Mk1 FORD ESCORT Restoration PART 10

Welcome to my SUPER DUPER edition of Restoration Roulette! In this show I have to fully restore a classic car and get it sold, there's a catch..... I don't know what car it's going to be and I've only get 2 months to do it with a budget of £20k! Can it be done?
What car am I going to get? Watch and find out. SPOILER ALERT!! It's a MK1 FORD ESCORT :)
In this video I get started on the filler work.
If you picked a classic car restoration what would it be? Would you keep it standard or make it fast, loud and fun? Let me know in the comments.....
As always if you can leave a cheeky like and subscribe that would be mint!

Hope everyone enjoys the video! Mainly the Keithy show this time with him showing off his skills 👍.

[@chopperhehehe]

And cracking skills they are 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁🤞✌

[@adrianday8678]

Excellent

[@stevemcilroy9518]

Keith did a pucker job there for the time he had, kudos to him.

[@george8718]

Keith with the artistic touch 🤥🤫🤥🤥🤫🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@philtucker1224]

Out of the three of you, the Escort is the most mature one…….😊 - and the best looking, ha ha!

[@jordan-mcc]

Proper job that 👏 people don't understand how hard filling actually is and Keith makes it look easy

[@jordan-mcc]

@@keithoddautos5044 currently on with rebuiling my xr2 lucky the old man has a body shop so left the filling to him as I make a twat of it 😂😂

[@chrisc9406]

More interesting than crawling on your knees to fill and sand the skirting boards at home. Got to be worth it though if one step closer to Project Mk1 Minis!

[@grayfool]

Keith makes an Escort boot fit! Didn't know that was even possible. . .

[@ODDAutos]

Ha ha, I know 🤣

[@Peter-or8oc]

I honestly don't know why you haven't got a million subs the skills you guys available is unbelievable

[@tomsmith2209]

Love the MK1. Thanks for the video.

[@antmk2dreaming614]

i can watch bodywork and prep all day long, video was not long enough. Some good tips there too. you must be some sort of magician!

[@ODDAutos]

I can watch Keith all day working his booty 🤣

[@fill7t1]

Keith makes it look so easy!, glad you kept the outtakes in! Fancy coming in at the end after most of the work is done. Lol

[@johnshuker8892]

Really good some useful tips in the video and attention to detail fab job. I've just caught up with the videos just missed the voting for colour but blue and white is good . Mine is white with a blue stripe. John

[@guysilverback7755]

Nice job as always😁👍, can't believe you rubbed one out on camera though🤣🤣 ❤

[@ODDAutos]

Ha ha cheers Phil 😘

[@danielwhiteley5941]

Bit of jam in it !!! I use the tape method but I also draw the lines on in pencil tape to the line and wipe over with dry guide coat that way you have a better indicator on how close the shape is

[@ODDAutos]

👍👍

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Shinning the light through Keith’s ears was so funny 😆 remember doing stupid stuff like that in the workshop myself still cracks me up obviously cut from from the same cloth fellas . Damn that’s flying along now looking really nice wanna see it finished but don’t want the build to end as it just great tv 👍 thanks guys ✊

Good afternoon fellows, you are so lucky not to have snow. Absolutely impossible to move a project like that here. That project is moving along very nicely. You guys take care and good luck.

[@ODDAutos]

Cheers Steve, yes the snows not come this year luckily enough. Glad you liked the vid mate 👍

[@MrKaydar]

Been looking forward to seeing the next instalment. Keith has a lot of patience. Prep work is long and laborious. But poor prep. Poor finish. Keep up the good work and brilliant content. Outtakes hilarious as ever.

[@colinhutcheson1365]

Loving your work as usual Keith, lots of work there and that's just the back end, I assume the boss is refurbishing the rest of the parts in the background, looking forward to the next installment

Yes I’m hard at work… or hardly working 🤣

It’s getting there now, close to the final road test in Feb 👍👍

[@-abacchus]

It seems Keith missed an opportunity whilst towing you and the jig (I could vision the crazy left turns whilst making a coffee in the Sooty Mobile). Twelve (12) *TWELVE* layers of paint..? - I'm surprised the rest of the shell rusted at all..! _I certainly don't envy the amount of filling & sanding required..!_ Umm, anyone care to mention why there's a quad hanging from the ceiling..? Brilliant video as always chaps, keep it up 👍

[@ODDAutos]

Ha ha yer least he didn’t crash the golf buggy 🤣. The car will weigh much less now without all that paint.

[@ash_mk1_escort]

[@ashrothwell535]

Hi chaps. Great videos. Could you tell me the make & model of your ramp?

[@ODDAutos]

Hiya Ash, they are https automotech ramps buddy. The one where we are doing the bodywork is a 3 tonne with air locks and built in ramps to drive up. The one up top in the fabrication workshop is a 3.5T low to the ground one with hydraulic safety locks. Have a look at the older mk2 vids to see the body one up 👍
