    Fantastic build, and good on ya! Watching your videos has inspired me to buy one and hopefully complete it to a reasonable standard….but you’ve probably been asked 100 times but what is the name of the colour..and what colour are the strips. Cheers 👍🏼

    • @performanceclassics1986

    What a truly beautiful car. My parents owned a Ford Escort Mark 1 'Mexico' from 1973 to 1984 and I loved the bones of that car but it had to be sold for not much money sadly as at the time it needed too much doing to get it through it's M.O.T but growing up I had some adventures in it including going to Cornwall and the radiator caught fire and pre-kids Mum and Dad drove it all the way to Spain on holiday. The colour of your escort is so vibrant the one my parents had was copper with four big spot lamps on the front which are a no-no according to the Harris Family who build engines for fast Ford's. I've subscribed to your channel too.

    • @performanceclassics1986
      @performanceclassics1986 3 месяца назад

      Hello David, in terms of build quality, very very nice quality but I’ve only driven the car around 8 -10 miles since recently fitting them so I can’t fully comment on their braking performance. I do feel they are an improvement on the princess 4 pot callipers that I did have fitted but hard to be sure for the minimal miles I’ve driven it so far.

    Beautiful car. The delightful motor registry, on inspection, insisted I remove my wilwoods because they were not factory. I now run the RS brakes, but they are nowhere near as good. Wankers.
