    Man, that way of "invisible man/tools" filming and stop-motion and editing must have cost you sooooo much extra time! RESPECT! And well done.

    I have a '98 412D.
    Its a campervan with air conditioning and eberspacher heating. Cooking facilities, sink, extractor, and fridge. 230v electric and led lights throughout.
    The engine and turbo are rebuilt with all new ancillaries and radiator. The brakes have been rebuilt , the suspension rubbers and joints replaced.......but the bodywork is totally rubbish!!
    This video gives me real hope!

    On this Thanksgiving night here in the states, I’m truly grateful for this channel. Well done, George. Were there awards for production in the CZcams world, certainly you’d be nominated for editing and narration at the very least. I really, really…like all of the subs here, need to get on your Patreon.

    Tip for future reference - for dealing with dried/hard window sealant use guitar strings - the coils on the lower 3 strings create a sawing effect which gets through the hardened sealant more easily than a sharp wire will ;)

    Looking at the primer spots on the side reminded me of a guy I worked with who had a Corolla, (I think it was), that was a yellowish colour, but he had gone over it & treated all the rust spots with a brown primer. It stayed that was as long as he had it. He turned a bug into a feature & simply referred to his car as _'the leopard'._
    Have fun with the Fatherhood thing! (I sadly missed the stream, but that was due to taking one of the kiddos to school.) Worth it!

    Those original Sprinters and VW LT35's were made with much better steel than the later models...and protected better also....doesn't mean they won't rust as we know George...That 'fudge up' on the near side rear wheel arch...just added some cool content and techniques to get that sort of thing right....Watching your paint prep and they you pouring the paint it seems you are under some time pressure to get it done, George B-). Thanks for the mention (again) at the end its great to be back...

    @Thudney Před rokem

    Stop motion welding & grinding is why i'm still watching. Definetly crashcourse for painting, you need to push air in through filter, so room is over preasured with clean air, so it leaves through cracks, not other way around getting dust from all the cracks.

    found this channel by accident, watched a few vids now and subscribed 😄 ....some interesting content and a lot of good learning points. Pretty humorous with the narration too - good style 😀 BTW, the single best thing you can do to prevent water in your airlines is to fit a n electric powered purge valve to the drain on your compressor - cost about £30 in total and you can adjust timing to purge every 30 seconds - that'll sort you out 👍
