Chemical dipping a Jaguar MK2

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.

Jag made some of the most beautiful cars.

[richardhitchins]

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.

This has to be one of the most rust-free dips I've watched on your channel. Nice work, nice result.

Excellent work...Thank you for keeping these destined to be even more magnificent classics restored. In the future, your efforts will be gold!

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.

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

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!

What a result for the owner. The dream dip scenario.

[draggonsgate]

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!

Never see underneath the cars, I love the way you Americans pronounce JAGUAR, keep up the good work keeping classics on the road

[davidstokes]

I was gobsmacked at how quickly the Jag rusted between alkine and acid dips. I'm glad my classic Jag is an aluminium job.

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.

I really enjoy the videos! Any chance we could see you cleaning the bottom of one of these cars?

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)

I love watching these videos. Something about it is so calming and pleasing.

[weepair]

Always driven by the crooks on the old films, fantastic.

[davebarron]

Looks like they were built from 59 to 69, amazing condition for the age, well done. Cheers!

[RidgeR]

This frame is in amazing shape! Its beautiful, even in the white.

Great video on the "Jag-you-are"
