Добавлен 18 апр 2024
Hi, I'm Jamie, in my spare time I like to tinkle with cars, completely self taught with everything I do though trial and error, I'll share my journey with you, hopefully providing some inspiration and tips, although your comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
My current project cars are:

Escort RS Turbo Series One Restoration. Metering head and heating system rebuild.
Its all the little jobs that take up time, in this video I manage to get the wiring loom cleaned up and pulled into the car, I strip the metering head down and rebuild and then I go over the heater system.
Having never touched a metering head before, if anyone spots any mistakes or improvements I can make please let me know.
Sorry if this ones a bit boring, hopefully it helps other out who are undergoing a restoration.

Escort RS Turbo Series One Restoration. Gearbox rebuild, plus gear selector and pedal box overhaul.
Просмотров 5692 месяца назад
More progress with the Escort RS Turbo restoration.Although the gear box appeared in good condition mechanically, its was covered in years of dirt and oil. Having never rebuilt a gearbox before, I assumed it was going to be a challange and it was, but one I enjoyed. The gear selector and pedal box also received an overhaul.
MK3 Rs Turbo Series One Restoration. Dashboard repair and the final bit of painting finished.
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.4 месяца назад
I've been looking for a good passenger door for a while now and finally find one, so time to get it painted. The dashboard (as with most MK3 dashboards) was really badly cracked and warped, so I've had a go a repairing that. The paint I use is from htsupplies.co.uk/products/innotec-repaplast-medium-grey-colour-finish-500ml and seams to be a good match for all the interior trim.
Escort RS Turbo Restoration, the final parts of the body kit painted. Bumpers and grill done!

I finally get the last pieces of the body kit and bumpers painted, it's crazy the amount of time you spend prepping these parts. I'm pretty happy with the outcome to say they are just painted in the garage.
RS Turbo Restoration! Back to bodywork, finally one door done!!
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Finally made a start on getting the doors painted, I was lucky to find a rust free door, just a shame it wasn't straight. A lot of sanding and prepping. painting inside your garage at home isn't easy but you can achieve good results. In between the coats of paint I also make a start on restoring the bumpers.
I got wheelly wheelly close to getting a wheel on, didn't quite work out as planned.

My ongoing restoration of my Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1. I finally get the other side of the bodykit fitter and rebuild the brakes using ST170 brake discs and Mondeo MK3 calipers
Ford Escort RS Turbo Series One restoration..... where it's at and what's next!
Просмотров 10 тыс.6 месяцев назад
I bought this car in 2020, and it was in a very sorry state. I've slowly been putting it back together. Everything that's been done on this car is by me and I'm completely self taught so be kind, I kind of make it up as I go along. Everything has been done in my garage, and yeah the paint isn't amazing but for now it only cost me a few hundred pound, so worse case in a few years I'll get someon...
Great video again wish they came more often 👏👏👏
@tezblackwell6796 Thank you, I'm going to try and uploads more frequent. it's been a busy few months :)
Nice work and updates coming together
You are really patient and organized, this will be one of the best RS around once finished. This channel will also be a fantastic resource in form of log for anyone attempting to restore all these bits, please do not heasitate to document all jobs on the car, they are sure worth for others.
Thank you :)
Great work , its good how you seam to make sense of stripping parts down and re assembling ,its going to be a cracking car once complete.
@adrianricketts8884 thank you
It's always good to catch up with yourself and progress on your old classic thank you always fantastic content.
thank you, glad you're enjoying them :)
Cracking work again 👍🏻
@@murfsfrst thank you 😊
Fantastic work on that dash,really enjoying your videos keep up the great work car will be awesome when done 👍🏻 👏🏻
@@murfsfrst thank you :)
Nearly became a permanent fixture of the engine bay. Make an interesting talking point at a show with the hood up lol. Nice work mate, great skills 👌
Dash is dashing, I'd be over the moon with the outcome mate, niceeee 👌
Neat trick to paint the door mate 👍
Keep all the original parts mate. I know ya making upgrades for you and that's great and you wish to keep the car ( who wouldn't) however ya never know what cards life will play you and having it original will make a difference to any unfortunate sale. Get the original parts all restored ready to go mate. You doing great work. So happy I found your channel this morning. Made my day mate 👍
I'm keeping all the original parts and spares, slowly working though restoring them all - Just finished metering head, wipers, heater box and heater matrix. Oh also the wiring so I'm going to try and put another video together this weekend. :) thanks again, glad you're enjoying the videos
@@IRustBeNuts well done mate 👍
Top job mate, you done great. Just subscribed and look forward to watching your journey. Thanks for sharing it mate 👍
@scottcallis3491 thank you :)
Brilliant job you are doing,do love a s1 rs turbo would love to own one,even though I have a fiesta rs turbo have a real soft spot for them 👍🏻
Thank you, I do really like the Fiesta RS's, maybe own one on day :)

Cracking job on the dash. I saw a mint S1 today in my hometown Sittingbourne on the back of a trailer, rare to see outside of a show nowadays!
@neildawson4933 thank you and it is, when done this will get used :)
Those shafts are a nightmare . I made my own in two pieces to make my life easier in future ;)
Looks good. I wish I still had my 1987 Ford escort GT
Just see video. Look fantastic.
@michaelcotton928 thank you :)
Amazing videos
@turbitoescort7460 Thank you 😊
Absolutely brilliant 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep the vids coming 😎😎
Thank you and will do :)
Great video, thanks for taking the time to share 👍
@@NeilJones-s5u thank you :)
Great video, I've bought an aluminium quadrant to replace the plastic one but think I will remove the pedal box to do it as it looks too awkward to do in place
Thank you, I did manage it years ago while in place, but taking the whole unit out makes it a lot easier. I was tempted to go aluminium but for now I just want to get the car going, I'll have lots of "make it better" jobs when I'm done.
For me I thoroughly enjoyed it and you have inspired others to tackle the gearbox instead of cleaning the case and changing the oil.
Thank you :)
I find it amazing that you don’t have tens of thousands of followers with how much interest there is in classic cars these days. This will likely be one of the best Escorts around when it’s on the road.
Thank you :) I'm honestly really amazed I have the following I do, and hope it helps others with their projects. I find making the videos also helps me keep on track with finishing one job at a time, rather than starting 10 and finishing none :)
Not for the fainthearted. This gearbox stip down and rebuild well done you fantastic content I'm enjoying this build. Thank you.
@richarddinning6901 thank you :) glad you're enjoying
So 5th gear just fell off ? Sure I needed the 5th gear puller for mine
Inspiration for my own Channel. Keep up the amazing work!!
Will do and thank you :)
Afternoon mate can you do some work on my Nissan pulsar GtiR? please 😃
if I had the time, I would have loved to, I used to have one several years ago, was a great fun little car
Good effort 👍🏻
Thanks 🙂
Looking good 👍 did u get that car from great Yarmouth
thanks, no, I got this from Birmingham way
Superb mate very well done
Many thanks!
I can’t believe you saved that dash! When you turned it over after fixing the back I thought “he’s got no chance with that one” 😮
Yeah I wasn't sure at 1st, its not perfect now but much better and useable :)
Great work on that dash repair, looked beyond saving
I honestly wasn't sure it could be saved, worked out well in the end :) thanks for watching.
I look forward to your post's on this classic you're can do attitude is inspiring.
Fantastic job on the dash and really enjoying your channel. Looking forward to the next episode, so keep 'em coming!
Thanks, will do!
awesome so looking forward to seeing it restored
me too and thank you
Brilliant work mate did you smooth the boot at all?
thanks :) no boot is standard, still has the lock etc, it did have the chrome trim so I welded those holes up, and no wiper so I had to cut that in too.
Great job with the dash well done
Thank you
Great stuff looking forward to the next episode 👏👏👏👍
Nice job
Plenty of room for your hands with the bottom of the doors Aussie cars don't give you that option often cut your hands trying to line up window regulators etc Great idea for hanging the door love the way the epoxy primer flows from the gun what a great product to come along since acrylic paints
Seriously what a talent Sir gorgeous car seeing paint on the panels laying down flat and the magnificent repair job on the dash this car will be beautiful when your finished cheers champ
@@russelblackwell6041 thank you

White on white on white would be awesome. Wheels, interior, even the engine. My dream car.
Great job can’t wait for the next episode
Nice one Mate. She's Looking Good. Bodywork, you've got to Love it. In the Middle of some Now. National Hot Rod Fibreglass Panels. Triumph TR8. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I'll be really glad when the bodywork is done, although I do feel I've learned a lot about it now
Fair play mate, it's Not an easy thing to get Right, and if you Don't it will look Horrendous. I've been doing it a few years Now. Did a MK2 Escort a few years ago Now. Every one that came in and looked at it, made the Normal comment for someone that will never be able to do this of,is it worth it. 18 months later there was an immaculate MK2 in Blue sat in front of them. The Comment was, well it Obviously was worth it then.
Great work. Love the series 1.
A guy is selling a genuine mk3 ns door what looks to be in good condition on market place but its in Wales probably to far away
I'm really hoping to be collecting one this evening.... fingers crossed
