Just an average guy doing various random projects in my spare time.
I bought a T4 thinking all I had to do was kit out the back. I removed a ply panel and there were rust holes everywhere. Lots of work to get it back in shape!
The mk4 golf is my work horse. Always loved mk4's and have plenty projects planned for it. Eventually it will be retired from work once I get another vehicle.

Fantastic job, what thickness steel did you use? Cheers
Lol now your asking. Its 20 gauge I think..
@@neil... easier to shape
@@LordFlashheart1 thats the theory anyway
@@neil... better than using JB-Weld though 😅
Great vid, currently doing the same to mine. Do you know the reasoning as to why the rust treatment had to be done again, as in why did it turn white at first and not black? cheers
Temperature and air moisture definitely make a difference. Its good stuff though
@@neil... righto, thanks pal
Hi friend wonderful job! I am trying to do the same on my a3 8l that has squared fuel cap box, I've seen some pics on internet so someone managed to do. Do you think I need the metal circle like yours to weld onto the original shape? Sorry for my bad English
Hows the van coming along neil? Aint seen any videos lately so hopefully your just cracking on with it and aint had time to upload any new progress videos. The inner part of the chassis that holds the top of the damper has broke on my t4 and are wondering if cutting through the floor in the back is the best way to get in to weld it? 🤔
Hiya David, tbh I've not even looked at the van in a very long time. Theres been a lot going on my end 🤯. I am planning on giving myself a kick shortly and get back at it.. I've been putting bits in my ebay basket so its summin haha. I've not been completely idle, I've been building a workshop in my back garden to give me somewhere to work and make vids.. if its the bit I'm thinking about in your van then aye, probably getting in through the floor would be easiest.. sm I correct in saying you're in Scotland? 🏴
Well done Neil better than it was.
Did you bolt the wings on after all? Was it difficult?
Hi mate, I've had quite a lot going on and not been near the van in months... I had a flick through my videos there, halfway through part 51 goes into more detail on the wings. Its pretty simple. Hope this helps 👍
Thanks Neil beautiful place.
Hi, how do you join the inner wheel arch to the outer ? I was expecting spot welds but I don't think there are any ? seam sealer or tiger seal maybe ? Must be something stopping moisture getting between them ?.... Thanks
Hi Martin.. exactly that mate. I used a seam sealer. But tigerseal or silkaflex will do same thing 👍
Hello Neil thanks sharing good job.
Thanks for watching 👍
Hello, where do you got the measurements for jacking point from?
Hello Jann, sorry for slow reply but I'm a bit upside down... I had taken the old jacking point off and taken the measurements from that. Sorry I can't be more help 👍
Neil mate whats the name of the sliding door strip called im in need of doing mine aswell just not sure of the peice cheers
Same buddy think its called the sliding door sill lip
@P8FPV yeah I think there's a few online from different suppliers
If you find one for the NS cheaper let me know cheers
@P8FPV how much where you finding em bud
£90
Been 2yrs since this post just like to say great seeing people doing there own restoration. Instead of someone paying fortune for a perfect van then saying yeh Look at mine , ive only spent £12000 and sat on drive. Use mine daily great van 3 and half years still chasing rust😂
Hi Peter, Sorry for slow reply, I'm a bit upside down at the moment. .. cheers mate! I appreciate the message. If I had 12 grand it definitely would not be getting used on a rusty t4 haha. Built not bought! 👍
Nice little mod
Hey man! I just found a cheap set of fwd golf IV coilovers. Do you think they ll fit on a fwd mk1 audi tt?
Hi Alex, its been a while mate but I think so.. ill double check with my mechanic Dinky today and get back to you 👍
My t4 i just brought tad rusty as well 😂!!!
Haha I think they all are somewhere! 🤣
Cracking job done for mot stil stronger than it was . I will help in summer and wee make the pick up even stronger 👍👍👍🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
hi how long did it take to weld the whole step /plate
Hi, erm its going back about 3 years ago now.. just a day I think, definitely not any longer than a Sat/Sunday shift
Cool walk done it a few times . Its nice comming down that route on moutin bike. You need to take Sol ti john knoxpullpit a cple hours walk from there its got a nice water fall Good to see yous out exploring . Loads to see in fife 👍👍👍🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
I've been up the pulpit many times mate.. We're gonna go over the Lomonds in better weather
@@neil... take mountin bikes nice run comming down hill . Can't go to fast incase of walkers lol 👍👍👍🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
Its falling apart as you drive it, its a VW thing...
Unfortunately it is an ongoing repair job lol
Neil , buy yourself a joggler , you could’ve used the joggler to punch holes to plug welding the lower lip of the inner sill repair
Will do mate.. the outer will need replacing at some point aswell so its just a temporary 1
Fruit bat I offered such tool . His answer was I will do it properly on restore so be ready for next video 👍👍👍🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️ Ps no seen video yet lol
@chopperhehehe Shhh youve slagged my welding on this enough in person 😂
Added to my g-maps looks like a nice walk. Its been dull, grey and wet for months now. Hope we get a better longer summer like we had in 2020, i may think about getting some welding done. I saw him givin ya the finger. Lol.. kids haven't got a clue have they..
Its really nice on a summers day mate.. theres loads of walks there connecting on to the lomond hills. Aye he's 17 and think he knows it all lol. He's a good lad though
@@neil... yes Scotland is on the visit list, I watch a youtuber called wandering where you should check him out, he's up your way car camping and walking the hills and snow boarding,
@@Hasdac1896 ill have a look mate. Let me know if you do come to Scotland 🏴
@@neil... Will do mate 👍
Hello neil, not touched mine for over a year lost interest. Sat out side rotting away. Looked for some where to do the work but nothing. Weather was cr-ap last year. You'll get ya van finished soon.
Hi mate...I'm in the same boat..not done a thing to it since summer...I'm quite motivated to get going on it again though! Just waiting on the less humid weather for applying filler
I was waiting for the waterfall to be one giant icicle. 😆 We haven't seen icicles in Yorkshire that size since I was a lad in the late 70's. You'd see them off nearly every house down our road.
I would have liked that! Tbh I haven't seen an icicle in years either. Was -2 up here today. Just had a fluttering of snow a couple of hours ago. Cant wait for warmer weather! Or at least less humid. I've got filling to do!
Least it wasnt the t4 or else you would be doing more welding 😉🤙
I wish the t4 was at the driving through puddles stage! Its still sitting with filler on since August..its too humid to get working on it at moment..choking to get at it again
Gr8 video gota do same with mine was wondering how but now ive seen your video you've shown me all i need to know thank you 👍👍
Nice 1 Martin, thanks for watching 👍
So Mr, i believe the gap in the nearside cill is down to the fact you used a cut from the offside, doesn’t matter now because the jobs done, but thought I'd mention it😊
Haha Dave your hard-core binge watching! Ill take your word for it mate.. it was so long ago I'd have to watch the video myself 🤣👍
Haaa, im sure Kev called you a proper CUNextTuesday after that thumbnail 😂😂
So Neil, what made you change rust treatment? Also, I've not got to the end of the series yet but i have another question, presuming the van is now finished. Have you any regrets treating the rust rather than cutting it out? Example, are rust treated areas showing any signs of rust? Cheers bud.
I've used Bilt Hamber rust treatment because it got good reviews on a forum I use. I tried to cut out as much rust as possible, but obviously I couldn't get it all, that's when the rust treatment came in. The van is unfortunately still not finished..I only work on it when I've spare time+extra cash. Ps, I can confirm email still works 👍
Cheers bud, I was checking for an email reply. My van isn't too bad, I have all the panels but awaiting better weather as I have no access to a workshop which is a pity.
Neil, is this part 2 or have you mixed up part 3 with part 2? Edit: after watching to the end, this must be part 2. How long does a belt last on the sander? Or rather, how many belts did you use in this video?
I had to delete part 2 cos I'd put music over it and someone copyrighted me..if I don't make money off my videos (which I dont) noone else is so I deleted it..
Fair play bud. Cheers for sharing your experience btw. Much appreciated.
And, , , , down the rabbit hole we go😂 Like the other guy, I've just came across your channel so I've started watching the series from the beginning 😊 PMSL at the brake master cylinder video 'fkn hing' man after my own heart. Misses said to me, what are you laffing at? my reply. You've heard me working on stuff! We'd be fkd without swear words😂
Hahaha brilliant Dave! Everyone needs a wee swear now and again! Thanks for watching mate 👍
Quick memory test; Curious. What made you decide to change your Master Cylinder? Hard brake pedal?
Hi Dave, I honestly can't remember..but ill ask my mate who helped me do the job.. ill get back to you!
What year of L200 did the roller shutter come from? I would like to do it on my Caddy pickup.
Hi Mikael, I'm not 100% because the guy I bought it from already had it stripped off.. I've looked on eBay previously and seen the same one on a 2007 model (kb4) Hope that helps 👍
Ok i see, does it have any like makers mark or something on it then? I´m in Sweden and been looking around here for roller shutters for L200 but there aint alot of them :P @@neil...
@@MikaelMountainman here is an eBay listing for 1 the same as I fitted www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185916884532?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=CTZ1xmsTRdu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thanks, I really appreciate it :)@@neil...
No part 2?
Hi, no I deleted it..I'd put music over some speeded up bits and someone copyright claimed me

What welder do you use?
Hi Colin. My welder is a Clarke 135te from Machine Mart. Does up to 5mm 👍
Good work 😊
Thanks for watching Toni 👍
Did you have any issues with the jacking points & inner sills, I'm trying to find replacements to weld in
Alright mate, I had to fabricate my own jacking point, ua-cam.com/video/fIRp-k83Ia4/v-deo.htmlsi=dLZ6HNSql4vTMnmf As for inner sill, there's not a panel I'm aware of tbh..I'd recommend central panels..they were the closest fit to factory I found 👍
@@neil... Thanks for the quick comms mucker, I've picked up a very nice T4 at auction but as ever online you cant see the underneath dramas! one jacking point shot and inner sills, looking back now on your videos, cheers happy trails
@@vanlifenomad no worries, happy to try and help.. if its inner arches and inner passenger step id definitely go to Central panels..the arches were out of stock when I done mine so bought an equivalent..it was miles out.. I had to do a lot of adapting to it..wish I'd waited! My videos are me learning on the job..I'd never welded before buying the t4. Good luck with your build..hopefully not too many gremlins.
@@neil... I was new to camper builds three years back just necked in and got on with, I'm buying a welder! thanks for the contact and info
@@vanlifenomad I had to get advice on welders when I bought mine..tbh I still don't know much about them, just that mine works..its the Clarke 135te from machine mart..it was about 400 quid if I remember right..I'm sure there's better but its never let me down....ditch the disposal bottles if yours comes with them, false economy..put a deposit down on a hobbyweld bottle 5% argon mix.
Id love one of those pick ups cool as foooook 🤩
Haha cheers David, it looks like a bag of $h1te the now..but I have new wings for it..and a new bumper I got incredibly cheap, already primed...I just need to spray them all...but I've plenty to do before that..its due its Mot on Saturday 🤨
@neil... Good luck with the mot. Still looks good even as it stands. Bet the parts are hard to come by?. There's a yellow one that lives down the road from me. The owner works at the local garage
@@davidhenderson7722 thanks man..the parts are hard to find..ebay wants 50 quid just for a passenger door handle.. joke..if its yellow its probably the fun edition..they are more sought after..they have bigger bumpers skirts etc, the back bulkhead also slides out with 2 more folding seats..but personally I prefer the standard looking pickup. I want bigger wheels at dome point
@neil... that's shocking the price of parts. Just found a yellow one on ebay with the slide back rear seat. Didn't know that about them. I've seen a similar pick up but it was a proton I think. 👍
mega job mate! definitely one of a kind, well done
Thanks for watching 👍
99% better then it was buddy
Cheers man, its another new skill. And a lot harder than it looks..Still got the other side to do. Its not near as badly warped though. Probably should have started on that side lol
Nice work 👏 👍
Thank buddy...yeah you defo get better at editing i could kinda tell this was your first video 😊 But thanks again for all the videos im sure I will be watching a few more times once I get some more panels ordered 😅 Also bought a finger sander the other day to help the progress. Mine was fiberglassed over rust holes you can imagine inner sill/inner arch also the front main support for the crash bar mehhhhh Once done its going to be a solid van tho eh "he says with only limited welding experience lol"
A finger sander is a must! Cut the widest belts down using snips, far more economical.. Central panels were the closest to factory fit i found..I believe they are a tad cheaper via phone instead of ebay..
Been watching a few of your t4 videos due to buying a 98 rust heap t4 😂 So thought I'd start from video 1 😉
Haha welcome to the rusty t4 club mate. Its a never ending battle..my editing gets better as the videos progress. I think anyway lol. Thanks for watching 👍
Nasty weather mate, geo engineering going on…take care.
Yea I've never seen it like that before
Hope you emptied hoover of all the water lol Wet up your way lol 👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
I did. And rinsed it all out at the back of me 👍 left it better than I found it lol
@@neil... Nice one chears Some rain we had 👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
