Would love to see more of this car please bring it back if you still have it

Always been impressed that your mechanical know-how seems to increase with your camera quality. Well done, guys. 👍🏻

@Carson Adrien thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Carson Adrien it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

The switches make me happy.

Gears and Gasoline knows how to make Saturday’s even better!

Gears and Gasoline. A year back I thought to myself..this channel is underrated and needs more subs. You guys were ate 30k and now close to 400k..guess what. I still think you guys are underrated. Keep the amazing work.

We want a "where are they now" episode of this beast of a car!

Finally. Where you guys been? Starting to have the shakes..

I personally love the 2003 front end. However not my car.

It is like Jeep Cherokee guys--- some guys like the 1984-1996 front ends, some swear by the 1997-20001 front ends. I am personally torn myself. I have owned many of each, and currently own one of each.. and I still am not sure which I prefer.

I would've loved to have the 03 on my 2000

I came across this channel looking for videos on the Escort ZX2 after seeing one in a Craigslist ad. The fact you've stripped out the interior gives me a good idea of where the supports are under all the plastic and what I'll need to repair if I want to restore the car (the top of the body is in pretty damn good shape, even the paint. It's just the Iowa Kraken of Salt that did it in). I ended up buying it despite the rust and engine trouble. It's being brought over on a trailer Saturday (didn't even charge me extra for that, which is nice). It's never going to be THIS clean (or fast for that matter). But if I fix the rotted quarters to halfway passable and get the old girl in good running shape again, I'll declare it a success. As someone who's never driven much because of poor eyesight (limited to a 125 bike for the most part), can I just comment on how nice the visibility out of these things actually is for how small they are? When your left eye's there purely for symetry's sake, little things like that make a lot of difference.

Still waiting for the next episode for this car😁👌🏻

Awesome to see it alive again, Ben!

super excited to see it turn on. good job in not giving up!! cant wait for the next video. keep up the excellent work, your video quality is superb!

Always loved this car when i was on teamzx2. Its amazing to see how it has evolved. Keep up the good stuff.

Liked it right away, I love the Escort videos 😍

Great video, even though your videos are uploaded less often, I love the quality they offer over your typical vlogger that won't have the cinematic and mechanical knowledge you have which makes the wait definitely worth it! Keep up the great work!

awesome work, so glad it started up! can't wait to see more 👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome build! I drove and loved my 02 SVTF - great little engine.

Great episode Ben, Can't wait to watch the rest of the build!

The quality of these videos is amazing. Definitely worth the wait.

Awesome project and build! That escort is one of a kind!!

Finally! I've never been so excited to see a Ford Escort start. Great job, looking forward to the next build episode.

Most amazing thing to wake up to!!!

Loving the build. Pretty much inspired me to begin a project of my own on a car with time attack in mind, goals are only small but hopefully it grows.

This build started me on your channel. I also love the car, very unique. Keep it up can't wait to see it on the track!

Great vid!! I understand everyone is busy and had their own lives etc just wish we had more vids more frequently you guys produce such great content for us to view keep up the good work

So hyped to see thus build ! Glad to see the progress

Man... intense projects like these are the ones that make you say "NEVER AGAIN".

Now this is the content I like the road trips and other shit I skip hella fast. 10/10

The 2003 Bumper looks so cool! really up-dates the car.

Congrats man. I like following up with your build and the videos you guys make are prime.

Glad to see the Escort back on the channel! The SVT swap would be amazing

Only my opinion, the best automotive channel on YT, I love Your vlogs, great content, editing, music, narration, super 👍

Those switches do look good! The new engine sounds great, too!

I really admire the attention to detail you do on your edits.

Good Job !!! The engine sounds good !!!

@@tktheghost8318 doing car things don't require engineering degrees. I'm doing a 1.5 year course to become a HD technician. You don't need 5 years to change a engine.

I have a ZX2 and an XR650L. I rebuilt my XR for the price it would have been to buy another used one. My ZX2 is almost due for an engine and transmission rebuild. Watching this inspires me to spend the money and do it right. You should always do what makes you happy, even if it means spending a lot of money on your "cheap" vehicles. I saw the video getting closer and closer to the end. Now I'm so sad to see it's over. Please make the next one asap.

Yes! Must be satisfying. Congratulations!

Nice work! Just started my project car a few months ago for the first time... it's a great feeling.

I've been waiting for this for months!

This car has come such a long way. Can't wait to see it running on the track!!

There ya go! Keep up the quality vids!

kick the tires and light the fires boys.... He in Business!

Finally!!!! I ways too much just keep going make videos we are many fans of Ford to around the nation.

Dude love the build. Props for being different

Your man, Jeff or Geff, gave you a great base map! The car started first time and seemed to idle nicely, great job.

Just wanna say you did a phenomenal job on this video. Hope everyone appreciates how much work goes into a production like this. :) That's really unfortunate yet kinda funny about the starter switch. I thought for sure it was going to be the starter itself. Keep up the great work.

We need more of this build!!

Watching you guys makes me feel happy... idk why...

I was just looking to see if you uploaded a new video, awesome work on the ZX2 and the video, guys!

So glad you switched to the later bumper

Amazing video!!!!

Awesome I've been waiting for this video

Impressed by your panel guy 👍

The hood looked like it came out so nice, congrats on the startup too

Love this build!

Switches are great. I personally like the metal toggle switch. All metal. I would like to have a car with zero plastic in it someday. Just metal and leather. Thanks for the great video

Well done!

Good job guys

Nice cinematography

Miss my ZX2. Little bit of work and they really had some kick.

Can't wait to track with you guys this year!

I had to do that push button bypass for my old ZX2 and my VR4. just so much more convenient than going through EVERYTHING trying to find out where the problem was. Sadly, i no longer have the ZX2, and am rebuilding my VR4 lol. Good job with your car and it makes me miss mine all the more.

Another epic vid!

Same starter issue happened to my civic and i did the same exact thing, good on ya

this channel is literally netflix movie quality! I love it!

That is a lovely blue

So good!!

This is awesome guys.....love all your content! Shiftwrenchrepeat is doing a foxbody build soon!

Nice 1...st170 or svt engine can take serious abuse and when set up on Itb,s make a great noise

Love this channel!

I NEED the next episode!

I love that switch

Makes me miss my 2001 svt focus.

Like the switches!

Look great man doing a swap on my Accord

Finally a post

I love this car, really makes me want to pick up another ZX2.

Chevy Beretta in the background ftw!

This makes me want to build an escort

The 2003 front end looks so so so much better in my opinion

Awesome bro.. love from India...

Motivation

Being the st170/cossie/svt engine in the focus is based on the z teck that is found in the zx2 it only makes sense. Back in 05-06 I did a svt swap on my automatic zx3 and I was very surprised in all the difference between the two twin cam 2.0's . I was lucky I had an entire donor car for my swap. I looked into turbos but back then there wasn't much out there and being a 10.5-1 compression engine and lack of tuners it was a bit sketchy. This should be a very fun car.

Is there a next video that I can't find? Things are just getting good!

The 'scort is my favorite car of yours!

ITS ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

About time!

YAYY, FINALLYYYYYY!!!!

Always enjoy your content cause is so beautiful and not super long but short enough for my ADD lol love any escort project and the SVT block is great

I’m actually impressed good fucking work Dude

1 in the morning, worth it

Love the vid. I built a Z back in the day. Dude needs to clean up his paint shop tho, what a noob. Lol

I’d like to talk to you about the transmission bell housing and shifter bars. Maybe if you have a minute. Thank you for documenting your work

When are you bringing the ZX2 back? This is my favorite of all of your cars!

7 months later, still waiting for the next escort vid😂 this is by far my favorite car on the channel lol

the most satisfying video ending I've ever seen

Be something else if one day you make the Escort a AWD drivetrain

Waited for this....

Bout dang time GAG
