HAPPY THURSDAY PEOPLE!! ð
I had the day off from my day job today, but I'm not really a day off bloke!
So I got busy prepping and primer-ing some of 'Heidi's parts which will be getting painted beige!
I'm now ALMOST ready to touch up a few areas on her body shell, after breaking through the paint whilst flatting and polishing (thankfully nothing major, and way less than I feared! ð) So I'll be able to do all the beige-ing at the same time, and then I can crack on with some more interesting bits of the build! ð
'Heidi's replacement fuel cap got the chrome delete and satin black treatment today as well!
Let me know in the comments what YOU have been up to lately with your projects!! ð

HAPPY TUESDAY PEOPLE!! ð
In my latest video I made a ton of progress on 'Heidi' my Mk2 Escort!
I got the gearbox fitted (at the correct angle) on a custom modified bracket, and I even fitted and plumbed in a hydro handbrake to enhance her future drifting capabilities! ðĪŠ
If you missed the video check it out here https://youtu.be/KjoyQTje_v4
and sorry about the silly screen size! I must have messed up the settings in the editing software! ð

It was awesome to see so may cool Fords at Brands hatch yesterday for Ford Power Live 2025! ð
Here are a few pics I snapped at the show! There are still a ton more on my Facebook and Instagram stories, which I ppsted yesterday. These will disappear very soon (due to the 24 hour limit).
I was at Brands yesterday with 'Esther' my Mk1 Escort (and my beautiful girlfriend Cat âĪïļ) after we were all invited to be apart of the 'Instagram Corner'.
HUUUGE thanks to the organisers for the invite, and everyone that came to say hello during the day. Apologies to the many people that have messaged to say they missed me at the event. We had to leave a bit early due to other arrangements. ð

HAPPY FRIDAY PEOPLE!! ð
This week has flown by for me!! âïļ
I have been quite busy with my day job, and I have been tackling some fiddly bits on 'Heidi' my Mk2 Escort. The next 'Heidi' video may take a while though, because I'm determined to make a ton of progress in the next update! ðŠ
I have a Patreon video which will be released at some point over the weekend, showing the diagnosis and solving (I hope!! ðĪ) of my recent issues with 'Esther' my Mk1 Escort. I'll also be revealing some secret parts for 'Heidi', and something else which is going to make my life with the cars more convenient moving forward.
In other news, I THINK 'Esther' will be making it to Brands Hatch on Sunday for the Ford Power Live Show. I'll be on the 'Instagram Corner' so defo come and say hello if you are there. ð
In the mean time, let me know what YOU have been up to this week, in the comments below! ð

HAPPY TUESDAY PEOPLE!! ð
On my latest visit to see my good friend Leigh Booth, We got the camera out to give you guys an update on his fleet of cool classic Fords! ðĨ
His Cosworth YB powered Mk1 Escort has been given some love lately, with some fuel system upgrades and some go faster bits! ð
Leigh took me for. spin in the Cossie, and then let the man with the yellow head get behind the wheel. Its fair to say he went a bit too crazy, but everyone involved (including the Mk1) survived the ordeal! ðĪŠ
After a banging steak lunch, Leigh showed me what he has been up to with his MEGA MX5 turbo 100E build, which now has a completely finished and repainted underbelly! ð
See all this and more from my day with Leigh in my latest video here https://youtu.be/TCMq7q2Y4sk
