Wow! Thanks Flexiny, I learnt something new today- a 4x4 Escort...

When I was growing up, I spotted a Ford Escort just like this and I wanted to have one as a grown-up. It was 2003 and you could still see 'em being driven on the road. It kind of hurts to see this one so badly mistreated and abandoned. Unfortunately, this looks to be all beyond repair

I am really impressed when You make'em alive again.

My neighbour still daily Drives an escort 4x4 😁 16v glad to see this one getting fixed

Another great fiind , and a future classic . :))

What a shame, thanks flex For keeping her alive

Great video! Ford is a unstoppable engine👏

Great work getting it to start after a longtime laid up. rare find in 4X4 . At 8.40 secs on video just noticed tears in cambelt which im sure your going to change. Old zetec were not a bad engine just at start they had valve guide issues and had to recall millions of them for brand new Cylinder heads

Zetec silvertop, great engine.

Never known that Ford made basic Escort with 4x4.. That is VERY rare! 😯

Great job...Greatings from Spain

the exhaust sounded pretty good an all wheel drive escort would be fun to derive

The other day I revved a 1992 Geo Tracker 4x4 that was left sitting under a car port for a good 10 years. Turned out it originally ran out of gas so it wouldn’t start. Did the usual first start prepping and had it up and running like it never sat. All original 1 owner with 80k original miles and the most awesome part, my grandfather was the car lot salesman that sold it to him brand new. He said I stand to inherit it when he passes away it gets to where he can’t drive it anymore

Here, there were other Escort models from the 80's to the 2000's and this one is better known as "Escort Sapão", something like Big Frog. It's an excellent car, but very expensive to maintain around here.

They're sadly very rare due to the fact the fuckers rust like absolute menaces. No idea what Ford did with the Escort, maybe they used shitty glue or sealer for the welded seams but the things just start mounting up rust at the mere sight of a salty road.

You should show the tire specs of the vehicle to prove the year it was abandoned. Just a suggestion because there's a few people doubtingon your previous video. Btw i'm a fan of yours keep doing it :)

I'm from Brazil, and I own a 98 GLX. Never heard of an AWD Escort from that generation. But I dreamed about it.

It is rare this model of Escort, There was only in these years the Escort RS2000 version 4x4 (i have one in (4x2) and the Escort Cosworth, but never other. So curious, I think the owner put it the differencial and transfer's box from a RS2000 4x4, it was very easy to do it.

You saved both of them nice👍

Nor I ! Actually, Ford UK would have saved a lot of petrol by making the Escorts just as we made them in America, 1.9 L transversal fuel injection equipped with 5sp automatic transmission. That engine runs and runs I've seen many in yards having reached well over half million kms (350,000 miles) and it gets between 11 and 18 km per litre, depending on road, of course (28 to 40 miles per gallon)

Good job getting it running! Sounds like some bad scraping in the engine. The leak is probably from the heater core. Those always seem to corrode badly.

It must have a inertia fuel pump cut-off switch for safety on the right side of the boot/trunk or passenger footwell kick panel/a-pillar This will likely be activated in the crash that also activated the airbag. You have to push it in to activate the fuel pump.
