What was the yellow stuff on it before you sprayed it ?
That was a fine filler to fill any small holes, also know as top stop
Hi Twigg been following,lovely job m8..could I just ask what amp welder is okay for this and also what is the black rust treatment you are using ,I'm going to attempt to replace sills on my LT 35 Thanks m8
Thank you very much 👌 Depend on your skill set as low as 15amps If it’s the spray product from a can then it’ll be dinitrol rc 900, I also use a brush on which can also be put in a spray gun and that’s called bilt hamper hydrate 80, hope that helps 👍
In my opinion.... Doesn't worth it.... Too much rust.... Now you can buy a van for 5000......just doesn't worth it
5k I’m in for a huge profit then 👌
What a brilliant Job, 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much 🍻 💪 👍
Perfect. This will be my Saturday project
Excellent work
Thank you! Cheers! 🍻
The thing is whoever buys this will have nothing to do for years to come, all the work recorded for them, you're doing a great job.
Thank you, and that’s the plan, apart from servicing the new owners will have a solid van 👍
This is all really useful for me. After having my T4 for 5 years I couldn't put off attacking the previous bodywork "repairs" to find out what was lurking beneath. I'm going to have a lot of similar repairs to do ... after I buy a welder and learn to weld 🤣
I’m glad this is helping, I haven’t filmed a lot but thought I’d at least show and document the work done even if not showing the progress. I guess in future videos working on customers vans I may be able to go into it a bit more detailed. Good luck with your repairs and welding 👍
@@TwiggsT4 just seeing what's under the surface and how you're repairing the issues you find is helpful
What a gargantuan job 😅 Hope it sells for a large profit. Good job, keep up the good work 👌
Nice one 🙏 hopefully get my money back 🤞
Really good video. I have bought a T4 with a windscreen leak. Not too bad but wanted to see what was involved. May get someone to tackle it. Has been resprayed with no bubbling. Hoping its not too bad 🤞🏼
Thank you, it could be just a badly fitted windscreen, I know of a few vans that have had to have the windscreen removed just to be sealed in again because it leaked
@@TwiggsT4 Yeah cool. I may do the insurance route like you. Mine has a chip on drivers vision so it maybe better to pay that. Been quoted £150 to take out the existing and reseal but that does not include rust treatment. Is it easy enough to put the rubber seal back on? At least that way I can see what I'm up against.
@jimkennedy7784 usually the rubber seal is fitted to the windscreen then the windscreen installed, the bonding sealer usually squeezes out and also seals in the rubber seal along with the windscreen so taking it off and refitting it may not be possible.
@@TwiggsT4 Ok cheers mate. Appreciate your feedback.
How did you remove the plastic drawers please?
Please keep these videos going mate they really are helpful to us unskilled guys. Using my T4 to learn to weld and have the passenger inner and outer sill to tackle!!
I hope your inner isn’t as bad as mine on the passenger side 🤦♂️
@TwiggsT4 o it is bad, and looking for a donor for the sliding door sill as well😢
A body cut is cheaper, volks magic is where we get our body cuts from at dream day campers, however a sliding door step and sill from steel wizards is over £500 😮
@TwiggsT4 I wish I could afford it from steel wizard but limited on budget. Your newest video is great by the way, please keep them coming 👍🏻
What a fucking pointless video You had a twin cab that was a none runner Easier to swap the lumps than all that fucking on
😊
We went everywhere including the magic t pot. Couldn't find you mate. We were right on the gate side. Family camping
Oh no 😔 we were about 50meters from the magic t pot, i did have a wander around the family camping on Friday evening, that’s where I got the festival taxi back to the t pot
hi i couldnt lose egr valve bolts wd40 dosent work . can u give me advise
Might needs some of that Dinitrol on my LT35. Do they do tanker sized cans?
Haha not that I know of, although it does go quite far, I’ve used loads and still got well over half a can
Where’d u get the wire adapter from I’ve been looking ?
The audio shop that supplied the speakers, they aren’t online
Good work bud can you tell me what gauge steel you use please
I think for this repair it was 0.9mm
Love it Matt, if only you lived nearer or I trusted driving my shed to you
Hey Matt can you give a link to that dinitrol rust converter spray please buddy.
It’s on Amazon, dinitrol rc900
hi twiggs.ive got no 5th and reverse gear on my t4 2.5tdi 99 model.i know changed engine on yours.i have changed gear linkage before for 2nd hand one.its had 2nd hand gearbox before i’ve got receipt off previous owner.its on 350000 mile now.if its not linkage adjustment it seems gearbox it tricky to get out needing move engine forward etc i heard.u know anything about that?hope to get 2nd hand gearbox off guy near me who got me low miles spare engine i got down garden .cheers.steve
@@stevemcgowan3017yes one of the first videos on this white van was removing the gearbox to replace the dmf and clutch etc. it took 2 days and I had assistance with the lifting of the box. I would put in new bushes and definitely check the ones above the gearbox. I would personally rather have the gearbox reconditioned at least that way you’d know the box is good. I’ve brought “perfect working” gearboxes in the past and they’ve been knackered
Loving following your work I'm currently doing mine, i bought the van for pleasure but now it's mainly a project! luckily i quite enjoy doing it (good job really) and have learnt a lot, skint now though haha
Awesome thank you, yeah I know that feeling about being skint, any spare cash goes straight back into the vans 🤦♂️ I must admit it does get tedious doing this 6/7 days a week, glad you’re enjoying it tho, everyday is a school day 👍
Were did you order this from
Vauxhall comes out the factory like this!!!
perfect .hello to france
So if you block the leak on the inside of the door then where does the water go? Does the door just fill up with water? I don’t understand how fixing the inside is adequate when the leak is from the outside of the window??
How does it cost maste and slave ?
I had the same problem. It was the damper. But you have to use the one from corteco. All others do not solve the problem.
Do you know you can get split cv boots which you wrap round and seal? I’m gonna do that with my focus st not goin through this for a bit of rubber ahah
Hi, is this the aab engine?? My father in laws 1996 t4 2.4L needs this job doing but we’re wondering if it need shims or not? Are they auto adjusting lifters? Any info is greatly appreciated.
great shots, it's weird that you're repairing all the same stuff that i'm doing, your previous videos helped me to do the step and sill on the weekend :D Glad i don't live near the Rust belt though!
Thank you. How bizarre, good job then I guess haha
Nice repair that Matt..
Thank you very much 👍
Nice video bud, I’d be interested in the larger bobbin mount Are you going to Beach dubin this Sunday?
Thanks, I don’t think I’ll be at beach dubbin this weekend, got too much on and not enough time, but if I get the work done early on my van I will try to get down for a few hours at least. I’m out of the larger rubber mounts, recently I’ve been using Brickwerks and been getting the standard mounts, they’re good enough when they’re new and not 20 years old
Yes I’ll be there early with Pkw, I’d be interested to see how you got on fitting the fans underneath the intercooler Thanks for the tips is there a video?

Not a subscriber yet. Sincerely wish you well. I am 73 and I have a genuine vw t4 petrol 2.5 5 speed manual, which I stripped out while outer + inner wheel arches were replaced plus front outriggers + twin factory manual roofs welded/repair, + full respray (white) + new windscreen. I have a disability with my spine so I ca sympathise with you ,how frustrating it is. My family have convinced me that it's time to sell .I live 2 miles from Santa Pod, in Irchester. Best wishes, David.
Lovely to read this comment from yourself David, and I’m sorry to hear it’s time to sell your beloved t4. Being so close to Santa pod you must get annoyed with all the extra traffic and boy racers haha. I wish you well and hope your t4 goes to another caring family and by the sounds of it they will be getting a decent van. I would love to buy the van off you but financials currently are saying no 😞 I will have to finish this white van first and sell it. Many thanks and best wishes my friend, Matt.
@TwiggsT4 Thank-you Matt, if you hear of anyone who might have some interest drop me a post. Santa Pod always depends on the type of vehicles which are meeting . Buses and bugs lovely- no problems & always helping each other out. KEEP WELL. David. Ps, most of the bugs pass by my house.
Breaks my heart to listen to your health issues 😢 stay strong and keep positive as poss😢as you can I have my problems but getting a old T4 me and my wife love it and watching your CZcams is very inspiring and it keeps me going and all your knowledge has been a god bless , Take care hopefully see you on Saturday xx
Hey,your kind words mean a lot to me. I appreciate your support and encouragement. It's people like you who keep me going. Thank you for watching and being a part of this journey with me. Take care and hopefully meet you Saturday
Mate, being ill sucks ass, but glad to see you ain't letting it.get you down. If you ever need a n extra paitlr of hands, give me a shout. I'm only up in Salisbury. My sisters after a camper now she's seen mine, how does 1 get in touch with your Brother?
Hey Terry, thanks for the encouraging words! I appreciate the offer for help, and it's great to know you're not too far away. You can drop me a message on facebook or instagram @twiggst4 and we can connect. Thanks again mate
Get well soon mate, might see you there!

Been down your neck of the woods for 10 days working at Goodwood last week and I have been rough all week. Very tired and dizzy since I returned home. Must be something around that area? Still rough now, and never been like this before.
It sounds like you've been through quite a rough patch after your work at Goodwood. It could well be something in the area. Make sure to take it easy and get some rest, Matt.
