What an awesome transformation, you must be so proud, like a kid in a sweet shop, and like your first legal pint on your 18th, cars, like this evoke, so many memories, and do mental health, the world of good by doing so. Please don’t ever sell it Rob even if anyone offers you stupid money, you will never find one as good as this, keep it, love it, enjoy it, because trust me, there will be days when it’s been as tough as it can be, and you think everything is against you, all you need to do is open the garage door open the car put the keys in and the world gets so much better enjoy every mile mate you deserve it

Wow ! Just watched this an it’s certainly brought back some memories - As a lad I ran one of these from 88 to 92 - was 22 when I bought it…..which was quite a lot of car at the time….. an like you sold it as a 26 year old to get me into me last house……for 33 hundred quid……which at the time wasn’t too bad as they weren’t worth a rub due to the high insurance costs….. A quick way to immobilise those from the drivers seat was to flip up the rear seat squab an with your left hand reach over and pull the factory two pin connector to the fuel pump apart…….despite me expensive Gemini full closure alarm this quick little trick prevented mine from getting too far away once when attempted to steal….. Great Video 👍😃

That resoration was a labour of love by all who worked on your RS Turbo it looks incredible as if its just rolled out the factory👍 You should enter it in to some classic car shows - sure it would be a winner!

Hello Rob, well, this is one of those moments in your life, where you can "wet yourself" with excitement every time that you see this car, or enjoy the thrill of driving it about - as and when you like! Wonderful to see the process from start to finish. You do deserve this "special treat" to yourself because of the hard work that you (and Chris) do in your workshop. A real reward for helping out so many people in a practical way when you sell your cars. Best wishes from Lincolnshire

Is a thing of beauty Rob. The one thing I would be tempted to do would be to cut a piece of ply wood that fits over the spare wheel but flush with the boot floor. Put some felt on one side so it doesn't damage the spare wheel, then when the boot carpet goes over it , it doesn't sag. Nice job there boys.😎👍

@7.00 you said..."you can see me in there...look how lovely it looks". Just to clarify Rob are we talking you or the car? 😀😀 Fantastic restoration of an iconic car. Sadly nearest I got to one was an Xr3i. Well done on saving a very desirable classic. Cheers, Bob

Wow this video made my weekend so nice to see it done and on the road,a beautiful example of the mk1 RS turbo.I had a mk2 in white on a D plate eventually it was stolen I was gutted and I never had a sports car again until last year I bought a audi Q3 sline black edition as a retirement present absolutely beautiful, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the fords escort RS turbo’s like many boys/men of our generation it was either the XR3i or rs turbo or another car I had fiesta XR2 brand new on an F plate(1988) crystal blue pepper pot alloys and sunroof.Golden days as they say.

Well done, guys. Giving a great car a new lease of life. Looks great. Makes me wish I still had mine and the rest, lol. Bet there's a few of us that did. Again, well done, looks the dogs nuts
