Welcome to Kev Builds Cars — real car rebuilds, real challenges, and no shortcuts.
I’m Kev, a full-time mechanical engineer and passionate home mechanic based in the Highlands of Scotland. In my spare time, I take on crash-damaged and salvage cars, bringing them back to life to a high standard — whether that’s for resale or to keep and enjoy.
This channel is all about:
• Rebuilding written-off cars properly
• Diagnosing tricky faults most people give up on
• Honest insights into costs, profits, and mistakes
• Learning as I go with filming, editing, and the rebuild process
I focus on real-world, relatable cars — the kind people actually own — not supercars. Some builds will be straightforward, others absolute nightmares… but that’s all part of it.
If you enjoy seeing cars saved, problems solved, and proper attention to detail — you’re in the right place.
New builds, full series, and behind-the-scenes progress coming as I document the journey from shed projects to something bigger.

Hi guys, this weeks video on the Mondeo Vignale will be slightly later than usual.
I’ve been busy getting these two ready for a car show on Sunday. Didn’t think anyone would be interested in a video of me getting angry with two 50 year old-ish cars 🤣
All the parts are home for getting the Mondeo finished / ready for paint and a whole front end is on its way home for the Audi. Lots of content coming soon…
Have a good weekend all!
Kev.

Just picked up the new project for the channel. I’m going to resist having a look at what I’ve bought so that we can go round it together.
The first walkround video shall be uploaded on Sunday. So let’s see what I’ve let myself in for then!
Cheers guys and have a good weekend 🙏
