Chemical dipping a Jaguar MK2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Today I am chemically removing all the paint and rust off this classic Jaguar MK2 prior to its complete restoration. I’m going to take you through the process we use to completely chemically strip cars down to bare metal. This is a more thorough alternative to sand/media blasting with no chances of metal warping on thin panels. This process shows you exactly what you are working with and gives you a blank canvis to work with!
It is a 3 step process
Step 1) alkaline degreaser and paint remover
Step 2) Food grade Rust removing acid
Step 3) Water based rust inhibitor
The total process takes around 6 weeks because we use environmentally safe chemicals.

I restored one of these. The front fenders are actually welded to the unibody and the seams were leaded-in. Never seen that on any other car. They are really solid, good driving cars.
Volvo p1800 and Kharman Ghia did too I seem to remember
All of the different jags of that era were built like that. Mercedes 190SL's too.
Jag made some of the most beautiful cars.
Beautiful, but in THIS country they rusted very quickly, especially the wings (fenders). I too am amazed at seeing this one in this condition.
I agree!
@@williamharris9529 Every car of that age and even much newer rusted.
I agree wholeheartedly even though this particular model is a bit upper crusty and probably too many doors for my palate. Given it's age, the car is still in remarkable condition. This is an obvious full on restoration.
This has to be one of the most rust-free dips I've watched on your channel. Nice work, nice result.
Totally agree, surprising for an english car !.
Those didn’t come from the factory that rust-free. Must have been restored before.
The freshest one i've seen on here was an MGA a few months back. It was almost pristine
Still an iconic shape.
My uncle worked at the factory in Coventry where it was built, he may have even put his hands on that very car.
Nice video.
At least now the car is stripped, it will be easy to rectify the main fault.
These cars were built by unsupervised apprentices and they unfortunately put the steering wheel on the wrong side!
Greetings from a UK subscriber!
An Australian agrees with you.

What did GM make Jaguars?
It’s a mark 11 Jaguar early sixties through to late sixties. It was nicknamed the get away Jaguar because of its power and reputation of being used by criminals during that period. It came in three engine sizes - 2.4 3.4 and 3.8
The 3.8 being the best of the three.
A very collectible classic. Cheers
Not a mark 11.. it is a MarkII . That is Roman numerals representing 2. It is a Mark2 Jaguar.
Had a 1963 Mk II in the late 1960s. Bought it in Toronto. Wonderful car to drive, but sold it in LA when I moved to California. Maroon car, blue leather upholstery, and no A/C. For many years in the 1950s and early 1960s these were British police pursuit cars. It's the same model used by Inspector Morse on the PBS mysteries.
The Great train robbers used them too so the police couldn't catch them.
Talk about a unicorn! Most Jags came from the factory with more rust than that. That car must have lived it's life in a very dry place like Arizona. Other than the accident damage it should be a joy to restore
I really enjoy the videos! Any chance we could see you cleaning the bottom of one of these cars?
I would love to see a video where you collect pictures/footage of the restaurations being done and some photo's/footage of how you got the bodies and how they came out of the tank.
Like a summary of a period of stripping and how the cars ended up.
What a result for the owner. The dream dip scenario.
Never see underneath the cars, I love the way you Americans pronounce JAGUAR ,keep up the good work keeping classics on the road
its pronounced jag-u-a
Always driven by the crooks on the old films, fantastic.
I've seen paint come off in sheets, in chunks, and plain refuse to budge... but I can't ever remember seeing paint come off like this for you, where it just liquefied. That car is in amazing shape! Awesome job and vid!
I wish all paint was like this lol. Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video
When Britain built cars, had our own indigenous mass volume car production companies that were in charge of their own destinies. It all went pear-shaped because of the stroppy trade unions that became far too powerful and kept striking, poor management, complacency about competition, poor marketing and, the perennial British problem, lack of long term investment for research and development for new projects.
and piss poor management. I was there.
Fish rots from the head, management and government incompetant and Britain lost again.
Are you not stripping the frame? I never see you pressure washing the underneath which is often the most problematic issue with vintage cars.
Back in the sixties and seventies, my dad had a number of Jags, but his favourite was always the MK2 3.8.
Excuse me sir ... as this is a Jaguar it's called a boot, NOT a trunk! ;)
It's trunk because the vehicle is in the usa,
@@hanshoogendyk2203 He knows it is the USA, and I think he just want to make the point of being so BRITISH Like me.
It is also saloon and not a sedan LOL
Also it is a boot , not a trunk.
Things get more complex down under in Australia though, we have sedans and station wagons not saloons or estate cars, but we have bonnets and boots, not hoods and trunks.
We also have tyres not tires but at the end of the day it doesn't matter.
I once knew an Irishman and I told him I was going to the USA and was going to hire a car, he advised me not to as it was dangerous.
I asked him why it was dangerous because they all drive on the wrong side of the road.
He went o. To tell me he was going to go and do the same thing but before going he decided to try it in Ireland.
Well he did and had a head on crash and wrote both cars off.
Yes, in the UK it’s called a boot, but this is in America and it’s called a trunk. Do you also call soccer football?
@@ralphferguson1 soccer, what a dreadful term.lol.
Here in Australia football is rugby league which really means carrying the ball most of the time
The world is an interesting place.
Why is that hamburgers don't use ham.
There was term used in the US that doesn't get used today about money
2 bits was 25 cents, why and also you couldn't get one bit
Stuff like this is what makes the world an interesting place.
I thought a boot was a grill cover.
Looks like they were built from 59 to 69, amazing condition for the age, well done. Cheers!
Rust free jag is a rare car. Would say the owner will sink more into the car than it is worth even in today's market.
+1
So what?
This frame is in amazing shape! Its beautiful, even in the white.
I love watching these videos. Something about it is so calming and pleasing.
I’m glad you enjoy them! Thank you
Absolutely incredible. Shame the front corners are so banged up. Just need the body man that is knowledgeable and willing to do that metalwork the right way. Best of luck to the owner and thanks for sharing Trevor.
Excellent video.
That floor is original, no sign of later welding or braizing.
Thank you! Good point!
That's a lot of work ! Look's nice. The car brings back some memories from 1967. I was stationed below Dallas Ft Worth then at a Nike Hercules base 11 miles from Cleburne Tx. Part time I worked for a shop owner in Cleburne Tx and it was just outside the main center of town in an old sheet metal building, which isn't there today and I seriously doubt John the owner is around either. John had a brother in Fort Worth who owned the first foreign car salvage yard and John had acquired an early Austin Healey same color white as this car you stripped and cleaned. John had put a Jaguar V12 into this Healey and I did a valve shimming on the engine while working for him. I never got to hear the engine run and of course lost contact with John after I left Alvarado for SE Asia. I remember john explaining to me that those early British cars usually required the entire power train to be removed just to replace a clutch. Everything would come out the front. His little Healey was a very pretty car and I remember how low it sat to the ground. I was pretty bummed out to not be able to find the old shop on Google Earth since it was sitting right on the highway leading into Cleburne. No surprise of course, just a little further down the street was a little Auto Transmission shop that I dropped off my 2 door 57 Chevy when the Transmission went down. It would have cost me 250 dollars then to repair that transmission and I just gave the guy the car for his time, I only paid 200 for the car. I once owned a few cars that today are worth a lot. My favorite was my 68 Square Back Torino 428 Cobra. I think I miss that Torino more than any car I ever owned, it was like a race horse and hated anything below a hundred mile per hours. :0)
It must be very satisfying to see how good of condition that car is in.
The very last thing you'd do to a classic. The chemical stripper gets into the seams and....stays there until a few years later and the lovely paint job bubbles away....
Jaaaaaag. Best quality ever ❤❤❤
never seen anything like it - beautiful condition for a 60 year old car
British cars of the era left the factory with a lot of lead used as a panel joiner/filler.
Great video on the "Jag-you-are"
Thank you! Yeah I’m sorry. I’ll try to pronounce it correctly next time
Im definitely a big fan of the dip process !!! Its very satisfying. Cheers Sir
Thanks buddy! I’m glad you enjoy it
It definitely had the original paint underneath, you could see the tide mark on the front as they dipped the shell at an angle in primer to give it extra protection on the front.. Ohh and those floors are definitely original. The ones here in the UK would never survive like your one.
How do you blast the areas you can't get to like double skin, A B and C pillars, inside the sills and under rear shelf? Some places have 3 layers hidden away to blast but the dips get in there?
You are fully right. but you forgot the insite of the chassis and chemicals go in there and not coming out
He doesn't even know which way around to wear his hat. Bless him.
Can you show a customer reaction these people would have to be very happy
That is a superb process young man, very impressed indeed.
Thanks buddy
Very satisfying.Excellent.Like to see full re spray and paint job and rebuild to finished car.
That's crazy satisfying. 😮
"The Jaguar Mark 2 is a mid-sized luxury sports saloon built from late 1959 to 1967"
That was very satisfying to watch 😊
I would say the paint is old school acrylic paint that would suggest why it gummed up your sand paper
🤔Maybe a rotating car mount to get every inch inside, top side ,bottom side, end results showcasing a job well done.😎
You gonna give him the money for that?
That’s a solid car. Wow 👍🏼
Got one wished you were in England? Great job, thanks!
Have not seen any videos of doing underneath the cars
I have a few videos where I show hitting the bottom. It’s very hard to film. Camera gets soaked and lighting sucks
How do you you stop flash over rusting after washing off?
It’s dipped and sprayed with a water based rust inhibitor
Body man's dream!!!😂😂😂😂
What about the undercarriage and wheel wells?
Amazing outcome.
Thank you
Beautiful old car.
A very satisfying watch ! It really came out as a perfect start point for a resto. All the best and greetings from Prague, CZ
Wow, this car is amazing, excelent job, a litle bit restauration need. See the next...
There is something really satisfying about watching this.
It will be the Phoenix rising from the ACID,(ashes)
Nice classic car the JAG-U-AR good boot space and nice engine under the bonnet
You are doing a good thro job of the top and interior, but there is a lot more going on underneath, more specifically the mounting holes for the semi-elliptical rear springs, if that is seriously rotted you can scrap the body. We had a 1967 Daimler 2.5l and the rot was coming thro under the rear seats.
Nice job sir cool Jaguar Nice show 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍😃
Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome job as usual. Great, looking car.👍🇺🇸👍
Thanks buddy! I appreciate that
Thanks for video. we all luv a MK2 jaguar. Be really good to get some further news on its journey.. All the best GN
Jaguar mk II manufactured from late 59 to 67 in Coventry. the 3.8 sedan was intended for the US market. Info from Wikipedia
I always wonder when you spray the chemicals of with water does the water not cause surface rust fast to the car?
Do you guys rebuild the car: new motor, new wiring, etc? Would love to see that process to the end.
Great video
What about the underbody?
So satisfying.
Good job
Thank you!
If you look on the glass you will see the word Toughened and under one of the letters you'll see a dot. That dot designates the year the glass was manufactured, which is a very accurate way of denoting the year of manufacture of the car. If the dot is after the d then that tells you it's the start of a new decade, like 1960. It's best not to use the windscreen for obvious reasons.
great video ...l am going to "guess" a 62 Mk 2 Jag love these videos ...cheers ~baden~
Thanks buddy!
Cool
Fabulously done that matey cheers
Its a "Jag u ar" and not a Jagwar , great vid though, and what a clean Jaguar Mk2 this is
Do you power wash underneath? If so what was the condition?
I do. Very hard to film. Camera gets soaked and lighting is hard to get right. I have a few videos where I show. I think the celica video, and a few others have me showing the bottom
Just started watching and every video I wish that after every dip and spray was a perfect car without bondo or crappy body work
The paint is cellulose, straight colour no clear coat. The under coat is probably red oxide.
My brother might have built that car, he worked at the Jag in Coventry for years.
You asked re year etc? The numbers on the internal identity plate are on the web - or via Jaguar Cars UK Heritage dept.
Welcome back
Thanks! Good to be back
its rare to find a MK2 jag as rust free as this. I have 3, 2 for parts and 3rd to restore. I paid a premium for the 3rd because it was in similar state to the one in this video. its better to repair those fenders then replace them, in fact you can buy a whole parts car for the price of a repro fender.
I wish you would show us pictures of the completed project once they are restored. Also, what does this cost?
thats cool car
Trevor, do you ever do anything to the bottom side of these cars?
Yeah I always hit the bottom. I put it in a few videos but it’s super hard to get a usable video. Camera gets soaked and lighting is hard to get right. Especially since we switched the lighting in the shop. We attach the car to a scaffolding rig so I can hit underneath
Interesting that the polypropylene rope wasn’t affected with the various drippings.
Do you also wash off the underside?
Why would they not?!
@@htimsid Actually my question was not addressed to you. Firstly the chassis are lifted with a forklift that does not have the ability to lift to any great height. pressure washing the underside of the floor pan would necessitate getting under it and to protect from a deluge of water old paint and chemicals (Acid and alkalies) a person would have to wear a full suit of protective clothing, something that I have never seen on this channel. Another thing I have never seen is anyone actually washing the underside of any of the vehicles. that is why not.
Yes I do, I’ve shown it in a few videos. Hard to film. Camera gets soaked and lighting is rough
@@minute_of_danglethat is what i thought a messy business getting under one of those things to wash it off. Perhaps a disposable coverall like those worn by people disposing of Asbestos products from demolitions might help. Just a thought!!
Thank you for the video.
they were heavily lead loaded at the factory, floors surely original too. Svelte.
I believe the red primer is the original 'Valentines' used over the MKI MKII run. Used to sometimes get writing/numbers or names on panels that appeared as bare metal against the red of the primer once you got through the paint. Had this on some Jensens too. No idea how it was achieved or what the point was. If anyone knows please share.👍
In your work, I have never seen you do the lower part of the car undercarriage.
How do you remove the paint from the doors and trunk, engine cover
How do you wash thresholds and double panels and cavities?
British beauty 🙏🏻🇬🇧 why do you say the floors may have been replaced ? Looking at the shell it’s in exceptional condition because it was build with decent gauge steel my late grand father worked at jaguar as a body man they lead loaded joints from factory , the fillers shows work on it at a later date . Fantastic start to a restoration 👍🏻😉👏👏
the first. great job
What about the underneath?
Jagwaar.....he, he!
Can you tell us what the dips are, in the order you use them? What do they consist of, and what do they attack? I understand the first one was to remove and loosen the paint, but what was the 2nd and 3rd one?
🤔By the way-
Trunk-Boot
Hood-Bonnet
F.Y.I. 😎
What do you spray on them to prevent flash rust?
Our own water based rust inhibitor that we manufacture
Needs to be British racing green ,with red leather interior .
Great stuff is caustic soda it makes water wetter 😊😊😊then finish off with phosphoric acid 😅😅
If you post the video on social media, maybe tag the owners page so we, the viewers, can see their progress.
99% of the people who bring me cars don’t have social media. I try to get after photos but not many people come through with them. If someone wants me to tag them I would happily do so.
What's done with the washing water after the wash? Is it collected somewhere or is it sent to the sewage? I assume some kind of treatment as it's full of dangerous contaminants from tje baths and paint chemicals. Am I right?
Where the rear springs mount they rot it’s inside a box section and hard to repair
I'm curious to know what stops it oxidising now that its bare and wet? Also how come you don't do the underside?
