The restore of the Cosworth Efi ford escort rs turbo continues, all rust have now been cut away and welded in new fresh metal. New upgrades are being found and bought all the time. Stay tuned.. / officialaaronaaron
I see you found the expected welding panels over rust - garages do this, to palm off trade-ins cheaply and quickly - at least I know they used to. However, if the intention is to preserve the car it has to be a different story, as you know. Nice work, you are very talented.
My mate had a black one back in 2001, got from stockport to Blackpool in 30 mins the 1st night he had it. Was running about 240 BHP. Sounded really rattly. Checked it when we got back on the ramps and I've never seen so much rust on a car ever. Proper death trap. Sweet ride but a death trap lol.
@@AaronUnknownPerformance it was about a £900 car at the time with £500 quids worth of welding. One of my favourite cars of all time. Love your project mate. The prices are well on the up now. Good luck.
I had a G reg in white back in 1996. Bought it from an RS club owner who'd advertised it in auto trader lol. He'd put some quality 5 spokes on and it'd had some engine mods. My favourite car ever. Wish I'd kept it 😢
This brings back the memories of my old E plate S2 RST I had back in 1996. The rust got so bad under the battery tray that i had to carry around a large sponge to soak up all the water from the footwell every time it rained LOL Definitely wasn’t ideal when I was trying to get my end away with any girl that I pulled,getting soaking wet knees whilst she lay in the comfort of the reclined passenger seat. 😂
Absolutely great work you are a inspiration every time I watch one of your videos I want to go an do something to my car keep up the great work an most importantly keep these videos coming 👌🏻👍🏻
Although I do mechanics for a living I would definitely want your services to do welding and body repairs if I had a project to be done. Fantastic work.
Excellent, had a 1988 white S2 RS back in 1992... I added Spax suspension, Scorpion exhaust, Power engineering 180bhp chip with Bailey dump valve.. Oh, and the white obligatory TurboSystems motorsports sticker added to the rear screen! I believe F79 TEL is in existence.. :)
How have I not seen this channel before??Cousin has an S2 RST 2.0 Zetec conversion and 2 Fiesta RS Turbos. One totally standard and one track/fast road. Subbed!
@@AaronUnknownPerformance there are not many proper body repairers around these days they just want fast turn around and money. Thankfully there are people like yourself that repair properly and keep these cars alive and on the road top job as always👌
Nice job, I keep thinking I should get one of these before they get mark 2 expensive, corrosion mot failures finished half of them off , I heard a rumour the panels were made from recycled crisp packets!
I'm a first time watcher and wow what a job u have there ouch but awesome fix mate I love s2 turbos had 1 when I was a kid but fair play don't blame ya fixing her up
Amazing work , just one question: what did you do with the rusty area behind the cutting surface at 11:11? It looks like it's really rusted inside there
Aaron Unknown I do mate spent thousands on it, drove it like I stole it. Went through 6 gearboxes in 3 years. It was running 200bhp it used to spit flames when i was changing gear when I hit the limiter. 3 of my mates also had white ones the same as mine we used to race between the different raves we went too, good times.
Mate THEY rot from in side out believe me in rear arches ect bulk head goes on some cars if they have been in salty air see side area but good luck JAMES
For Aaron Unknown and New Viewers... An amazing set of videos that have clearly documented the pain staking extremes you (and your sporadic on camera helper!!) have gone to bringing this absolute classic Fast Ford to better than new condition and spec!! What a way to spend my Sunday afternoon, the best bingeworthy box set I have watched in a while... 😎 (Even as a die hard Ford Fan I have no issue checking out your V*uxhall videos because I know they will be worth it for the detail of knowledge you will share!! 😉 #bridgethegap #fauxall #vauxord)
There’s one of these in a motor museum near where I live, the owner pays to store it there. Apparently it only moves once a year to have its MOT. What a waste it deserves be used more.
Off topic question mate but I’ll be doing head gasket on my Astra vxr soon. Do I need to time it whilst I’m taking everything off? Or only when I’m putting it back together
Hey dude.... do you wanna buy my Astra VXR H?57 plate, Arden, FVSH, one lady owner, STD apart from full Remus fitted from new by Main dealer (Regal oil restrictor fitted by myself) Half leather, diamond cut 19s. Currently in dry storage, car only covered 32k.
Could have cut out floor pan and put a repair (floor pan compleat both side's! Both foot pans !!and would have looked better and look original but up to you cool
