Focus RS Rear End In & Rolling! | Abandoned MK2 Escort SEMA Restomod (Ep.12)

Abandoned car restoration — MK2 Ford Escort SEMA build! This is the episode we've been waiting for... the Focus RS rear end is getting shoehorned into the back of Project Vinnie, and by the end of the day she's rolling on 4 wheels for the first time.Episode 12 of the Road to SEMA build. This classic car restoration just hit a massive milestone — we take the complete rear subframe and suspension from a Ford Focus RS and wrestle it into the back of this abandoned MK2 Escort. It's a full restomod swap, and yes, it's exactly as ridiculous as it sounds. Once the Focus RS rear end is in and the suspension is bolted up, all four wheels hit the ground for the first time in this entire classic Ford restoration project. For a salvage car rebuild that started as a rusty wreck in a field, seeing it rolling under its own weight is something else.If you're new here — this is a full UK car restoration build. We bought an abandoned, rusty MK2 Ford Escort and we're building it as a restomod project car for the SEMA Show in Las Vegas 2026. Every episode of this vintage car restoration is a step closer to that deadline. From rust repair to a full ford escort restoration, this build covers it all — classic cars, classic car repairs, salvage rebuilds, and plenty of moments where nothing fits the way it should.This is what project car builds are really like — and we're not stopping until Project Vinnie is on the SEMA floor.📌 Watch the full MK2 Escort build from Ep.1: 🛒 SilverBack Salvage Merch → https://silverbacksalvage.shop ☕ Support the build → https://buymeacoffee.com/silverbacksalvage #MK2Escort #CarRestoration #SEMABuild #RoadToSEMA #FordEscort #ProjectCar #ClassicCar #AbandonedCarRestoration #FocusRS #Restomod
