Amazing Ford Escort!!!! In Brazil we had the XR3 with a Renault-Cleon based engine so-called CHT with 1.6L, making around 85hp, later on it was fitted with a Vw/Audi EA-827 1.8l with around 100hp, making the car more sporty and a better competitor to the Vw Gol GTi, and Chevrolet Kadett GSi. and with the new face-lifted version it had the 2.0 Vw Ea-827 with around 110hp. It's a great car!
These were sold in mk3 escort in nordic. Mk3 escort with better seats and monroes shocks. Engine CHT (renault) 5spd in 1.3 and 1.6 ("1.4 and 1.5")
Chtzinho formula mano❤❤
mano Brasil e com s

Aqui no Brasil, nos anos 90, o XR3 era o carro do momento
I love your channel so much man. Rescuing old cars, no annoying personality or shitty ads. Just pure content, thank you
Согласен, без рекламы смотреть всегда приятно!

Excellent. These old Fords never die. Even when the body is rusty they can be patched up. I hope this one gets to live again.
Truly indestructible!I still have one in Silver Grey. No rust and passing the annual Technical Verification without problems. Greetings from Argentina 👍
Rust doesnt exist in Argentina.
In uk even the glass and tyres rusted on xr3i and all mk4 escorts infact every escort
By the way sorry for the war just blame our politicians not the people
@@LKS98 Argentina is a humid country but with proper maintenance we managed to extend the useful life of the bodies of these classics that we love so much. Anyway, nostalgic greetings 👍
eaa, re clásico el escort y el sierra, amo

una nave el escort, felicidades!
I remember being a child back in the late 90's and seeing those as almost brand-new sport cars. Here in Argentina it came with a 100HP 1.8 engine. It was quick even for the cabriolet(11 sec 0-100 kmh). Fun little buggers.
EPA, otro Argentino, somos plaga jaja

The level of trust in that cvh's ancient timing belt is high . They used to snap for fun even when new 😅
I would had put a Zeta in it instead.
@@douro20 I dunno, you can turbo a CVH pretty easily. or if you want to you can go the ZVH route by mating the top half of a CVH to the bottom half of a zetec. you can end up with a Zetec based CVH turbo and boy some of the ZVH engines do fly. Love this vid though, im certain with some work it'll come back as a daily again.
Simple, easy to repair and cheap, cheap spare parts, etc.
Love this car, if it could be combi-its immortal)))
Beautiful engine sound, old school. As always well done, this Ford is in surprisingly good condition.
I don't really like cars as I am a biker but watching this was so awe-inspiring - seeing that XR3i looking rather sad made me think it deserves to be brought back to life.
Anything old with an engine deserves to live on as I just love nostalgia.
im on my 3rd ev, costs me heaps, as they just seem to self combust,,i thought only humans did that.. ausie.. ive had trail bikes, road bikes. too dangerous here now, the imports dont know the rules.. i do 4x4ing now. 62 f100 4x4, 452 FE, 82 bronco sas, 351c, 1975 highboy, 02 super duty tdi 4.2. 700nm.. i keep looking at bikes, but life says no, dont do it.. moonta, s.a. yorke peninsula, cheap houses, 380,k ausie , whats that, about 180k pound. 26. u.s. dollars, 5 billion yen..
Excellent car, I had two, the first a 1985 XR3 1.6 manufactured in Brazil only to be exported to Germany, already with a sunroof and other extras for that market! I got it second-hand because it had been brought in for diplomatic use! Then in 1991 I had another XR3 but it was 1.8 with VW motorcycles which was an agreement between both brands and also made in Brazil, fully equipped and jaguar blue, with the new cross-spoke tires, it was a beauty and both were a pleasure to drive and demand!
That was a fun video to watch! The car started right up, and everything came together to get it back on the road. This car lives to see another day and a few more miles!
Man, what a beauty.. The exhaust’s sound is the most pleasant sound ever, reminds me of old school rally. Congrats on restoring that amazing car!!
Seeing this makes me feel nostalgic in the 90s when I was a kid in England these would be everywhere good memories 😊. They were nice nippy little sports cars good for parts but unfortunately prone to rust I haven’t seen one on the road for a very long time 😢.

Literally just woke up and this vid was here! Love Escorts!
Same here bro!
Ah the sound of 90s britain, the monday morning Escort blues, cranking away hoping, willing, wishing the things to start... :P
😂
Parabéns... Sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 e tenho um igual à esse ESCORT.
diferença de mecânica é gritante.
@@marcossluzala1708 E aí?
Hot Hatches from '80 runs still good today!
Early 90's?
When seats were made for comfort! Great video as always
Super cool! It just took off without missing a beat. A good amount of power too. Man, the Escorts you guys got in Europe were so much better than the ones here in Canada...
I love this car;My first car was used fiesta mk3 that has similar headlights and similar inserts in the door and similar dashboard
Love watching the video on this channel!! It even helps me learning on anything mechanical on cars vans etc! Keep making those videos!!
tive um desses conversível uma máquina
ah man that's cool, my mom's car is an escort xr3 1984 black dakar, I watch your videos because I love mechanics and your videos are very good, and you post an escort video, how cool! thanks for making my life happier😄
Great work getting her running again! 👍😎
I really like these car renovation or repair videos 👏🏻👏🏻
This car was part of my childhood and to this day they exist all over the world and I really liked it 👍👍👏👏😎😎
These Escorts were one of the most loved and desired cars here in Brazil for a long time in the 90's. This one looks a lot like the last one my dad owned in his life, a few years before he passed away.
Cool looking cars. I like how they added the horizontal and vertical stripes to the tail lights to give the illusion of a smokey effect.
É verdade. Não tinha notado 👍
The red one is a weird mixture: 1.6 engine with 105hp and front bumper from the XR3i, but the rest of the car seems to be a "Bravo" (rather basic special edition in Germany). But the stripped out white Escort on the other hand is an original XR3i.
The bravo was the same here in the UK. As you say the red one isn’t an XR3i unlike the white one. Wonder where the cloverleaf wheels went? Actually can’t remember if the MK4 had cloverleaf wheels or just the MK3
@@Mind-your-own-beeswax Oh...i don't remember either. I only know for sure that the Mk4 XR3i came as standard with hubcaps (designed like a telephone dial, painted in white) or with optional alloys (kind of cross-spoke). I think maybe the cloverleaf alloys ended with the Mk3.
@@Timico1000 spot on , trims as standard and didn't look too bad ;option extra for the alloys ,doglegs I think they were called great cars ,
@@Mind-your-own-beeswax it was just the mk3 that had cloverleaf the mk4 had a lattice spoke rim like sapphire cosworth. Think there was another type for the mk4 aswel but not 100%
@@Mind-your-own-beeswax the mk4 had dog leg alloys remember and the mk 3 had pepper pots
They were tough little cars in their day. I had a community college professor that had one and He had a Nice Full Sized Ford Van too.
Awesome video 😃👍 Truly warms a Ford enthusiast 💖
Passed my driving test in one of these. Lovely drive.
This was such a wonderful video, so many sights and sounds
Very beautiful and comfortable vehicle in its time! It was also very famous in South America and particularly in my country, Argentina. that vehicle in South America produced in Brazil.
MILLES MERCI POUR ELLE
SA ME RAPELLE LES ANNÉES 1980 AVEC MON X.R.3 ( ROUGE ) VOUS AVEZ TOUT MON RESPECT ET UNE BONNE SANTÉ SALUTATION
Great to hear it revving high!
Tenho boas lembranças do meu Escort XR3 1988, excelente carro.
Ainda bem que você tem bom gosto rapaz,tenho um e não vendo por dinheiro nenhum nesse mundo, nunca me deu dor de cabeça...
Qué hermosa es la xr3, excelente trabajo, 👍🏻 saludos desde Argentina 👋🏻🍀
Really like this channel giving old forgotten cars a second chance. I remember I Had one of these in 1998 though it had the excellent CVH 8v lump + bosch monotonic injection red pipes and all not the efi unit it cost me £250 and scrapped it for £75. Oh I wish I kept it and stored it as many of my old cars capri's fiesta XR2 nova SR's list goes on. I'd need a small mortgage to own one now.
Totally agree buddie I had a 83 metro Turbo in the mid 80s. I've seen nice examples go for 15grand now lol absolutely staggering considering you couldn't give them away back then.
Yes but I think of all my "moves" over those 30 years; (not even counting in-state moves!) Florida-Georgia-Florida-Alabama-Florida. At most I had to move 3 cars for one of those and that meant buying 2 one-way airplane tickets. At one home I had a 4-car garage and at the worst a 1-car car-port. But I hope you see my point. *Just storing a car for 30 years is not an easy prospect!*
That Escort has it's own ecosystem!
I am surprised the battery did not drop through the battery tray into the car, the bodywork looks a little ripe, thank you for another great video
Good old CVH I had a 91 XR2i and a 90 XR3i SE cabriolet, love a 90s hot hatch!
Marcou época no Brasil 80 e 90 .❤Xr3
vou comprar em breve um 1.6 desse,carrinho valente demais
Fantastic vídeo...My name is Téveri Lopes and I have an escort Mk4, hobby model, very similar to this one, made in Brazil... a big hug.
They were wildly popular and an object of desire in Brazil, back in the late 80's/early 90's. My mom had one '86 Escort, it had an 1.6L engine (not XR3 thou) and it ran on alcohol. I remember being a kid and loving the car. My mom also loved that car, but she sold in 1993.
Love it! You should restore this one it doesn't look too rusty for an old escort!!! Nice job 👍
Aqui no Brasil esse carrinho já e um clássico!!!
E lá é descartável... 😕
Já foi né
Как прекрасно! Сохраните его.. Это целая эпоха!
Brilliant. I love 80s Fords. Much better than the new Fords out now.
Good job resurrecting her!👍
Another greate video! I love the Escort!
Amazing Job am new to this channel keep up the good work.
Escort XR3!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷 Obrigado por compartilhar.
Sehr schön! Sehr großen Respekt! Ich suche schon sehr lange so ein Auto! Sehr schön zu sehen..
I like so much of the Ford old cars, this escort was amazing and have a nice engine sound
Sounds mint. I miss that old ford sound.
Es ford, no hay con que darle! Es una caño! Buenísimo.
Cool little cars these - would definitely have one nowadays!
Always LOVE your videos..
I'm not a Ford guy but I always wanted a escort👍🏽👍🏽 glad she's running
Ваши видео очень интересные. Особенно про старые wv passat, golf. 👍
Good little cars these Ford Escorts. I own a 1992 and its 30 years old now. Still running like a clock.
Sounds alright for an old CVH I was expecting it to sound like a typewriter when it fired!
I am from Sweden and i love you videos 👍
🥰🚘esse ganhou vida novamente.super carro dos anos 90...uma joia rara...👍
85 lançaram o primeiro xr3 no Brasil
Świetna robota
Theres a cabrio one of these in the same colour at my work carpark at the moment, H reg 1991, its a beauty
A nice car ! Goodjob bro..greetings from Malaysia😀
This was satisfying to watch
Those old-school Ford cars Escorts are the best classics Ford made.👍👍😎😎
This Escort is from the 1980-1990 - era of the most durable cars like (VW Golf II, Mercedes W124, BMW E30, etc). So, no wonder it works today.
Love these cars, very rare now in uk
Xr3i is the second or third car I drove on my own when I was 15 or 16. 2-3 before licence. Newly purchased in Germany, I think Munich. He had a webasto and a timer. I think 105 horsepower
Belíssimo trabalho em resgatar é restaurar essa belezura. Sim, esse belíssimo carro. Lindo e Valente esse Escort.
What do you do with all these cars after they are being revived??
probably scrap or to dismount and sell parts
Muy bueno el programa saludos desde Argentina
Una bella vettura ed un bel salvataggio
10:30 I had similar issue with floating engine work... It was playing from idle up to 4k rpm...turned to be burned intake manifold gasket. Fixed after replacing it
At it again the Harry Potter 🪄⚡of car mechanics ❤️
Wish I had half of you're knowledge 🙂 X
о, моя первая машина!
Невероятно!
Только руль у XR3 должен быть другой, трехспицевый. Один из лучших стоковых рулей на планете )
Its criminal leaving these old classics to rot. These old Fords should be protected by law. I hope that other white Ford Escort gets saved too even though it has no hood or engine. Its good to see another classic hopefully saved and will be fixed up.
I have been waiting for thus Escort for a year
I've got the same, but not XR, owning for a year
Once left it for 3 months, came back, put the battery and it rolls)))
Оооо. Пушку-гонку на обзор сняли. Так держать 👍
@1:59 beautiful e28 specimen right there 😉👌🏻
I would love to see the xr3i restored to its former glory
Bro full of old cars thats crazy
Wow that white one is awesome!!!
Brilliant 👏 I like how you give it some beans 😀
Esse carro marcou época no Brasil anos 80/90 eu atualmente tenho um Escort Hobby 1996 motor 1.0 CHT está comigo a 16 anos sou o terceiro dono.
My mate still has one of these excellent condition run for ever can't beat the old car's no computers on them the best
Abi sen bu arabalara hayat veriyorsun ya gerçekten bir harika
Looks better than any new cars of today
Esse carro fez muito sucesso no Brasil como o nome de Escort XR3
Спасибо за видео! Машинка порадовала довольно быстрым стартом, даже движок разбирать не пришлось:) Если не секрет, что дальше с этими машинами происходит?
The best video.
I love that car it reminds me of 90s rally cars
Great video and rare fast ford😎👌
Wow i love this car sound
Had a xr3 X reg 4 speed sunburst orange In 1986 /1987 still fream of it this day.
When Ott was pilot in m-sport;) nice, keep it UP!
Ford escort o meu sonho de carro ❤️❤️❤️
Tive 2 pena que não tinha esse motor e essa tecnologia no tempo dele aqui no Brasil.
