Great corner turned with the painted floor, i can see your well excited with it done. As for the dash colour, i would go with what it came out the factory with 👍

Very happy mate, feels like we are heading in the right direction 😁 Thank you for your dash thoughts!

Thank you pal, always consistent positive comments from yourself 👌🏻

[@RetroCarsReborn]

That's how you do it rattle can the interior and engine bay then if the outside needs doing spray it with a gun 👍 it looks great mate 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Bay was actually done with a gun! But thank you, I'm very happy with the result 👍🏻

[@craZy_y0]

Colour coded dash would be pretty cool, definitely go beige!

What yourself with that 2k, especially in such an enclosed area. I did a bumper in a garage with it and even with a half decent mask and going outside straight after spraying it still left me with a banging headache.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Exactly the reason why I wore my mask 👍🏻

[@GaryEastwood]

Nice job, Looks a good shell. Sorry to be critical but i would have either have covered or taken the door cards off. Also i watched the engine bay video and they the same as RS2000 top hats which are totally standard which i would have left.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal, the door cards weren’t in great condition when I purchased the car, hence why I haven’t removed them. Also with the engine bay I wanted to smooth off certain parts and therefore I decided to blend in the top hats 👍🏻

[@susanhenderson2322]

Great work, I think I would have worn disposable coveralls when removing undercoat, what a messy job, interior starting to look great. Primer is not water proof so moisture will cause rust under it so good you got it sorted. It's not easy having OCD but you're doing a brilliant job. Two thumbs up.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, you hit the nail on the head I just can't hide or miss anything! 😎

Hi Mitch, Great work on Escort as always,love the Beige interior and i think the dash would be awesome in Beige too,anyway keep up the good work and glad you are getting excited about finishing the Escort,she will look amazing. Maggie & Graham.😁

[@Mk2Mitch]

It's l👀king good Mitch well done keep it up be on the road soon 👍🏼 👌🏽👌🏽 I'd do the dash satin black how it should look like 👍🏼

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you! 😎

[@Classic-Shack]

Great job, excellent result👍. Don't see many people going to all the effort you do, especially bare metaling behind the dash. Keep up the good work. I'm for the dash being black, but it's your car, you do what you like best.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, yes I couldn’t live with myself knowing I’d cut corners on this project so every section gets the same bare metal treatment 😎 Thank you for your opinion, I’m still torn with what colour to paint the dash! 😬

[@timpeat286]

Great video Mitch 👍🏻 great job of the floor I think go satin black dash then on passenger side spray beige over mk2 Mitch logo 😘

[@Mk2Mitch]

Cracking idea mate! 👀

[@caprilaser3]

Great update Mitch. Really coming along nicely now. Beige floor really looks the part. Very impressed with all you have done on the car and it must be very satisfying knowing you have done the graft yourself. As for the dash, I personally would go black. Nice beige body colour and contrasting black dash, roof, trim etc would look the business in my opinion. Look forward to the next bit of progress 😎👍🏼

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for the kind comment Dave! I will have a think about the dash 🤔

[@chrishart2838]

keep the dash black that`s what they were back in the day✅

[@andyday1981]

Looks bang on mate, another job well done 👍🏻

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal! 😎

[@barryjackson8512]

Personally I think the dash should be black. I’ve had some great results fro 2k rattle cans. Looks a nice job 👍

Hiya mate, Matt from Drawn By Matt here 👋 Beige the hell out of that dash. Even though black would look great, I think it'll be something a little bit unique if you body colour it. Inside looks incredible. Well done on that.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you Matt, beige dash it is! 😁

[@neill4133]

Great job with the paint, 2k deffo the way to go these days for a great finish. Please paint the dash satin black!! Will be a nice contrast, and go well if you have a black interior.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Agreed mate those 2k cans are amazing! Hmmm I’m still torn on the dash colour 🤔

[@deejayjay4066]

Stunning work there. Definitely peace of mind knowing how solid and well finished the floor is, a credit to you. 👍 Underseal like that is something best left in the 80’s 🤣 People ended up doing the sills, valances then halfway up the door and side of car in that stuff as rust slowly took hold 🤣 Dash wise I’d go standard style black. Think this car as a sort of OEM+ look would be amazing. Steel Ford sports wheels with maybe a bit of extra dish so you almost do a double take to suss if it’s been tweaked 🤔 Anyhow thanks for sharing and absolute top notch project. Regards. Dave 😎😎👍👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Haha I agree with the underseal half way up the doors, seen that too many times 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m still unsure on the dash colour but your vision of the car is very similar to mine 😁 Thank you for watching!

[@alxgu198]

I’d do the dash in black Mitch, but either way it’s all looking good mate 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for your opinion mate, I’m still undecided 😬

[@levelcrossing150]

Nice job on the floor mate. Every time I would say go for the standard satin black dash. I think beige would be just too much anyway.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal, I’m still undecided on the dash colour 🤔

Great progress - your excellent preparation will ensure the Mk2 is good for many years to come. Really enjoy following your progress with the Escort and hope to see it and meet you and Lauren at a classic car show hopefully in the summer! Me and a couple of mates attend ones in south Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and west Norfolk if you're ever up this way! All the best, Vivian. (PS I'd do the dashboard in black).

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for the comment, I’m glad your enjoying watching the build! I’m always out and about we aren’t too far from Cambridge so feel free to comments shows your attending etc and I’ll try and get to some! 😁

[@iannorton4463]

Ayup pal, the floor looks bloody mint mate 👌. Now then, the dashboard colour will look brilliant in beige but, thinking in the real world, I would do the top part satin matt black because you would have awful sun reflection. Think about it mitch..you have a good idea going on there. Great vlog ✌️👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you Ian! 👌🏻

[@iannorton4463]

@Mk2 Mitch anytime dude ✌️

[@billywhizz98]

It’s down to your personal choice of colour 😊it’s your project theirs no harm in spraying it black to see what it looks like with the dashboard in place and if you don’t like it spray it the same colour of your car

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for the comment & recommendation 👌🏻

[@RobsSierraCosworth]

Thank you Mitch for your Video, the cam and editing were great, I think spray cans are only as good as the person using them and you have done a brilliant job well done. Personally I think the dash should be beige, but you will find most Mk2 have a Black dash pos because you can see the gauges better and it does not reflect the light.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you for noticing the effort I put into these videos! Beige dash it was, I can always change it if I run into any issues! 👌🏻

[@richardjones7036]

Wicked video mate im excited for you , those rattle cans done wonders on the interior floor , i think beige dash

I think the dash panels look great in body colour rather than black

[@darrenfrench5544]

Black the dash or the gloss colour reflects on the windscreen in the sun light, also are you not fitting the anti tramp kit?

[@Mk2Mitch]

Went for beige, can always change it if the glare is terrible! I will be fitting the anti tramp kit but I don't think I'll have enough time before May. It'll be a job for winter 2023 😎

[@shadowzion1384]

Great work Mitch and for the dash its got to be black

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you mate! 😎

[@sidpf1972]

Looking good pal 👍 As the lhd to rhd Does dvla need to know, do you need an engineers report for insurance?

[@Mk2Mitch]

On the log book it doesn't state wether its LHD or RHD so not sure if I need to inform them. I would assume insurance want to know if its LHD or RHD, luckily for me it's already got 2L engine on the log book 👍🏻

[@williambaird1370]

What disc did you use to strip inside of the car?

[@Mk2Mitch]

Twisted wire wheel! 👌🏻

Nice work Mitch 👌Beige for the Dash sounds good would lighten the interior and be a way of putting your own stamp on it
