The red escort looking great. Spraying is like plastering - an expert makes it look so easy but it's never the same when I try. :-)

[@oliverattwell8013]

All in the prep, I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@steve5772]

I was about to put exactly the same thing myself. They always look like they're just throwing it on, then you see the results this guy's got on a lot of Rob and Chris' cars and you realise how good he is.

[@classicwheelswales4491]

It's easy guys really 👍

[@S.ASmith]

@@steve5772 A lot of it is in prep. Being good at your job means you prepare for it well. Getting an even coat/finish doesn't take much learning, but getting that prep so clean and tidy takes a fair bit of skill. If you've had workshop/engineering/mechanical jobs where you can transfer such a mindset from, you get a headstart on a newbie to doing these things. I'd never painted a car in my life, but my missus had a dent in her rear wheel arch, some filler and a few sunny days later, the body work looks good again. Paint shop wouldn't probably done a better job, but as a first timer, the colour matches well (if anything filler is more of a pain). Making sure surface is clean, masking up properly, getting that primer on nicely & then building up a few layers of paint is really all there is too it. Lacquer coats are harder than base/colour coat just from my very brief experience doing bits and pieces.

[@The_Car_Stalker]

Please don’t let anyone ruin the Red escort, it is lovely how it is and we need it be kept original

[@martinsmusic2223]

Ideal project for Prince Andrew. Rumour has it he has a history of working on young Escorts.

[@LilDanmusic]

Hahahhahahhaha

[@cogidubnus1953]

That's a cracking car and set of parts for a project...Thanks to both of you, and also to the Paintshop Guy for allowing this view of his expertise at work...

[@alancraigie7951]

Rob, you and Chris are definitely operating at a different level now. Just magic. Wonderful stuff. Nearly 200k subscribers also. Very well deserved as you both work incredibly hard on content. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MyJon64]

Incredible how one minute the scrapyards are full of Mk4 Escorts, 10 years later you can't even find a decent interior for one!

[@DingleyDell]

Good decision. Personally I'm not a big fan of replicas, so I hope the Escort is retained as a very nice, clean and tidy original car and the RS parts get used for a restoration in progress (that way two cars remain largely original).

[@thomassummerhill]

Rob and Chris are fantastic examples of people who do the work properly. The stand out fixes are done however it’s the small details they deal with that makes the difference between an ok fix and a proper job done . Wish you continued success 👍

[@realjiver2]

Due to an illness, I had to give up my job as a painter 15 years ago. Watching your video made me miss painting sooo much.

[@benhobbs3513]

Such a shame he didn't repair the dent on the nearside arch 😢

[@Bootneck-RMC]

Great to see what the Escort went through in the paint shop. Thanks lads. 👍

[@jayacourt8282]

Love watching sprayers, they make it look so easy, a true art form👌🏻

[@shanecollier7952]

Fantastic stuff. Very enjoyable. I hope this car gets all fixed up with the parts, goes to a good owner and we all see a return video of it in the future. Many thanks again Rob and Chris.

[@ARobb1972]

Won’t be long before you have your own tv channel “Rob and Chris’s salvage workshop diaries” 👍👍

[@otbc2002]

Class video lads. Love the diversity of the recent episodes…. Keep up the good work! Makes me feel closer to home (watching in California).

[@pathallinan3920]

Never mind wheeler dealers ....fast n loud...and da rest of it...there's something very authentic about t yer content , I think its yer honesty and the way yee compliment each other shines trew as well as yer depth of knowledge and willing to share it..

[@marciasommerville9969]

Watched this video for a second time, it’s brilliant, thanks guys for taking the time and effort to make these videos so interesting 👍🇬🇧

[@DarcAngel77]

Absolutely a fantastic video Rob, was nice to see this rebuild in more detail, informative, educational and entertaining, love it.

[@michaelhynds8035]

Great stuff as always. Thank you for sharing.

[@paulmartin4971]

Spotted!!!! About 20 mins ago a red escort on Robs truck with Chris following in his little pickup hiding behind sunglasses 😎 lol driving through Latchingdon in Essex. Shame I had to turn off you were going towards Mayland. Lol can't wait for next exciting episode thanks.

[@-abacchus]

I managed to watch this one all the way through... Your previous video on this car reminded me too much of my lost red MKIII / MKIV Escorts. - Think I had four in red, and another four or five in other colours. So easy to work on and good fun to drive!

[@billhutton7766]

Great video guys I owned a standard Escort back in the day . It’s a joy to see brings back memories. Hope she goes to a good home 👍👍👍

[@MB-zm8lc]

Nice to see your paint guy getting involved:-) will make a nice project for someone at a very good price. Waiting to see the rs finished👍Have a good weekend.

[@andyspencer1010]

Absolute bargain guy's have a great weekend fellas 👌👌👌

[@damiancollins475]

Thats an Excellent job on the MK4 ......& JUST LIKE THAT BACK TO THE STUDIO!

[@martincowie4277]

Love the paint shop part of video , So professional keep mixing it up boys love it..❤️❤️❤️

[@edblanc101]

Lovely to see the painting. Brilliant funky tune 11 mins in. 🕺🏼

[@petebird7171]

Great video and a sensible move I reckon, that package will make someone very happy👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@paulwilliams7070]

I'd leave the red escort original specially as the car is mint

[@stevet1963]

Just keep the projects coming absolutely love em You need money to fund it all so do what you gotta do 👍🏻👍🏻 Take care guys 😊

[@acorndogs904]

Another good weeks content from u fellas much appreciated Roll on Monday Have a good weekend

[@jimhartland1939]

Dusting it in nicely 👌. Just what every ford deserves prior showroom.

[@roofdownfun]

I have to say Rob what a find that car is, a real classic, and a good painter is worth his weight in gold I'd say! I'm sure many if not all your followers would agree? Keep em coming bud👍

[@darrencowley8265]

Hi Rob and Chris what a great video again thank you take care 😊👍🏻😊

[@dazspurs9899]

I remember going round the scap yards in the 90s getting bits for my capris, complete interior's for those escorts were everywhere, shame there so hard to find now,I'm glad you rescued it it's a very good car and will only go up in value,same with the parts genuine parts are hard to find

[@markybuoy.]

You're video content of late Rob is the dogs. I love the retro cars you seem to getting involved in lately. Keep it up mate 👍🏻

[@SandrodelGreco]

Seeing the 2 Escorts together, with the mk1 in the background is excellent! :D

[@marksmithard7801]

I think definitely the right decision on the base escort. It’s a 3 doors so will make a great RS rep. Have a good weekend and thanks for the weeks uploads. Great variety as ever👍

[@jpoccasions227]

Love watching the spraying really good content 👍

[@paulwalker427]

Top video, top painter looking out for you, the car and him putting his name to his work - fantastic

[@simonjandrell5897]

Sprayers bloody amazing especially the way they can blend it in with the Original Colour.. Mind Blowing.. and as for the RS Turbo always a good thing to keep it Stock and that RS Back Box looks fabulous.. good idea make it a RS Turbo Replica thats what i would do

[@mrwhite292]

Thank you for showing the painting/spraying, interesting, peace.

[@md-detailing]

Good call Rob! Love the effort you put into each restoration Rob,thats why rob is my number 1 favorite channel and will always be. The MK4 Escort is looking much better now! :D Great video as always!

[@AndrewPayne]

My vote would have been to convert it into a full-blown replica RS Turbo - will be gorgeous in that red! Great find guys :)

[@danielmabbitt]

Glad you both decided to do this

[@davidminns9799]

Excellent insight to the paint process brilliant glov

[@tomjohntig]

Great deal for someone, fantastic motor for a winter project.

[@maffthetaff8625]

awesome video guys,,, anybody else found it therapeutic watching a professional at his job watching the car getting sprayed up lol...

[@colinrae2683]

Great video really enjoyed it doing the right thing with the red escort put the time and money in the RS cheers guys have a good weekend 😎👍

[@harvest585]

He is a superb painter very very well done

[@Lot76CARS]

Great video, loved the body shop footage, super update

[@Andy-qo6rq]

I spray painted my old Jerry cans with a rattle can I was well chuffed with the result he makes it look so easy a master at work. Ps mine was mat green. 😂😂😂 great video lots of projects keeps you busy and always interesting 👍👍👍👍

[@ethanatkinson2345]

Great video Rob and Chris.

[@leighcarnally6815]

Class again Rob. Must admit I’d like to see you make the kit upgrade on the Escort. Be a nice change that. Whatever you two do is always great viewing any way. Stay safe 😎

[@johnfurlong8313]

Great work as always lads , keep it up

[@mohdjesriothman3360]

That is nice work on the escort.all the wheels arches has been repaired and full painted.good work mate.from me jesri from malaysia

[@yardbird24]

great paint job.great video

[@leccybadger]

Cracking video, awesome Hammond Organ based soundtrack 💯👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@andrewmoffatt7046]

Yeah you should definitely make it into a full rep it will be great content and it's such a lovely shell

[@chriseverett1142]

Rob you are an amazing person with a perfect friend and partner chris good luck with the future.

[@michaelfk2548]

Sounds wise .....198k wow how well you guys have done....great footage as always thanks !

[@v88krb]

Very interesting paint process and a skilled craftsman makes it look easy. I don't expect you'll have much difficulty selling the red car as a package. Great piece today, thanks.

[@dietersmythe9649]

That Escort is such a cool project! Nothing like the milk-toast Escort of that vintage sold in Canada!

[@tonykeast9966]

Smart move, nice job, good luck with a keen buyer. I think this will have made somebody's day to see come up for sale. Neither greedy nor a mug's price! Well done!

[@JustinHT]

That's is the absolute dogs!!! Great video lads👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@martindaredare]

Superb video, and a good plan with the escort.

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, that guy can spray, lovely job, enjoyed watching that tbh, the Escort and all those parts are a bargain at £6K. Used to love working on the RS Turbo and Escort models, nice and easy, straightforward. Looking forward to getting the Golf done, and more on the white RS. Cheers, Alex.

[@fiestasiphil]

Rob, ford fair is at Silverstone a week on Sunday you should come along and show the cars and sell the parts there if you can

[@peterdiamant8506]

Great content guys, keep it up 👍🏻

[@haydenuk02]

The car looks amazing for the age. I think that’s the best thing to do is to just sell that way it’s not just sitting there collecting dust and eventually rusting. Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@johnpells5992]

Great video guys ,what that escort needs is the Zetec 2lt in it and turbo it ,common swap. On old fords the rs turbo is underpowered really it would make a nice sleeper ,good job guys

[@ryanfrench2000]

Sounds a good idea Rob for the escort and all the bits and a good price 👌👍

[@petersykes8891]

What a shame,it would have been an adventure to see what you and Chris pulled out of the bag when building that red rocket 🚀.Hopefully the new owner keeps in touch and shows the end result.keep them coming top content 💪💪🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲

[@adriancox3365]

Great video. Enjoy watching your projects. Shame we’re not going to see this red escort finished.

[@timfenton5153]

Excellent, thanks

[@Mr_Dimplezz]

Mate it's looking awesome 👍 what a fantastic looking car for its age!

[@mikeyoakes180]

Loved watching the spraying! That would be a great conversion for someone! Shame your not going to convert it yourselfs! Anyway ill see you both in the next one ☝️

[@davidsjenkins281]

Great video as always keep up with the good work

[@johnhughes7274]

Would have loved to have seen the red Escort out back to stock, but option 3 must have been the way forward. Cracking video again lads!! A big thumbs up from Durham👍👍👍

[@anthonymillar6183]

Paint looks fab rob 👍

[@10mustard]

I used to weld these up every week in the 90s doing my apprenticeship. Sills, chassis rails, battery trays. We hit them with the stone chip and Schutz! 😆back in the good old days in Essex! 😉 they weren't worth nothing then.

[@kevinthomas1259]

Great video, so good to see the paint shop go through the process of getting a superb finish. I think you are doing the right thing to let the escort go to someone who has the time to finish it off. As you have said the RS turbo bits will probably go to an enthusiast doing a restoration project. Hope you make a profit on the hi lux. You have plenty of projects on the go it will be good to Free up some space in your yard I am sure.

[@MrChrisGordonE3]

Been watching for a few weeks and new subscriber. If I was gonna buy a car with damage i:e cat c blah blah and asked these guys to repair it I would feel confident it was roadworthy after they dealt with it. Showed all the faults and explained it and fixed. Can't ask more than that can ya. ✌🏽✌🏽

[@leslietingey3873]

hope it goes to a good home and would love to see what they do , nice video Rob & Chris

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

The mark of a good painter, makes it look easy.

[@dalewoodgate8165]

Very pro painters lucky if it's quite cheap stick with them, they know what there doing, doing it for 15 years myself, great job!

[@shaunwest3612]

Great video salvage rebuilds, lovely spray job, very nice, great match, best decision for you too sell👍👌😀

[@Ghosthunter1968]

Just gets better & better

[@robertspear9134]

Imo,Good decision to list it, and the Toyota. Loved the paint booth work.

[@johnpaulwray4121]

[@nosteb90]

Bring it to Ford fair in Northampton next week. I have no doubt that someone will bite your arm off! Be great content for the channel and some advertising too.

[@anthonyhawkins9239]

I should imagine that Escort will be sold ASAP ! Great car, great deal I think 👍

[@bedclintred]

Nice paint job, it's a shame we will not see it completed but there are so many other projects to do. 👍😁🚗👌

[@kevinisaac9139]

Brilliant video Rob very good deal that 👍

[@christophermacgregor471]

Great video and nice to see behind the scenes work at the paint shop, if it were me I’d buy the escort, garage it keep it original and sell of the parts, episode 3 on the focus Monday please 🙏

[@stephenfarrow368]

Another interesting vidio guys ,roll on the next one

[@patwatters3121]

Lovely job that rob well done mate

[@smileymiley3319]

Great video as always. Shame, would have loved to have seen the red Escort returned to a standard condition. Standard examples of the two door variants are hard to find due to them being turned into replicas back in the 90s. Great price for it too.

[@lukecowell7516]

Be worth more as an rs Re-shell tho

[@pamboskourtoulos5239]

The Mk 4 Ford is ok as it is, why ruin it to make it into an RS turbo. Your looking at history...don't ruin it. Great video.

[@sruk]

We’re not we are selling it as is ?

[@pamboskourtoulos5239]

@@sruk Yes Rob, Chris, sorry you misunderstood, I am agreeing with you to sell it as it is, and the person who buys it should not do any chsnge to the car because it is now a clssic. Take care

[@martycrush6412]

I had a h plate escort eclipse that did exactly the same to. Happy days😍👌
