I think the way you have both built up your channel and your stance on swearing and abuse is spot on, respect to you both
Totally Agree Richard
Wow. That takes me back. I was the Manufacturing Engineer for those wheels. Made at Ford New Zealand and shipped to the UK. Good to see they’ve stood the test of time.
I’d really like to see you finish both the RS Turbo and the RS 2000 then enter them in a classic car auction. It would make interesting content and ensure you get full value for all your hard work.
I really like the idea of that!it would Be very interesting indeed
That would be awesome
Shame they didn't Finnish the cosworth that was an awesome car I was well into.
Awesome idea 💡 👏
Flippers
Loved these videos on the RS. Took me back to when I was a teenager (long time ago). Thanks so much for this series and all the other videos Rob and Chris, have a fantastic 2022.
Cars that make you smile, have loved every minute of this project, sad to see it go but there is always something better to come!! Good job guys. 👍😁
Hi Rob/Chris love the work you do on the channel with cars happy new year to both off you and hope 2022 is a good year for your business and stay safe
Hello Rob and Chris.
That escort will make a lovely'ready for the Spring' project.😎
I thank you for your 'family friendly' policy and all your 'behind the scene' work with the cars and with RUclips.
From a snowy Central France,
Cordialement,
We just drove back from the Creuse yesterday, absolute blizzard when we left, saw quite a few cars on their sides in ditches ☹️
this year is going to be good for you and chris some good builds will look forward to them all
Someone will bite your hands off for this, an appreciating classic, great job again guys.
Nice to see the RS again. £10k is a good price for the car and all the parts. Someone will get a really good, solid car for that price. Also, nice work on the workshop, nice and tidy. Keep up the good work Rob and Chris.
I would have like to see them take it to a Classic car display and they would have obtained a serious buyer.
The alloys look so much better Rob. Always best to keep classic models as original. Only increases the value!
Excellent job guys,Rob as you mentioned in this video,this car could benefit from a complete respray.The value on these vintage vehicles is on the increase.
Made a total difference getting the wheels done, and you could see the transformation as you were washing it Rob! Great content again guys!! Have a good weekend 👍
Despite never having really been into cars (I'm 49 and they've always been an A-B thing for me, although I've had several VWs (Golfs and Polos) and really appreciate the build quality and reliability), I love this channel and the way you guys go about your business. Absolutely brilliant. A few months ago, one of the camper van videos (I'd love to have one at some point) appeared in the suggestions column, and I've been hooked ever since.
I now work as a self employed guitar technician providing repairs, maintenance, mods, refurbs, buying, selling, you name it, and, as a result of seeing how professional you are, the methods you employ, the ethos etc, have improved and enhanced my own methods and approach, and have seen the benefits via increased sales etc. How many of us would love to be as skilled and accomplished as Chris is in our chosen field?!
I also appreciate the amount of effort you both put into the videos, and how interesting they always are. I always look forward to 5ish pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.......
With a car like this Escort, it must be incredibly difficult determining the balance between sentimentality and sound business practice. For what it's worth, I think you've got it right. You've still got to eat, and a £2000 paint job plus waiting time at this point is unrealistic, as Rob highlighted. I think that the effort you've already put in, along with the package you're offering is a pretty good deal for someone who has the time, money and enthusiasm to put into finishing the project.
Keep them coming!
What a gorgeous car - 10k is very reasonable price given the work you done - More importantly you saved an icon and gave her another 20 years !
Our Ford Dealer in Letterkenny only ever sold one RS Turbo Escort in 1988 - Our father bought it around 1995 - we had it for around 6 months and sold it on - we were the second owners - It was red (pink) and once we used cutting compound and polish it absolutely gleamed - one of my biggest regrets was not buying her ! I often wonder where she ever ended up ! Seeing yours just brings me back - Well done love the channel !
Looks fantastic. So jealous as anyone that grew up in 90s wanted one of them!
Another great video thanks Rob and Chris. Always look forward to Friday evening. Even better now I’m having to isolate this week!
Lovely job on the RS boys. Definitely the right thing to do getting those wheels sorted. The RS is an investment at £10k and only going up in value. Looking forward to up and coming content this year. You should be on tv with your own show
been watching some episodes of Wheeler Dealers over the holidays, those guy's can't hold a candle to you two. fantastic content and so well produced, the pair of you should feel very proud of yourselves, keep 'em coming :)
keep as is guys you do a great job interacting with us all,some other channels could learn a lot for the pair of you,quality content as per normal
Great video as always chaps!
I think your outro was very nicely explained especially being family friendly and no swearing.
Nice one Rob! Think you've done the right amount of work to get the RS back on the road and for the new owner to finish to their liking. Looking forward to the next one 👍
proper video as ever! thanks again Rob and Chris!
Excellent Rob and Chris, she's looking lovely. Also I can't believe how much bigger the red Fiesta looks parked next to it, how times have changed.
We said the same lol 👍
That fiesta looks well
Love your acting in the sopranos paulie your a real G!
@@MrThegenral1 Historically speaking, he was never a ‘G’ , just a glorified ‘U’.
Classic 80s escort !!
Been a blast watching the videos on the escort RS turbo, but it got to be time to let it go now? Someone nay completely restore it !!
Good content yet again !
Will sell easy ...prices on all classics are rocketing, just seeing the escort reminds me of my RS days ..Good times🚗💨💨
Rob, there will DEFINITELY be interest in the RST, it's probably one of the most sort after cars right now
Hello Rob and Chris. Another great video and the escort looks great. Brings back a lot of memories from the 80’s.
A great project for the new owner.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Those wheels make it look a lot better now. Great content as usual Rob and Chris - Ignore the haters.
I applaud your stance on swear words, unlike some mobile mechanic who can not put four words together without a swear word, well done to both of you.
😂😂😂I know who you mean. The one dripping in oil?
You're soft lol. I do not swear, but if other people do, what's the problem? Grow up, stop being a child.
Hi Rob and Chris, another great video, love your attention to detail on ensuring these classic Fords are put back to original, 10k is excellent value for this project, in the right hands this can be finished to a very good standard. If I had 10k + storage unit I would love to take it on, better return than any pension and with smile on your face every time you drove it. 🙏 please keep on with the old fast ford projects guys 👍
Car looks spot on, great work to get it back on the road. Will make a perfect little project for someone & good to see it back on the road
Love these old rs turbos reminds me of my younger years wish I kept mine yous have done a good job putting another classic back on the road saved from the crusher will sell easily at that price seen worse go for more good job lads keep it up
Defo worth 10k allday rob and chris, love the content allways a pleasure to watch these videos, canot wait for the others classics etc to come on the channel, doing job both of u 2 👌👌
I would be surprised if it does not sell with all that work done.
An easy project to finish off and like you say rob they are going up in value all the time.
You can't go wrong buying it at that price.
Hi Rob and Chris yet again a great video thankyou take care both 😄
Another lovely update video. I think your asking price for the Escort is an excellent price given all that’s included. Happy New Year, thanks for the ongoing efforts in providing quality content. Stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏽🙂
Totally agree Rob, those wheels were doing my head in as were the bonnet vents and, even though there's a shade difference on the bonnet vents it looks so much better already. Great work guys, have a good weekend 👍🏻
What a beaut of a motor. Really well done on this one. As a mk4 Escort owner myself, I was personally invested in this project. 10k is a really reasonable price to put this up for. I hope you get it. Well done lads.
Happy new year rob and Chris. What a great video and what a car someone's getting a bargain for 10k.
Great to see it bought to a great stage for the next owner and out the door, makes sense to keep the turnover going on cars - also agree, no need for profanity, far too much of that around already! Have a great weekend
Those wheels completely transform it. Right decision. Looks superb.👍
Definitely looked better with the wheels refurbished & it looks ready to go Definitely worth the money you are asking for it here's looking forward to the next video 👍
The best channel on RUclips so interesting to watch! You guys are doing a great job!
Really refreshing to see your stance on being respectful to others and avoiding crude/bad language. Your integrity really stands out.
A classic like this is definitely a great investment, I remember in the late 90s a mint Sierra Cosworth was about £7k, now over £30k!
Thank god it’s Friday and another episode from Salvage Rebuilds! Perfect!
Wheels are a massive improvement. Love the RS content takes me back to my youth had 2 Mercury Grey S2’s.
I have read alot the comments and like the idea of putting (the right car) through a Classic Car action, it would be really great content. Keep up the great work and happy New Year from Thailand.
This car could be brought up to concours with the right owner investing the time in it. You have done all the mechanical works, and there is a Pandora’s box full of valuable original parts to take it back to stock. An old friend of mine who is a real RS nut, has had all the RS models from new, and I still remember driving his RS Turbo back in the day 😎 this car was an amazing find, the content on its recommissioning has been awesome 👏😎
Brilliant car Rob and right decision. I cant be the only person who wants to see the car put through its paces at this stage and see you smile 😁
Nice little Friday video on a classic from my youth. Have a great weekend guys.
Great video as always. I completely understand where you are going with the Escort - makes perfect sense. People should understand you are running a business and cannot always accommodate their personal like / dislikes. Let alone keep up with the comments! I think you are doing a fantastic job!
Hi rob and chris congratulations on reaching 230,000 subscribers and well done for all your hard work in the last year and looking forward to seeing what you buy and what projects you get in 2022
Another quality turnaround, such a good variety of classic/current project’s all done to perfection, no shady work or swearing, as usual , refreshing work and so good in this day and age,🚗🚗🚗.
Great following this build…. Definitely the right decision on the wheels…. I painted out the centres on a set of Opel rostyles back in 1980 which was the thing then but not cool in the 21st century…… Keep up the good work….
Defo bettef with the wheels done, id love to see it finished with paint but letting it go i suppose yous can crack on with other ongoing projects u have, good luck lads 👍👍
Nice one guys, good to get the Escort back to ‘roadworthy’. Will make a solid project for someone. Looking forward to progress on the later RS2000. Good content as always.
Great video as always. I total agree with no swearing or abuse on your channel thanks to both of you.
Just love what you have done to the RS and doing the wheels as you said just makes the car. I would add the orange indicators and spot lights and yes they are rare those Carrello branded units, I threw a set of those out years ago when I removed them of my car. Good luck with the sale and worth every penny of what you want for it👍
Best channel on youtube keep at it rob and chris
Right thing to do guys and will make a lovely rolling project, hopefully for a genuine enthusiast. I also think you are being wise to rationalise the vintage fleet. These kind of jobs are nice to see, but when turnover is the key, they don't usually fit the bill. Pleased to know you have put so much effort into keeping it clean, it makes so much difference to the viewing experience.
Looks gd that rs rob and your smack on with them wheels you both should be proud off all your hard work 👍
Looks great guys, much better with all the aftermarket stuff removed 👍
The Escort has been a great watch and hope the new owner can let you guys in on their plans/results and it is at a really keen price. As to the swearing, I just cannot understand how RUclipsrs and their watchers can show themselves up and be so puerile in public. Admire all you do and cannot ever wait for new content. Happy New Year Guys. Bob.
Lovely car, great running restoration project for someone. Keep up the great work 👍
This channel always makes my day and always leaves me with a me smiling to myself
Hi Rob,what a great video,this is a tidy Escort RS,the wheels do look alot better sprayed the silver colour.just washing the car has made the paint whiter.the parts with it,some are hard to find now.
Love the fact you are selling it for a really fair price to give someone a chance of hanging on to it for the future. Such genuine fellas 2k pre tax everyone benefits 👍👍👍
Lovely job as always. She's a beautiful motor, and worth every penny. Many thanks for the excellent content - very enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing the restoration of the wheels, I shared some memorabilia with Warwick Howland about manufacturing plant based in New Zealand with regard to those wheel rims ( Alloys ).
Good luck with selling the car.
😁😄👍👌🙌
Another good one, it struck me on the side view how big the windows are compared to the modern cars with the high shoulder line. I remember them back in the day and a great finishing project for someone and investment!
Lot of ppl saying that they would love to see you finish
But I totally see your point rob
If you both get a profit out of it work away
It’s better than leaving it lying up 2-3 months waiting on paint
Besides it’s a good project for someone to finish off 👍 👍
Always a pleasure to watch guys!! Thumbs up!!
This channel what you and Chris do is just great. I look forward in seeing the next one . 👍
You’re doing the right thing letting it go. Sorry to see it go all the same but sometimes it’s for the best. You’re both smart guys knowing when to stick or twist.
nice job again lads good to see the classics back out on the roads.
Great Job Chris!
Love to see the RS Turbo,looks amazing :D
you done great job lads loving your videos all the way from France reminds me of banging around London in my rs back in the day
Great video guy’s . Keeping a classic on the road is a brilliant thing 👍
Been binge watching for the last 3 days and absolutely loving it,
I reckon you need to do a t-shirt with “lovely little car” printed on the front.
The massive visual difference just doing them alloys has made😍 its a stunning car and going to be a good investment for someone. Brill work as usual rob & chris 👏🏻
Rob, Chris , nice video, and a lovely car. I’m sure you’ll have no problem in selling it, as it is. As usual your work and attention to detail is first class.
Looking forward to Monday already.
Have a great weekend gents.
Looks like a lovely car, someone will enjoy it for years to come. At 10k its a steal :D
You are launching that one as an excellent basis for someone who really wants an Escort RS Turbo to make their own, either using the parts or selling them on to someone who lusts after them. £10,000 sounds a great price point at which to pitch it, to get it moving on, leaving you with both a profit and a space on the schedule. With the work you did, you can sell it with a clear conscience that the new owner has every chance to get it home safely, before starting to perform any modifications they want, and refresh the paintwork. That should put in some real money.
Loved watching this video guys, brings back great memories of back in the day, friend had white one great days,loads of fun thanks again guys
I feel like you're part of the family guys, the way you just naturally chat on the channel is great, want a cup of tea next time I put the kettle on lol. BTW - 10k for the Escort is a great price, someone is going to be very lucky.
I do think you have made the right decision on this car. I know this sounds obvious but you are not primarily a classic car restoration business. I think it was good to do the wheels i know that people can get varying results when having them done at different places so that is one less job for the new owner. They might want to put the door locks in as well so you having it painted might hinder that. I would also say that is a fair price for what us now a smart motor with all the work you gave done. I am glad you mentioned the swearing, I know there is at least one minor who subscribes to this channel and there could be more (only know because they mentioned their age). Thanks Rob and Chris for another good video and we look forward to whatever comes our way this year.👍👍
Great video as always Rob and Chris. Have a great weekend guys
Nice to hear you are not going down the bag language route, make a great change in this day and age
Another great video you guys and the RS brings back memories of my Series 1
Probably the best car vlog on RUclips 👍👍👍👍
GREAT CONTENT GUYS ,rs looks great and a good price for the car STAY SAFE!!!!!👍👍👍👍
Nice that you keep your channel child friendly 👍. Great content as always
Great content guys and that's a great car for £10k. You'll have no trouble selling that. Good luck with it.
Hi, Hope it sales well for guys, and that was bang on!! the right thing to do with those wheels. Thanks for the vid.
Good video Rob, the series 2 will get you good money. The battery cover is a must on these cars.
Another great video, and the RS is looking great and have to say I’d definitely fit the orange indicators.
Watched all of the ads, thanks for the great content, wish you guys a happy new year!!
Much appreciated 👍
People who say this RS should have been fully restored forget this is your living and not self indulgence just because you're fans and owned them in your youth.
Nice to see the wheels repainted though.
Totally agree with your family friendly policy and if people want to be abusive, let them go elsewhere.
You guys are good humoured and have banter but are always respectful and your channel deserves equal respect, in my opinion.
A great channel and you guys deserve all your success.
Cheers.
Great channel love watching you pair and I’ll say it again what a great team you make 👍
And why would people want to swear on here ??? Just crazy !
All the best boys 👍
