We needed to see more Adam - no point having a car like this without ragging the arse out of it properly for us to enjoy. One of my fav cars ever - always wanted a mk2 with circa 500bhp and a similar set up to this for track days, wouldn't have this colour but doesnt make me any less envious watching it
That sounds absolutely wicked 🔥..really cool looking aswell..just such a shame they don't make cars like this no more..awesome machine..hope your doing good adam..
Lovely, for me, you just can't beat a fully sorted Mk2, I bet it raises a few eye brows on the track with that sort of power too, amazing machine. Keep finding things like this Adam😊
If the colour is TNT EXPRESS its the original colour of the General Lee from "Dukes of Hazard which was used to eliminate reflections of camera crew when General Lee drove past, was kept a closely guarded secret til about 3 years ago and was from "TNT EXPRESS" Delivery trucks hence the paint name
Hi Adam, very nice car & very nice preparation. But personally do not like any YB turbos in Escorts...it has to be n/a first, so BDG on fuel injection or Millington Diamond with roller barrel throttle... Just check out 'Frank Kelly Rallying' for the ultimate spec MK2 & proper ragging the arse out of it...nice👍.
@@rastaralph7154 Probably on a par if not worse than what we all have to put with in the uk due to general poor surfaces, surveillance and pot holes everywhere which makes the driving experience is massively reduced owning a performance car now.
@@MattyBrad people used to spray hair spray on their number plates to reflect the numbers when it flashes. Don't know if that still works but worth a try 👍
That thing is beyond wild, I knew I should have came with yous that day you went filming after the breakfast meet lol, cass has few nice things in his stable btw
If you don't fancy knitting an old Escort shell back together with MIG wire, MST motorsports now offer new Mk1s & Mk2s, but they aren't allowed to call them Escorts. Need deep pockets though, as a decent spec car starts at about £70k.
I must be a car guy. It’s awesome and I’d love to have a spin in it. Well done with the video and keep them coming. Ps I hope all is well with you and your getting things sorted and ya life back on track 👍👍
Like and subscribe fellas help the Brother out. He needs to get back on his feet after another LADY destroyed another life. ( we all been there ) if you haven’t give it time
Sounds exactly like a rally car, my mate used to rally a sapphire cossie that sounded the same inside, headsets were the best for talking normally in it 😂
My first MKII was a 1.3GL, 4 door in Gold. Ended it's life the same as most, in Wales, in a lane, over a humpback bridge, up a bank, through a hedge, into a field. Tried sledging the inner wings and pulling it out with ropes, too far gone. Scrap it, strip the parts, onto the next! You can have a lot of fun in one of these without going so far as to make it too loud and impractical to enjoy for more than 10 mins at a time, those smiles quickly turn to headaches and sore bones unless you're on a smooth as glass track with ear plugs and a lid, must be what he bought that for, not for the streets. Motorsport Tools road car is the way to go if you want a mint one and have the money ruclips.net/video/q67PqdNWuWU/видео.html
Could put sound deadening and carpet in and still be a quick car. Gone are the days of all the noise inside. Does your swede in after a while all that noise. Good fun though
Hi Adam, enjoy your vids. Have you seen that 3 door cosworth race shell on Salvage rebuilds uk channel a few weeks back (buying a really rare 90s classic ford). Thanks
I think only car guys will understand why this car is sooo cool!! 😎👌🏼
My mum would think its cool. Nice colour, dream build.
Lets his car do the talking, 😎🙏👊👍✌
Saw a mk2 today and could not get over how small they are compared to modern cars. Remember them being common!
Absolutely bonkers but in a good way!!
Grew up in these cars absolutely loved my childhood my dad had most fast ford tbf
Gallagher and Gibbs….thats had the right people working on it. Fantastic build and no better toy to have. Awesome.
What a weapon, the workmanship is amazing.
That sequential gearbox though...
👏👏👍👍
it's my new bedtime asmr along with some old b class stuff. sleep like a baby I swear😂😂

I had a 1979 Mk 2 Escort 1600 Sport in the mid 80's in that colour.......ahh memories.....!!.
One of the most amazing looking Fords I have seen. The black door handles really suit it on that orange colour.
I had a signal orange Mk2 back in the 90s. Very similar to this but a 1300 with 2 extra doors and roughly 400 hp less! Great fun nonetheless.
Now that is a MK2 weapon. Has everything on it and in the correct colour TNT orange! Fantastic.
Now we're talking, mk2 with a cozy..... cheers lads 😎🙏👊👍✌
Great car still looking good I'm the man who originally built it you bought it off my brother in law Sean many happy days to enjoy it
I remember these bad boys flying past me on the A127 on a Saturday night in the early 00s ,unreal !👍💪😉
What a build and the noise from the gearbox is awesome anything touched by AG is a beast
This thing would embarrass the hell out of all the RS500 's on your channel 😎
What awesome bit of kit the smiles say it all !!!
That sounds absolutely wicked 🔥..really cool looking aswell..just such a shame they don't make cars like this no more..awesome machine..hope your doing good adam..
Wicked motor !! Insurance …”Has it been modified?”…nope all stock. Lol . Live the channel Ad👍🏻🤘🏻🚘
Lovely, for me, you just can't beat a fully sorted Mk2, I bet it raises a few eye brows on the track with that sort of power too, amazing machine.
Keep finding things like this Adam😊
Really nicely done. Brilliant engine & gearbox in a very nice shell. Be a riot on track.
All classic and non classic vehicles welcome, AT lincolnshire wolds railway. Just off the A16 louth road lincolnshire. 20th July 11 - 3 please share.
Miss seeing these cars haven’t seen a p100 with a cossie lump in ages 🔥
Soon as I heard that box I smiled
Old Ford’s don’t die , they just go faster 😊
Love it! Proper weapon is that. Thanks marra
I love this crazy orange car. Would I want it, and the accompanying racket? No thanks!
This is what it's about, mental! Cheers Adam!
what a cracking looking car looks insane
Now that's a proper built car 😎
Good too see you smiling Adam ❤

Like u said adam it just sounds like a proper race car just like touring cars amazing
Thats absolutely gorgeous man. Just beautiful.
Mate, that’s next level 🤯

That's a beautiful beast mate. Always a pleasure to watch your video's Adam!
What a fantastic motor👌🏻
Would of been good to see it on a decent road giving it some bean's 💚💛❤️
No decent roads in Scotland outside the highlands.
@@rabmc I know I've been. There's a nice bit on the way to Inverness next to the Sea though. I went up on a Megabus 👍💚💛❤️

@@rabmcSpeed camera heaven going to Inverness. Could easily of lost my license by the time I got to the hotel.

American here love these that never got here in the states. Respect. What wheels and specs please?
Those are 15" Revolution 5 spokes, pretty sure he said 9" wide on the back and 8" on the front.
I’m currently building something very similar except I’m using a tractive sequential box so won’t be as noisy.
That thing is beyond wild, I knew I should have came with yous that day you went filming after the breakfast meet lol, cass has few nice things in his stable btw
What a weapon, incredible ❤

I’d happily daily that, what a car 👍🏻.
Best car you have featured to date 😎😎

By the look on his face at times he’s scared of that car😮
Getting the badge in as well 👊

My dream build car
Nice motor
A Geordie & a Scot;
The Septics are going to ask for subtitles on this video.
It's nice mind
Should sell all adam buy mk2 from mst to your spec
Get the badge in.😂😂
With the greatest possible respect I have a feeling that 99% of the time that thing will be absolutely horrible to drive 🤣
Probably, it's a bit OTT, for a while my dream car was a Metro 6R4 till i found out it'd be absolute torture to drive on the road.
Aye most hardcore cars built for rallying or track driving aren't build for comfort! stunning colour with all the right noises :)
now that's what you call a car
Mad 😂
