Delighted for you buddy, hope it’s all and more than you need or want, best wishes Antonio🤙

Thanks so much Andy, great comment 🤙

Hi Ralph, and thanks for your interest and advice, yeah those cameras are a great tool to have in your arsenal, unfortunately I don’t have one yet, and I agree with you that most panels tend to rust from the inside out. Best wishes with yours buddy 🤙

PS other than that I love your vids 🫶🏻 and love how they’ve taught me about all the fantasy repairs I’ll make to my fantasy T2 that I’ll get and weld back to health in my dreams 😜🤣

Hi lizzy, yeah definitely would not let people bring tools to my bus, and would always be in the same area as them, seems like there’s always a gangster among us, lol 🤙

Hi Stephen, yeah I get what you’re saying, however the market for T2 has taken a bit of a downturn atm, across the board really, so it’s a good time to be looking for any model, best of luck with your purchase when it comes 🤙

@@Joesrustbuckets it's eventually going to have to be a Type 2 bay window maybe they've dropped off a bit due to stay cations holidays during the pandemic and a lot of campers Type 2 T3's etc were purchased as an impulse buy without looking into the gremlins of rust and rot and from time to time they're going to cough and spluttert maybe a set of points and condenser or a coil and people now are selling them on as they want the package holiday again

Thanks Cuzzy, best wishes on your search 🤙

No worries buddy, delighted to hear that it might be of help to you in your search for the right bus, best of luck with it 🤙

@@Joesrustbuckets I bought it. I did check all the bits - especially the roof gutter which had no rust and under the carpets and everywhere you said. I actually felt I knew what to look for and felt confident in my viewing. Thank you very much 👍

@@matthewscanlanttc732 delighted for you, hope you have many happy years with it.🤙

Hi Gregg, good luck with the start on the Bodywork this Summer, I said in my videos and different comments Welding Is an Art that takes a lot of time to learn so take your time to do and improve the welding Joe does great welding there is a lot to watch and learn. happy Summer my friend🇺🇸❤️🇳🇴🇳🇱🙏🏻,greetings Hubertus

@@Joesrustbuckets major factor for buying, was new vw heritage engine and gearbox fitted in 2016, eh 18,000miles ago ! Runs sweet !!

@@Joesrustbuckets that Joe you don't have the time for that you have much too much to do first the cars don't have a chance in the world to do you in first buddy .💥🍀😁😎🇮🇪❤️🇳🇴

@@Joesrustbuckets Thanks Joe there u is a new EP48 .greetings Hunertus

@@Joesrustbuckets thank you Joe, same for you for following me and the positive answers you give. I can do one in the future and have all the pictures all along with me true the restoration. Thank you for the tip👍👍👍

Yea, I am going to get it home in the next two weeks and make a final decision. Needed a new battery, tires, and keys, after sitting for about 5 years; and, it is 1000 km from my house. I have a car carrier that will pick it up. My tenative plan is going to be to store it for now, due to it needing a new title. That will give me a chance to get to know it better, get maintenance done on it, make a restoration plan. After that, I am either going to restore it myself or find a Kombi fanatic to sell it to. I have two other vehicle projects in front of it, including a Toyota hilux pickup that was in the same container. I have just sufficient understanding of the Kombi and cars to appreciate what it is though, and will make sure it gets a good home. In the meantime, I going to dive in to your videos and learn everything I can to figure out if I want to tahe on the project myself.

@@Joesrustbuckets thx for the tip, luckily I watched this video before I checked the van out ;) Would it matter if the van has a polyester roof (high roof)? I also didn't see much rust underneath the gutter, it was only the gutter itself that was as good as gone would this matter for the difficulty of the reparation?

@@Joesrustbuckets looking at a bus tomorrow. Apparently barely any rust but I can see Bondo in the picture…😩

@@Joesrustbuckets I’d send you a picture so you could laugh… at least the engine is rebuilt.. we’ll see tomorrow

Spoke to the Owner. He says it barely has any rust….. but does have Bondo in it…🤔😩🙄

@@Joesrustbuckets I did. Inspection lasted 3 minutes. Lower screen surround was molded in Bondo and it was so thick on the front and side door it had cracks in it… yet for some weird reason it had a brand new engine in it…

@@Joesrustbuckets yeah that wasn’t the one. But they come up fairly regularly in Missouri so we’ll see

Could you please outline some of the differences?

@@bm7760 The nose is different (you can clearly see it since the indicators are in different places and the bumper style is different). What the gas tank door looks like and placement of it. Doors are different. My 68 doesn't have push locks and has different door knobs. Most of the sheet metal has been reinforced on later models or it has added beads to make it stronger.

@@Joesrustbuckets seen a video of yours last night of putting a patch in a sill. That was a lovely patch, nice to see your cooling technique. I’ve always use a wet towel, might start using the air line myself much better way. Love the amount of effort you put into each patch, I’ve normally only done that on the outer bodywork.
