MK1 Ford Escort Build

Aussie MK1 Welcome to my ground-up restoration of a 1970 MK1 Ford Escort — a true rotisserie build done 100% by hand. Every weld, every panel, every detail is built in my own shed right here in Australia. This isn’t just a tidy-up — it’s a full rebuild featuring a naturally aspirated Cosworth YB engine, custom fabrication, and plenty of classic Escort attitude. Follow along as I bring this iconic little car back to life, one bolt at a time. Subscribe to see the full journey — from bare shell to street/track-ready weapon.
