Forget 2024 Adam, get the car stripped now to the bare bones & sort it properly once. Do the job right the first time. You will waste twice as much time & twice as much money doing it twice.

Found an old towel from a dead relative had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Towel from a dead relative 😂

Absolutely spot on how you fabricated that filler knock hole, you need to give yourself more credit! You care and it shows.

After 45 years Adam learned me a lifehack how to hoover the tough spots of my car, thanks mate!!

I admire your determination Adam,keep at it pal,it will be worth it in the end 👍

Adam drops a vid. I’m smashing the kettle on and getting comfy.

Terry just a thought but when I made mine I put a connecting bar that joins both ends of the rotisserie together once they are on the car. This was an after thought on my part but made such a difference once I did it especially when moving around. Keep up the great work, love the vids 👍👍👍

I was a welder mate, that works spot on what your doing, keep practicing,you'll get better,

Adam, those 2 bits of metal you glued in need plug welding together, you missed the same on the other side. Great job so far mate

Good effort on the repairs Adam. On the LHS 2 pieces of new metal you put in. I would put some strength back in by adding some plug welds. Use a spot welding removal drill bit. Drill through one piece of the two strips and plug weld them. Keep up the good work.

Cracking little repair job, nowt the matter with your welding.

i own a mk4 transit,keeping up with rust is a labour of love

It's your car if you want it out for the summer go for it .I'm enjoying this project Adam.

I am learning the Northern accent and lingo as i watch these as well as car stuff.

You had my attention with "an old towel from a dead relative".....lovely car Adam ...

I'm loving your fear yet fearless, unknowing (will it work) attacks at all of the challenges you're up against with your "dream car"... Following enthusiastically.. Keep at it.. Doing great for those of us that attempt similar. Gr8 descriptive commentary and informative..... Don't rub ya meat around the welds/cuts rough edge's to check though 😂

Love your little tips Adam and how passionate you are love your content keep up the good work looking forward to your next video 😊

Adam get a cover over that lovely sierra!! It’s getting covered with the grinding dust etc…😢😢 Keep up the good videos 😋

Just a wee tip, you should have drilled some small holes in the front bitty, plug welded through it into the back bitty, flush off with the flap disc.

So many innuendos. 'Going in dry'.... Nice job. Perfect welding.

Adam what your needing is a good snap on blue point needle gun and hook it up to your compressor and you’ll have all the crusty stuff off in seconds Very tedious with a wire wheel Needle gun takes everything off in seconds Great investment

Great channel love all the updates and the trips down to Paul Mr Cossie

You’ll get there mate, just keep plugging away with it 💪

You should watch Yorkshire car restoration to get some welding tips. The way he uses paper to make templates is fantastic.

Did my cars under side, used industrial paint stripper and an electrical drill with a wire brush, then coated the underneath in rust protection, hammerite and under seal and then wax oil in everything.

Good tip for the hoover !

Brilliant bit of work mate Cossie coming on mint

Admire your determination pal,keep at it ,it will be worth it in the end.👍

Absolutely love the hover “cheat” ❤👌

Get yourself a selection of flapper discs for your grinder, they are soft and form to the metal. Not too harsh for ripping of rust. I’ve got a RTECH mig set, same as yours good kit. I’ll sell you an RTECH tig set if you’re interested. I’m local , hardly been used.

Beautiful car Adam and I remember them back in the day. When I was a lad (1980/90s) I wanted an Escort RS Turbo but it was out of my budget. I find it hard to believe that someone would paint over mud and dirt. Looking forward to seeing the old lady fully restored.

Great to see some more on the escort cosworth Adam!must be hard to find the time juggling everything, but please keep it coming!you have done so well getting to where you are,love your stuff!Well done mate!

Best way to work on any car in your own garage. Few chilled beers great crisp pork scratchings nuts and good 80’s music !😅

Fair play with the welding, I’ve got an old golf in the garage and a welder which im meant to be using on it but to worried I’m going to set the thing on fire.

Adam the welding fires are very sneaky they start in channels in the car I was always checking for smoke flames in the car , but you can never be over cautious If you find more holes I would remove seats and carpet It might take a bit time but the time it’s gonna take to find second hand extra cash you ain’t got and worst completely torching the car it’s worth the while Am letting you know as own experience lucky I was outside once fire gets a hold on under seal it soon spreads fast Just a strong word of warning 😊

Im inclined to do the whole underneath because everytime you take old schults off there is rust, do it properly once you wont have to ever strip it again

That hoover tip is useful, why didn't I think of that!

Hi Adam, doing a good job of interim check/repair ready for the summer. Lovely Cozzie... Alex

You getting good at this welding adam

Great video Adam, I can fully understand your passion for this car, it’s your dream classic❤.

Brilliant mate need a longer video on the escort cossie could watch you all day fixing back up

I'd do the whole underside of the car now while it's stripped, i guarantee if you just patch it up for now and get it on the road, you'll never want to strip it again.

You need some gilbow snips for cutting repair patches. Used them in roof cladding for years .

Well done Adam looking good do agree about doing it while it’s stripped down but then build like this is never going to be a cheap rebuild so may be enjoying it now is the better option 👍🏽your welding is coming on mate looking pukka 👊🏻

nice job nice to see someone do a proper job

Banging welding mate - and another top video, keep them coming pls 👍👍

Good tip with the hose in the hoover!

you can use a bit of water to help drill cut , if you have any more holes and dont want to use oil

Something I do do when I do the hovering 😂got to love a mackems grammar

Away with work in japan. Realy enjoying the build mate keep it up.

Adam do a proper job on it Get the 3 door out and enjoy The escort can wait

Can't go wrong with an Aussie beer! Can you taste the Commonwealth?....lol I'm Aussie by the way. Dick Johnson is a Cossy legend!

(not that i’ve done such welding) but if you watch the pros they dont weld in a line, they do spots along then keep filling the gaps slowly so you dont get too much heat into any one place and avoids warping and blowing thru

Good video, you know what thet say measure twice cut once, id prefur to spend that extra time on prep and get it right than have to start all over again it doesn't matter how long a something takes as long as you get the right results

Fair play bud. You're in there now so you may as well get balls deep and finish the car. Welding is a love hate job but your doing a grand job.

You are doing a great job,you are way better doing the underside over a couple of years,unless you have help you will get fed up with it,use it for the summer then start on the rest.I thing you will do better to oil spray the bit you have done,it will last for a couple of yars then just spray it again,there are kits out there to buy

Ne hints or tips but just wanted to say what a miss these videos are when you don't see them for a while. Good crack and good work on the cars

Thanks for all the great content you have on your channel it’s been a journey 👍👍👍

Another cracking video mate. Car is coming along nicely and I like all the explanations of what your doing and why your doing it. Inspires me to have a go with projects on my motorbike. 👍

What a brillant video ! Well done mate and glad no sausages were harmed in the making or testing in the video 😂

Nice job Adam , good bit of welding there.

Great videos again mate, absolutely loving watching this.

Great idea for finding the center of the hole

Great video. Love the one liners 😁 Hopefully in my next life ill have a garage..lol

Good luck bro big job on your hands there

Its getting there Adam, just do what you can while its in bits then enjoy it, cars are meant to be driven, theres a lot of comments saying make it mint while its in bits, i get that, it does make sense but do it how you want to do it,we'll all watch the videos anyway😅

Cant wait to see it finished adam

Easier way to find the centre of a circle is to use a compass, not a magnetic north direction one - the drawing tool one for drawing circles! Measure the diameter, set the compass to half that, put the pin side of the compass on the edge of the circle and draw a bit of an arc over the approximate middle of your circle. Do it again from any other point around the circle, where your two drawn arcs cross is dead centre and ready for your centre punch. Sorted. Rub your main sausage all over that too to erase the pencil lines.

try the copper weld thru primer, much better for mig its very worth getting one of the cheap chinese plasma cutters, i got the 55amp plasmrgon, originaly got it for sheet steel but its great upto 10mm plate,

Great job Adam. Love your humour. Just ordered my free beers. Great start to the weekend

I use they birstle brushes in vmc's for deburring/ polishing after machining cast iron.

It’s coming on Ad well done 👍

Put a damp fire blanket on the inside opposite the welding your doing , just a thought I’m no welder 🙂

hi as you know the car needed work and your the man to do that work well done so far dude 👍👍👍

Always had new cars but if I was anything like brave enough to take something like this on it would be awesome, love the videos.

Forgive me for saying and you are doing a great job, however why don’t you save up and get the whole bottom ice blasted so you can do it all in one go, rather than patch by patch. I’ve done this on my car and the end result is so much better.

beautiful work again Adam mate. then you respray your car yous Glazrit car pain with EP primer

Loving the videos Adam keep up the good work

When you decide to do it please get it dipped so that all the rust is taken out of it 👍

Congrats, bloody lovely car.Subbed. I run a 90's Honda that lives outdoors with steel about as thin as a crisp packet so I know all about rust paranoia.😁 So far, so good, mainly because at this stage it's more anti rust wax than car. 😅 And you're dead right about that aftermarket shultz goo(imho). Too often it's just used to cover up existing rot and/or I've seen too many cars rot away underneath the stuff unseen. Even on good steel just the smallest crack can trap moisture underneath.

you got a big heart............but my heart bleeds for you........any one like me who has been there with rust will know this is a huge task........hope it work out.....cheers..........

Great job, Adam!

Plodding along mate, it's all a learning curve pal.

Been looking forward to your next vid Adam👍

Turn the wire speed down a bit that’s why your getting blobby welds

No idea why this channel has exploded yet. Always a good watch.

Made me want to buy a welder now and give it a go, probably burn my garage down welding random shit together like look babe to the bird I've welded the microwave to the tumble dryer 😂😂😂😂

lol just should of drawn some card that size folded then fold again open up than that’s the middle then put it on Circe u drew then centre punch it lol

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Adam is such a likeable guy.

Top job as always, keep it coming, what is the welding helmet make

We need longer videos Adam 👍🏻

what a nightmare but it will all be worth it when you get back on the road this summer!

Do it once and do it right love your show watching you the last few year's Denis from Ireland 🇮🇪

ive not seen one that rusty ! must of been well used by the seaside !

Cars are made to be driven, get some miles on it this year, full restoration can wait!

Clever chap, but you must have a very understanding family.

If you drink the whole case before entering your shed, work will go much easier without stress.... :) :) :) nice video ! .... "Men Sausage.... LOL"

Love your videos , got some great phrases aswell , borrowed a towel from a dead relative 😂. Doing a great job , keep it up 👍
