UPGRADING MY MK2 ESCORT FRONT BRAKES *ROLLING AGAIN!*
Welcome back all,
In this video I continue the rebuild of my Mk2 Escort by tackling the front wheel bearings and brakes. Lots of you recommended a brake kit from Gs classic fords on Facebook, so I got in contact with them and purchased a set! The brake kit came with everything; discs, pads, callipers, hardware & more. This made the installation run smoothly and the end result on the Escort, looks insane.
I also managed to get the Mk2 Escort back on the ground and I wacked on some banded steels I recently purchased. I also managed to dust off the escort as the o/s of the car is very hard to get to and it was still covered in underseal dust! It's fair to say that rolling the escort out of the garage has spurred me on and encouraged me massively to get this out on the roads this summer.
Next up, brake servo/master cylinder rebuild and run the copper brake lines!

We called those wheels “Ford sports” back in the day. They look great banded. Get them refurbished silver with the black windows and fit the RS centre caps👌🏻
Great work... Nice brakes.. Good to see someone who's always thinking logically when doing their car. Excellent speaking and teaching manner.
This project is coming along nicely keep up the great work 👊🐝
Loving the progress mate!! 👌
mitch we used to use austin princess 4 pot calipers back in the day bro
That's going to be some motor when it's finished it's starting to look so good already.
Looks amazing Mitch. Congratulations, it's a credit to you 👏
Fair play coming on nice , loving it 👏🏼
Great work Mitch. Really love your enthusiasm! Mk2 dear to my heart as it was my 1st ever car I bought in in 85 for 1300 quid! Midnight blue MGU 282W. It was already rusty at 5 years old! ❤😅
Looking spot on mate. If you want to get your break pipes perfectly straight before bending into shape, find a smooth floor and roll them straight under a flat piece plank of wood. Hope you understand what I mean. It has worked for me time and time again. 👍
Great work done Mitch, i bet your buzzing with the Escort rolling now. Welcome to the world of drilled, grooved disc's 😁 Iv'e got standard calliper's with SS pistons on my drilled, grooved disc's fitted to Millie 👍
I was just wondering earlier before I went to work how you were doing as it seemed a while since your last video.. I’m just a supporter who can’t wait to see the Escort finished 😂 but glad to see this tonight after my carer work.. well done Mitch it’s coming along amazingly.. keep it going and please longer content 😜 but seriously well done.. you are a very talented fella and can’t wait to see it done… your one of my favourite on KZread and you deserve the recognition.. very inspiring to watch.. thank you mate 👍👍
Wow mate. Hard work pays off👍
Cracking progress Mitch! I reckon those wheels would suit the car with a refurb in silver with the black accents put back 👌
