Painting the Mk1 - Start to finish ! (Part 1 of 2)

[@conkgord]

That was excellent to watch from start to finish. The guy is a genius to watch. I am sure he goes home tired but satisfied. The music was also well suited to the rhythm of the gun. I have saved the video as it is a video any budding sprayer should watch.

Gavin is a legend 👍

As am x spraypainter who started off in the early 80's when cellulose was still being used, this was very satisfying to watch - car looks amazing and a great choice of colours

[@Cossie.Mk1]

Been waiting on this video. This is how you build the ULTIMATE mk1 escort!!! You don’t get better than this. It’s going to be the best one out there and if I ever win the lottery I am coming to find you!!!!! The attention to detail is amazing and I guess you will never admit to the wife the true cost!!!!what a build mate. Can’t wait to see it finished. Love the colours you went with. Nothing left to say but PERFECT!!!!!!!!👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥

Thanks Johnny, I doubt its the best one out there - but I'm trying to make it the best that I can possibly do - that's why its taking me so long 🤣

i had a rs1600 escort mk1 1971 model round headlights - v8 eater up to 80mph - on the street Australia !

[@philtucker1224]

Allan Mann and Ralph Broad were two of my heroes (and my career inspiration) back in the seventies. All of my school books were plastered with drawings of the Mk1s 😁🏁🏆

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Looks nice man I bet your over the moon with that I would be 👍

[@Cossie.Mk1]

Thanks mate - yes , I'm chuffed to bits with it. It looks even better in the flesh 😍

[@andyhopkinson2708]

🐕🐕🍒 Gavins work

[@Cossie.Mk1]

he's the best !

[@Metal05]

Looks amazing and I bet it’s a damn sight cheaper than those MST cars too. Nice work.

[@Cossie.Mk1]

I hear MST charge something like £120k for a car with a similar spec to mine , so yeah - a little bit cheaper 😉

[@andydarbo7450]

yours looks mint when i sprayed mine i had the doors balanced on tyres in my driveway :)

[@Cossie.Mk1]

You gotta do what ya gotta do mate !

[@neilmaguire5665]

[@Cossie.Mk1]

Yes, I'm back ! Lol 😆. The engine has been fully rebuilt - I've uploaded 3 videos covering the engine rebuild. Go check them out ! 💪

[@philtucker1224]

Wow Lee, what a beauty! Will you race her or keep her just for shows?

[@Cossie.Mk1]

I couldn't afford to bin it if I were racing , I may do the odd show - but mostly I just want to drive it and have fun 😀

[@trevorwoods2580]

Beautiful car and a beautiful paint job but by god I wouldn't like to be paying for it.

[@Cossie.Mk1]

Thanks

[@TheWestysworld]

Is the exterior paint the same as what’s on this inside? The Suzuki phantom grey? It’s beautiful!

[@Cossie.Mk1]

Thanks , the exterior & underbonnet is a lighter Suzuki Oort grey mettalic . Interior and stripes are a darker Suzuki Phantom grey mettalic 👍

[@stu2427]

Brilliant car absolute bollix music bit much tho

[@Cossie.Mk1]

Yeah - i get what you mean . i had to use something to drown out the noise of the fans in the spray booth though 😵
