat Craig 🤙

[@performanceclassics1986]

D F thanks. It turned out even better than i hoped it would 👍

[@SuperDarren73]

Such a cool car mate 👍🏻

[@performanceclassics1986]

darren roo thanks Darren. Isn’t it amazing how cars from 40+ years ago still look awesome today. I much prefer them to modern cars.

[@TheCarlin1]

Love the detail champ. When you do the rear arm rests could you do a detailed video please. Keep up the great work. Watching from Australia 👍

[@performanceclassics1986]

TheCarlin1 thanks very much. Il try my best to remember and record that being done 👍

[@craigorford9932]

Fishnet Recaro’s are the best seats out

[@performanceclassics1986]

craig orford yeah i think so too. They look amazing and are really comfortable

[@pauljackson6593]

Looks so good , I wish I had my mk2 still but was stolen.

[@performanceclassics1986]

Paul Jackson when was that Paul?? Recently?? Really sorry to hear that

[@theshaws7086]

Hi Great Job :) Glad you like the book I own the Yellow RS2000 in Book :)

[@performanceclassics1986]

The Shaws very good. I will have a better look at it later then. Must be real high standard to be chosen for the book/Bible 😎

[@Pablo-sr2zx]

Of course you do

[@trickydickydoudlebug]

Proper Bible that book. Got it myself

[@performanceclassics1986]

trickydickydoudlebug yeah the GS escorts lads call it the Bible 🤣

[@benjaminbenson8714]

Excellent again. Cheers Craig. Did you use any adhesive on the material to follow the contours of the foam?

[@performanceclassics1986]

Benjamin Benson yes i used spray glue into the grooves then i pushed the material into the grooves first. Its difficult to see because the time lapse is probably a bit fast.

[@benjaminbenson8714]

@@performanceclassics1986 I saw you spray something and assumed as much. I've never done any retrimming so thought I would ask.

[@performanceclassics1986]

Benjamin Benson until this seat i hadnt either Ben but other than the awful hessian job, the rest of it was quite enjoyable. Made all the better by the fantastic quality of the seat covers.

[@ChamberlainElliott]

Looks absolutely fantastic! How big is that garage?

[@performanceclassics1986]

Elliott Chamberlain Its around 10ft wide by approx 35ft long. It fits the escort and mini comfortably but there isn’t a great amount of working space. Its not big enough to be fair but if i had room for a garage twice the size, it still wouldn’t be big enough 🤣

[@trickydickydoudlebug]

Loveing these vids of the build. I' need a pair of RS front struts, Don't suppose you have any up your sleeve?

[@performanceclassics1986]

trickydickydoudlebug I havent but if you look for a guy called Kevin Paul on Escortosis through facebook, he rebuilds some fantastic struts for customers. I can certainly recommend him 👍

[@trickydickydoudlebug]

@@performanceclassics1986 hmmmm thanks for the info... i tried to look for him but I cant see? I'm not very social media. Any links I can follow? Cheers

[@performanceclassics1986]

trickydickydoudlebug Are you on Facebook?? If you are i could try and send you a link if you let me know your facebook details??

[@trickydickydoudlebug]

@@performanceclassics1986 cheers. Not sure how to. Can you post the link here? I could follow it.

[@ianwiggins3363]

What are you done it red for not original colour

[@performanceclassics1986]

Ian Wiggins its actually Sebring Red as used on the original mk1 escort Models including the Mexico’s and RS Models

[@slimshady6718]

Do they do a book for mk2 rs2000 ?

[@performanceclassics1986]

dean dokic Yes they Do Dean. Mk1 and MK2. They do a few different models including the escort Cosworths

[@JoseMartins-wn2mg]

🤞👍

[@stevemiller8794]

Is that the original rear shelf Craig or is it a fiberglass coated with something, cheers mate,

[@performanceclassics1986]

@@stevemiller8794 It’s a fibreglass replica from GS escorts Steve but looks great and was a perfect fit 👍

Looking awesome Craig. You should easily finish it within 12 months the way you’re cracking on . I’ve only JUST started bolting things to mine !!!!! Did you buy the front legs off Kevin Paul ? They look fantastic :)

[@performanceclassics1986]

lee reynolds thanks lee. Yeah they came from Kevin. He seams like a cracking guy. Hes done a lovely job putting them together. I feel like progress is slow but im trying to step it up. Have you got your shell rolling yet??

[@leer798]

Performance Classics no mate , but not too long now - although I’ve no wheels to roll it on yet even if I get all the suspension mounted lol ! Can’t decide which to get . I’m kicking myself now for skipping my old steelies

[@performanceclassics1986]

lee reynolds its one of them scenarios where you’ve thrown something out and now you need it but if you kept them, you wouldn’t need them 🤣. It makes understanding Hoarders a bit easier eh 🤣

[@RawTopShot]

@@performanceclassics1986 I threw out a very good rust free mk2 2 door shell because my sister was moving house ( where the rolling shell was being kept ) and I had nowhere to store it! Bad times 😱
