A lot has happened since our last video a week or so ago with the MK2 Focus RS! We're going to town on this with the absolutely massive help from Ash! I wouldn't have gone to anywhere near the extent that Ash made me so you can all thank him!!
Hope you guys enjoy!

probably the most satisfying series i'm following on YT right now.
Benji you are brill with the spanners now pal. Really enjoyed that, cars coming along nicely now
Thanks mate! She’s looking a lot better definitely 👍🏼
Will be sad to see the end of this series... What an amazing job Ben!! Fair play for admitting to your cock ups (which happens to us all) 👍
Thanks mate much appreciated! 👍🏼
Always great when youve got a good rapport with your best mate! Even if he is mute! Apart from 4 letter words!
🤣🤣🤣
From shirt and tie to grafting Ben lad just shows you doing something your enjoying is worth it all 👍
Hmmm… I did graft in a shirt and tie too in fairness 🤣👍🏼 thanks mate
Ben and Ash becoming a good team.
I'm liking his Astra can we get summit going with that big turbo build 😁
It’s not his unfortunately. He sold it to his mate a while ago 😢
@@EVILGT shame those old Skool builds were mad
Ash is a great addition to your vids Ben ,you getting a right grease monkey...he he...Loving the content.
Agreed! Thanks mate 👍🏼
Iv'e got a plain ol 1.6 focus and its interesting watching this series to see what is different and the same between the two models.
Dropped the rear subframe to replace all the arms and had a hell of a time too. This was on the drive which didn't help, had to chop all the old bolts off with grinder as all the bushes had siezed.
Had same issue too lining up the trailing arms after pressing the new bushes in, ended up using a ratchet strap from the from subframe to pull the arm forward enough. Real PITA!
Good series of videos, never owned a fast ford (or fast anything for that matter). After watching so far i think it'll stay that way!
Benji your proper legend ...Can't believe how handy your getting on the tools....You'll be attempting Matt Armstrong level car rebuilds soon...And you'll be at a million subs.
I’m not sure I have the patience for that sort of stuff. 🤣 thanks mate 👍🏼
Ash is the man, you cannot beat looking under a car and the running gear is spotless 💪 big up the you too Ben 🍻, plenty of certificates done now 😊
Thanks mate 👍🏼
You defo need some ‘Grumpy Mechanic’ merch like hoodies and hats, lol
Absolutely 🤣👌🏼
There's always some levering of some sort, just don't lighten anything up until it's all fitted together.
You’re getting good with the spanners Ben. Love to see a new Evil GT vid appearing. Best tube channel by far, keep up the good work. 👍👍👍
Thanks mate! Much appreciated! 🍻
Uncle Benji, U and Ash are great to watch and you clearly have great a friendship so long may it continue...In time I think Ash should wear one of Lee's coats as well so Papa Leeroy isn't forgotten on screen...lol...😂😂 Superb work by u both again on the MK2 Focus RS and 🎩 🎩 off to u both!!!...👏🏻👏🏻🦸♂️🦸♂️💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Looks 100% better, underside nice and fresh. You beable to make some money on this Ford
Genuinely look forward to every video that comes out on this car. Brilliant 👏👏👌
Thanks very much! 👍🏼
Ash is piss funny without even trying
Go on lad propa getting down and dirty. Literally just ordered maself a press to bang in the shed too! Cant wait. One thing though Ben, please get a torque wrench lets get some clicks going. Also get a compressor and get on to Vixen Surface treatments. M539 Restorations has one and they're UK based and do sick cleaning stuff to sort car parts out.
I’ve been looking into this mate yeah 👍🏼
Tara Ash 🤣 Cracking video Benji RS looks awesome …
Thanks mate… who knows 👀🤷🏼♂️
Loving the new style of content your banging out benji and can tell Ash loves being around by the way he pumps the press 😂 👍
🤣🤣🤣 thanks mate 👍🏼
The banter with ash is quality 😂. Great job with the car
Thanks mate 👍🏼
20 years ago that’d be 46k miles and everyone’s a winner baby
01925 in the place 😂
Great content as always Ben as always, you’ve got some good friend behind you to help out and people you knowI……you won’t agree with this but Ash is definitely one of them.. and finally, the car is starting to now Look the dogs bollocks 😊
Thanks mate. He’s alright I suppose 🤣👍🏼
Ben your smashing it mate 👍 the Rs is like brand new! you must be knackered the work your putting into the channel but we all appreciate it mate, top quality 🙌🙌 Ash is also a Star in the making 👍
Glad you’re enjoying the videos mate. Ash is brilliant but shhhhh don’t tell him 👀😅👍🏼
@@EVILGT 🤣😂👍
The reg onit is spot on
Cracking content! Ash is becoming a legend. Some people seek greatness for their own gain, some have greatness thrust upon them and perform great. Some have greatness without knowing, Ash, don't ever change :) I like seeing Benji getting rialled by your natural demeanour.
Got to love ash
Brilliant well done Ben , these MK 2 RS and the ST’s are bringing silly money now so whatever you’ve spent on it you’ll get it back 10times over , you’ll need a filing cabinet soon for all your certificates lol 😂🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
🤣🤣🤣 bloody hope so! Thanks mate 👍🏼
Terrific video. Excellent content with very clever editing. The car's looking pretty cool as well.
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Spanner’s out every episode ..Ford life lol , hope you get a tool sponsor mate
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Fair play for doing big jobs like that AND filming too. Having a go though Ben! Well done pal. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thanks mate 🙏🏻
Your doing a great job with the cars. 1 thing to mention though is the front wheel bearings on a focus have a special tool to press them in because you cant press on the hub they way you have in the vid as it puts pressure on the bearing and fcuks it. If you google it you should see what i mean. I know as i work in a garage and have pressed them in without the tool and a couple of months later they come back with knackered bearings again haha.
Ash needs to lose his on cam virginity and do a solo video 😂 you’ve got a top lad there you’re both doing a cracking job 👌🏼
Thanks mate 👍🏼🤣
Jesus man you even got a smile from Ash
Also, stick a screwdriver in the disk and rest against the caliper to do up the disk bolts 👌
Nice upload, this channel is my desert to Matt Armstrong’s channel. I don’t bother following any other motoring channels now 👍🏻
I think there’s a compliment in there somewhere 🤣 thanks mate 👍🏼
Once again excelling yourself with your mekanik skills. Master Tech Benji... completed it mate
Haha thanks mate 👍🏼
Nice gents really enjoying the content!
Hi, what for bearings you have ordered?
Ford will give me only the complete suspension part...
get urself some decent tools uncle benji 🤣🤣
I’m saving up 🤣👍🏼
Love the old gtc
Boss episode Ben, great work , well done❤️💪🤟🤘👌
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Always make me smile watching your vids ben, tell ash to man up and turn that frown upside down 😂
Haha thanks mate 👍🏼
Great video. You guys are doing a fantastic job on this build.
You feeling ok? 👀 Thanks mate 🤣👍🏼
@@EVILGT a little woosy 🤷♂️😂
hes one angry guy you don't wanna mess with lol
Good effort Ben 👍🏻 looks awesome
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Good work Ben.. 💪..nice job done..iv got an old st mondeo ford's love rusting up...satisfying seeing the finish 👏 👌 👍
Thanks mate! 👍🏼
6:29 not going to lie it’s as good as a mk1 ford escort underneath, covered in hammerite paint in need of a restoration. Sorry boys but it’s hard to ignore it. I would have just spray painted the wheel arches white.
As I mentioned in the previous video. At 146,000 miles it’s not the right car to be doing a full nut and bolt restoration. We’ve done the best with what we had without spending way more money than the cars worth. I never claimed it was perfect but it’s definitely miles better 👍🏼
It’s actually turning out alright getting to the end of the video and Iv just seen you fit the wheel arch liners back in so yeah, I guess no point paint in white to be honest. ❤❤ keep it up mate you doing well.
Another great watch 👍🏼ash is quality, throwing some serious cash at this Rs though 🤔
Tell me about it! Absolutely skint! 😅👍🏼
Just noticed, the rear shocks are exactly the same as a 2012 mazda 3!
Mazda 3 and Volvo C30 too I believe mate yeah. A lot of parts shared
Superb vid........ Sign Ash up😂
Thanks mate!! 👍🏼
Can you please let me know where you got replacement hub kit bearing. Thanks
Is this getting raffled?????
Take wheels and springs off then jack hub up to ride height then tighten all arms etc
Probably at the rate it’s costing 🤦🏼♂️
great work lads, its so annoying when you put something back together the realise youve done something wrong and have to take it apart again😥 the rs has come such a long way, by ash 😂👍😀
Hey! 👀 he’s been there occasionally 🤣
Get ash to do some Vauxhall donuts and burn outs evil gt
🥳🍻🍻
Very enjoyable as always 👍
Was this car stored underwater before you got it , can't believe how bad some of it got.
Great to see you giving it some love and bringing it back to life 👍🏻
Looks like it doesn’t it! Real bad!
Some so called premium brands are taking the piss, they put in a lovely interior and that's what people think makes a quality car but the rest is shit. Audi is brutal for this.
Every car has its price. What would you sell it for? No raffle let me buy it hahaha
It owes us way more than it’s worth 🤷🏼♂️
The day I realised I was nearly becoming a adult (at35) was getting my Costco card 👌😂
🤣🤣 class 👌🏼
Where did you get the press for £140? Cheers
EBay I think it was mate 👍🏼
Mint, cheers I’ll have a look
Super model time
This is a hard comment to make as i love your channel and the work youve put in to the focus is unreal... but matt black raptor paint would have looked factory on the underside. Looks like its been lathered in wax oil.... 😢. Dont hate me 🙈.. probably get slated for saying this 😂
In fairness, factory would have been a rust brown paint 🤣👌🏼
@EVILGT 😄... sorry man, felt bad for giving a negative. Doesn't stop me watching, content is great!
Has Ash taken over from Lee now then Ben
Looks like that but isn’t like that if that makes any sense 🤣🤷🏼♂️
Foken hell lads
❤
Deffo rs tax 🤣
So allways buy the best tools you can afford... Good tools are expensive for a reason... Halfords all the way 😅
🤘😎🤘🚙💨
Get the best tools you can afford 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
See ya later Ash 🤣
No press needed to take old bearings out. Just run a bead of mig weld round the bearing then it will just fall out.. Use your brain....
Are you a welder? I don’t have a welder and never even used one so even if I knew that I wouldn’t have a clue how to weld 🤷🏼♂️ can you weld them back in or would I need a press for that?… hmmm… probably makes sense to get a press then I suppose. Use your brain 🤦🏼♂️
Should it not have been white underneath? Or was it always black?
I know Ford’s are shite rust-buckets. But I wonder where this car spent most of its life? Somewhere wet! I suspect.
Thought it’d look tidier black mate 👍🏼
It may be but I have a cleaner 147000 mile rs focis😮
Has Lee officially left the channel now?
Yes
Lee will always be Evil GT 💪🏼
Adverts in sections is a wank idea
My retention doesn’t think so and neither does the company paying to keep this RUclips channel going 🤷🏼♂️👍🏼
Kate bush
Ads are annoying...
But necessary 🤷🏼♂️
Looking good ben, this contents awesome bro 👍🏻
Thanks mate 👍🏼
