Mongol Rally 2023 + 1970s Ford Escort MK1 - Ep. 2: Brakes Check, and Dynamo-to-Alternator Upgrade

Описание: Still convinced that doing the Mongol Rally 2023 in not one, but TWO 50-year-old Ford Escorts MK1 was a reasonable idea, Giazzo, Fede and Rico proceeded with the first checks on the "Drebin".
...or is the Drebin the one actively looking for their attention? 👀🚗👨‍🔧

In today's (Drebin-centered) episode: an overall brakes check, and how we upgraded the Ford Escort MK1 from the dynamo to an alternator.

Subscribe and stay tuned for updates both on the repairs and the Mongol Rally 2023!
