Fitting the number plate, a prime example of a 5 min job taking 2 days! We've all been there! Cheers Adam for always keeping the content real for us "lads with a garage" 👍
You go way beyond a general DIY guy. The content and presentation is spot on. So refreshing to see this not only being brought back to life but in its standard form looks.
Pretty sure the copper grease on the mating surface of the disc was done to avoid corrosion between it and the wheel. It wasn’t on the friction surface 👍
You should make up merch with the slogan 'just avin a go'. Instant hit. Loved this build mate. Really relateable. Nothing with beat the episode where you changed the steering wheel and the horn kept blasting. Thats the funniest thing ive ever seen on YT 😂😂.
Great video again mate. Dunno if you'll see this comment, but you're pretty much correct with the rear view mirror, as a windscreen fitter, we use proper mirror pads to stick them on. Happy to post a few out to you if you can contact me. But that tape will probably be sound. The most important thing is exactly what you've done in cleaning the mirror and mounting point on the glass. Little tip is to grease the ball and socket joint of the mirror. It'd usually adjusting a stiff mirror that ends up pulling them off the glass. Anyway, top work. Very jealous of such a cool project. Keep it up
I recommend Lanoguard if you want to protect any metal from rusting especially moving parts such as wishbones and drop links, its easy to apply too and protects from surface rust
Nice number plates. You could stick some soft pads on the back of them so it stops the plates from bowing when you press in the middle and ends of the plates. Coming on now and why did you not paint the back of the rear wheel hub carriers. When they were off the car. It just looks odd having new backplats, then rusty hub carriers and all new rear brakes?
In regards the exhuast tip on the bumbper i had the same issue in my Bentley so i got a kit which had some metal mesh plates that fitted around the exhuast cut on the plastic!
You need to get yourself a set of digital vernier callipers Adam ! Makes measuring things a lot more accurate than a screwdriver & measuring tape. Also really handy for measuring bolt diameters & drill bits.
Ford supplied specific double sided pads back in the day for fixing mirrors to windscreens. Hot weather with direct sunlight could sometimes cause you to end up with a mirror in your lap particularly if the adjustment ball had stiffened up.
5:49 no not at all. These small efforts add up in the end! Adam you are methodical and I'd not hesitate to recommend you if you were selling a car. 24:34 JB Weld.
I allways use silacone grease on my disk pads and caliper etc. The copper grease only minimizes the pads noise but it will help corrode that pads and surounding areas alot faster. With silacone grease it wont actually attract any moisture so pafs etc will live a ling life
I had the exact same issue with my boot lock. Wouldn't push out far enough. So I bought a new boot lock off ebay, only issue is i have a different key for the boot.
I think i fallen in love with you 😂😂😂 been watching this series and its been brilliant. I had a white e plate saph around 2006/7 and it was similar state to when you got this so it brings back great memories. Keep it up Adam
Glad you changed it so both number plate screw caps were white. Little Suprised you didnt just wirebrush and paint the Hub while it was off tho! Top Video all the same!
If I done the hub I would of done the rear arm, if I done the rear arm I would of done the rear beam, if I done the rear beam I would of done the floor 😂🙈
Doing brilliant with this adam small wins always feel massive lol.....for your front fogs i always run a lower rating bulb fogs are 55w? So i put 10w in my gte/sri ect them look like 4 side lights ect more style drl ect ....doubt this be out in heavy fog lol cops never botherd me either
Loving the vids, finding them well handy for my Sapphire. I could see now how easy a rear disc conversion would be. I'd say when putting copper slip on brakes you only need a small amount on contact areas. Cheers
love your vids adam,number plate issue you can use counter sunk screws as they fit in screw caps better,the number plate tape is exactly the right thing for mirror,nice fix on boot catch mate,good luck with mot!
Hi Adam absolutely love ur content uve come so far and ur doing brilliant , i had a white sapphire cosworth F450 KEC wen i was 20 years old I'm now 39 , i paid 3600 for it and although I've had several other cosworths after this 1 i wish I'd of kept my 1st 1 but i sold it to pay for my hgv licence don't even know if its still on the road now
Hi great job but you don’t need the back plates for mot unless they are used for mounting brake shoes etc but you car has handbrake on the calipers etc .good job done though 👌🙌 I did my xr2 mirror & cracked the screen 🙈🤣
Made me lmao that plate screw was clearly burning hot but you went in for a second and a third go at grabbing it 😂 keep the updates coming I'm looking forward to seeing some burnouts when it's done! 😊
Screw plastic weather protection caps them little flappy things are called Adam my mate haha.....!! And by the way, I love all your your videos, very entertaining....
Ford still haven't got number plate screws sorted try changing the rear plate on a 12 to 19 Kuga 🤣 As the aluminium insert rotates with the steel screw welded to it. Don't ask how I know !
Not a mechanic here. But those nuts that came out which where blue at the end. Is that threadlock ? If yes does it need redoing when you put the nuts back in ?

Adam, its refreshing to see somebody so relatable restoring a car on youtube. I love the mantra, "just having a go", words to live by.
Keep it up!
Cheers Christopher 👍🏼
Awesome stuff once again buddy. She lives
You go way beyond a general DIY guy. The content and presentation is spot on. So refreshing to see this not only being brought back to life but in its standard form looks.

copperslip on the mounting face of the disk stops the ally wheel oxidising and sticking to the hub
Yup was gonna say same thing. I always put a thin smear on as on some motors the wheels can be a pain to remove otherwise.
24:26, you can buy the rear view mirror stickers in Halfords.
This was so satisfying to watch... Especially the boot lock. Great work Adam
Fixing the rear lights took me back. I had a 2.0 GLSi back in the day. Those little pins were a nightmare 😊. Really miss that car.
You’re genuine persona is very humbling. Smashing content. I’m hooked.

This car is a real credit to you Adam and all your hard work. Great job!
Don't forget to check the rear number plate lights prior to the MOT.
He didn’t list them but you can see the reflection 👍
Hi Adam, really good to see you working on your car, keep up the great work, hopefully you will get your car sorted, thanks for sharing.

That's what I like to see, a good dollop of copper grease!!! 😉
It’s passed its MOT bois 🤙🏻 congrats Adam on all the work you did to get it to that point, can’t wait to see future videos of this beast 👌🏻
Great video Adam cossie has come such a long way can’t wait to see it finished and on the road
Cheers fella
Excellent progress mate good luck for the MOT
I recommend Lanoguard if you want to protect any metal from rusting especially moving parts such as wishbones and drop links, its easy to apply too and protects from surface rust
Adam did Lanoguard his other Cossie a year or two ago. Would be good to get an update on his thoughts on durability etc
Nice number plates. You could stick some soft pads on the back of them so it stops the plates from bowing when you press in the middle and ends of the plates. Coming on now and why did you not paint the back of the rear wheel hub carriers. When they were off the car. It just looks odd having new backplats, then rusty hub carriers and all new rear brakes?
He explains that in the video….?
This Sapphire is looking amazing now Adam, best wishes for the MOT 😊.
When you got the boot lock working I was expecting a big old “magic” lol. Keep up the good work Watching from edmonton Alberta canada

Great video Adam , love the journey of the cosworth , bringing it back to it’s for my glory 👍attention to detail is 100% good luck m8
Adam. Can you put some spot weld on the boot lid button. Then file it off flat to the correct thickness needed ?
I would’ve done the painting and shot blasting off the wheel hubs saves doing it twice when you have already got it off😊
Nice work man 👏 loved the wee workaround on the boot lock, no messing about 😁👍
Love the project binky approach to numberplate screws, you’ve got more patience than me fella
Only this will be finished 😂😂
24:20 No interior wing mirror .... Adam , your Interior WING is missing too :)
You make it look very easy Adam !
Class Adam loving this build, good luck with the m.o.t mate 🤞
Ford supplied specific double sided pads back in the day for fixing mirrors to windscreens. Hot weather with direct sunlight could sometimes cause you to end up with a mirror in your lap particularly if the adjustment ball had stiffened up.
Loving the lucky blow on the rear light connector 😂 great video matey 👌
5:49 no not at all. These small efforts add up in the end! Adam you are methodical and I'd not hesitate to recommend you if you were selling a car.
24:34 JB Weld.
Yet again Adam, youve cracked it. Love the content and hate it when youre finished 😢😢
Copper grease was put on the hub/disc to stop the wheel seizing on the hub.
Great bit of tinkering there.....nice rewarding little jobs all sorted......
Awesome content Adam, massive fan of the Cossie, great job 👍
I allways use silacone grease on my disk pads and caliper etc. The copper grease only minimizes the pads noise but it will help corrode that pads and surounding areas alot faster. With silacone grease it wont actually attract any moisture so pafs etc will live a ling life
Even the most mundane stuff is quite captivating lol. Enjoying all the videos.
Great work Adam!
You are doing a great job here 👍👍👍
Can’t get enough of these videos mate.
I had the exact same issue with my boot lock. Wouldn't push out far enough. So I bought a new boot lock off ebay, only issue is i have a different key for the boot.
I super glued a washer on my boot look when I had this problem was on a Orion I think or standard sierra lol
Hi did you check the rear number plate lights are working too
Tht bootlock fix was genius mate, cant wait to see it finished 👌
I think i fallen in love with you 😂😂😂 been watching this series and its been brilliant. I had a white e plate saph around 2006/7 and it was similar state to when you got this so it brings back great memories. Keep it up Adam
Best of luck with all the ongoing work on your Sierra fair play to ya mighty job 👌👌👌
Cheers Michael👍🏼
Great work, you seem like a humble fella
Adam, like your videos great content. I especially like that you don't have annoying music in the background like some others do👍
Always look forward to the next video update on this thing. You’ve smashed it so far Adam well In bud. Fingers crossed for the MOT
Glad you changed it so both number plate screw caps were white. Little Suprised you didnt just wirebrush and paint the Hub while it was off tho! Top Video all the same!
If I done the hub I would of done the rear arm, if I done the rear arm I would of done the rear beam, if I done the rear beam I would of done the floor 😂🙈
@@Adam151082 id watch that video 👍😂
Great Video 👍 I love watching you getting this back to mint condition.
Nice improvisation for the boot lock!
Great video on the cossie you got tonnes done and like you say Adam it’s nearly mot ready looking forward to the next video
Doing brilliant with this adam small wins always feel massive lol.....for your front fogs i always run a lower rating bulb fogs are 55w? So i put 10w in my gte/sri ect them look like 4 side lights ect more style drl ect ....doubt this be out in heavy fog lol cops never botherd me either
Awesome Adam! Yellow euro fog lenses would look boss on this 👍🏻
Absolutely loving these videos mate. 👍
Awsome job done👍

I'd say when putting copper slip on brakes you only need a small amount on contact areas.
Cheers
Really enjoying your journey mate 👍
Need to do the brake guards on the rear of my golf . Good luck with the mot
Good luck with the test mate.
Car has come on a long way from when you bought it as a tired bit of a dog.
Keep the standard wheels on it 😉
Like the boot lock fix
Those little jobs are the most satisfying to do! Good luck car for your MOT 😁👍
love your vids adam,number plate issue you can use counter sunk screws as they fit in screw caps better,the number plate tape is exactly the right thing for mirror,nice fix on boot catch mate,good luck with mot!
Hi Adam what torque wrench do you use?
This car is brilliant this car is defo worth doing the underneath next year fella👌🏻
Hi Adam absolutely love ur content uve come so far and ur doing brilliant , i had a white sapphire cosworth F450 KEC wen i was 20 years old I'm now 39 , i paid 3600 for it and although I've had several other cosworths after this 1 i wish I'd of kept my 1st 1 but i sold it to pay for my hgv licence don't even know if its still on the road now
Could always try glueing a couple of 5pences together to add onto the lock. Might be enough to engage it
Seal the boot lid up and put it on a solenoid remote open. Surely that is way cleaner and easier ? I could be wrong
Hi great job but you don’t need the back plates for mot unless they are used for mounting brake shoes etc but you car has handbrake on the calipers etc .good job done though 👌🙌 I did my xr2 mirror & cracked the screen 🙈🤣
Methodically working your way through it mate 👍
“Clag it” to the windscreen
That’s a real North East saying Adam 👍😁
Made me lmao that plate screw was clearly burning hot but you went in for a second and a third go at grabbing it 😂 keep the updates coming I'm looking forward to seeing some burnouts when it's done! 😊
Screw plastic weather protection caps them little flappy things are called Adam my mate haha.....!!
And by the way, I love all your your videos, very entertaining....
if i ever get the chance this is on my bucket list to do fingers crossed
Great video i am sure it will pass the MOT did you check the rear number plate lights I am sure you did
Ford still haven't got number plate screws sorted try changing the rear plate on a 12 to 19 Kuga 🤣 As the aluminium insert rotates with the steel screw welded to it. Don't ask how I know !
Another awesome video , what impact gun do you use ?
Top video mate - production values really professional…👍
Was the engine u bought for sapphire Adam sorry if I'm wrong thought existing engine was nackered again apologise if I got that wrong
Little tip put blue chalk on bumper to Mark for holes great content😂
What’s the crack with the wildlife in the background lol class video mate keep it up
“How hard can it be … “ hehe ace attitude … 😁👍
A mate of mine took a sharpie to half colour in the screw covers to match the plate.
As the engine moves so does the tail pipe
Pretty certain as long as you have two door mirrors you don't need an interior mirror for MOT.
Adam when will you upload? Barz school
Nice work Adam,
Is that a set of Hockenheims I spot lad?
Some mint fixes you made there mate - well done
Why didn't you use the reg plate tape for the reg plates
Not a mechanic here. But those nuts that came out which where blue at the end. Is that threadlock ? If yes does it need redoing when you put the nuts back in ?
Yes, it does....
Do you not have a 3/8 socket set ??
Loving this series, doing a great job 👍🏼
Seen as you have the front reg plate now do you still like me to sort the mot out. Freebie just for the saph
Dont forget copper grease either for the brakes
