Welcome to the Mk2Mitch CZcams channel,
I’m a fully qualified mechanic who enjoys sharing my knowledge and tinkering around with cars! I’m a classic ford man at heart but I enjoy learning and working on different makes and models.
As part of the channel I enjoy travelling up and down the country visiting auction houses and sharing the selection of lots with viewers. I also enjoy attending car shows and events.
There are many ongoing projects on the channel, the main one being my dream car, my mk2 ford escort. I’m currently restoring the classic, along with completing a full left hand drive to right hand drive conversion.
I upload a new video every Thursday 6pm.

I ATTEMPT TO RESTORE 25 YEAR OLD PAINT - BEGINNERS MACHINE POLISHING
Welcome back all,
In this week's video I give the faded paintwork on my Volkswagen T4 some attention & attempt to bring it back to life! This process was very long winded but all these steps need to be carried out, to ensure the outcome of the paintwork correction looks the best possible. There are a few bad patches of paint on the vehicle and therefore these did not come out gleaming like the rest. I do plan to get these sections re-sprayed as I feel this would really finish the paintwork off.

It’s a Ford Crapi. Let’s get that point straight!
Top job mucker im a T4 owner myself, get some 303 - Graphene Nano Spray Coating on it job done, good channel
I think you should lacquer it.
Thank you
That’s the strangest shade of green of green I have ever seen looks a bit more like blue to me 😂😂😂
That is a magic result.
only one pad?
They are both red, that's as close as the top one will get to a proper Capri, dip a turd in gold- its still a turd.......
I bloody don't like it. Nothing will beat the 19th Century design
That Cosworth needs a fair amount to body, yet still goes for a packet
Great work and amazing results 👌👌
My 2.0s was a Ford Capri. Just who are Ford trying kid with this pile of sh#t
Looking mint mate fab job
world has gone mad for SUV junk horrible ugly euro boxes
another 35 grand raffle ticket
😊😊😊😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Ever considered wet and drying it and giving it a coat of acrylic lacquer?
Honestly ford can go screw themselves or it seems they already are...................I could forgive EV because thats where were all heading but BLOATBOX SUV NO THANK-YOU! A sleek 2 door coupe with rapid ev power could have been a big hit........it would still hurt feelings but people would get over it as far as looks a sexy coupe could have bin a top seller but we know why they won't do that and it's because it would cannibalise mustang sales
This is not a ford Capri ! We loved the old ford Capri!!!
Love being gaslit with the GREEN car. That car is BLUE sir.
Lovely old cars , but how will they get on with E10 ?
E5 is still available & additives are available to put into E10, making it safe for the classics 😎
The Ford Crap-E 🧙♂️
I would have loved you to look at the Reliant Scimitar (red) in the video, you don't seem to like them!
Apologies, I will try and find one at an upcoming auction 👍🏻
"i know what you guys want, another ugly over-priced electric SUV right?" "no, if we're going to drive electric cars at all, we would want it to be a normal affordable car." "yes you do! you love overpriced electric SUVs, the market is full of them!" "no we don't, the only reason why the market has so many electric SUVs is because manufacturers force them onto consumers." "well we've heard you loud and clear, here is the new capri... an ugly, over-priced electric SUV."
So very true…!
Some difference well done mate
Thank you pal! 😎
WHY HAVE U USED THE T WORD....is it as far as ur intelligence stretches ?
Back in name only. This SUV thing is an insult.
Nice job. The difference is huge. I got a question about the polisher. How much is the rpm? It looks like a steady small and handy to use polisher. Keep up the good work
Thank you! Unfortunately I do not know the rpm, this machine polisher is fairly old now 👍🏻
Great job. Spin your whole fleet up!
Thank you! That’s the plan, when I get round to them all 🤣👍🏻
@@Mk2Mitch 🤣👍🏻
thank you for breaking this down very shortly and nicely, I have watched a lot of vids from various 'pro detailers' and none was so to the point, giving quick tips and even idea of products used without glorifying the one sponsor. In my 'normal car guy' eyes you've done a great job and you passed on knowledge or at least basics of it. And to you guys reading - question - how to properly do it incl. waxing, on the white car? (sounds a bit stupid I know, but I had a problem with polishing some scratches by hand in the day light).
No,you cannot polish a turd,but you can roll it in glitter
😆😆😆
Noticed the wheeler dealers tr6 @oscarsgarage447
Just another boring looking SUV
Yes you can. Put it in the freezer for a bit. And use Dark tan Parade gloss. 😅
No, but you can roll it in glitter... Fantastic job done
Thank you 😆
Yes it would seem you can polish a turd. Well done on your turd polishing indeed
Thank you pal!
Great job
Thank you!
Hi I got problems with my rear brake load sensor leaking no replacement motor failure
Hi, unfortunately I think you’ll have to source the new part 👍🏻
Looks great mate gotta ❤ a T4 👌🇬🇧
Thank you 😁
Whoever is responsible for this abomination at Ford should be sacked immediately, Capri my arse 🙄
Been doing this job for over ten years… tell me how bad those shoulders burned afterwards mate 😂
Yes it was quite the workout for sure! 🤣
Very impressive - proper bit of work to get there so fair play. 😁👍
Thank you mate! 😁
