Great video as always, looking to buy a bus and this video's timing is perfect!
I just bought a 77 bay today , getting it delivered tomorrow so this video is a great refresher course for me . I already own a 72 so kinda know what I can sort out and what i can’t . Wish me luck .
Delighted for you buddy, hope it’s all and more than you need or want, best wishes Antonio🤙
Brilliant informative video a must for anyone thinking of buying one of these vans - thank you
Thanks so much Andy, great comment 🤙
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m just 16 almost 17 years old trying to find myself a beautiful vw van:) this video helped me a lot!! Going to look at a van soon thanks to your video giving me this great info😄
Outstanding content! Thanks for the video. Those are some great tips.
Great video, but if you see my current project, you will see, that those problems at the T2 bus, you show in your video, are not the real problems. For example the sill below the sliding door is rusted from the inside. If you open it, you will see that the whole carrier ist gone, mostly. The only way to judge the quality of such an old bus, is to use an endoskope camera. All other thing, can be done easily. Kind regards Ralph.
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 🤙
Brilliant video, very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Hopefully I won't buy a rot box now 😁.
Thanks Cuzzy, best wishes on your search 🤙
Thanx for the info, a week late in viewing as i bought a 1978 T2 last week. There are issues in all the areas that uve mentioned but i can weld so will have all fixed soon !!
@@Joesrustbuckets major factor for buying, was new vw heritage engine and gearbox fitted in 2016, eh 18,000miles ago ! Runs sweet !!
Thats a great in depth look into the body love the Type 2 bay window but in the UK prices are so high and you need to go in with your eyes wide open I'd so love one but the T3 T25 Vanagon seems the more worthwhile purchase for me as im slowly looking for one
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
Awesome video - thank you, I am looking at a bus today and now know what to focus on. Thank you for doing this and doing such a detailed job.
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.🤙
Nice guide. I’ve got to start the bodywork on mine this summer. My welding is going to need to radically improve.
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
Excellent video and very well explained!! You did an awesome job!! I like that wrist band on your left wrist!
Thanks for the tips Joe.. a bus has been on my bucket list for a good few years and a heads up on watch to look out for is great.
The thing about asking for 10 mins alone - I’d always have done that, and always allowed it but recently have heard of someone doing that to two seemingly very keen buyers who brought tools “to be able to have a good look at everything” on a T5 Camper.
They seemed super interested, took their time to look everywhere but then didn’t even talk about buying and headed off.
The seller was confused, felt in her gut there must’ve been a scam but couldn’t figure it out.
Went out the next morning to find oil in the coolant and when the recovery man came he said he’d seen it before, they ask for time on their own, add oil to the coolant and wait for it to reappear for sale at a lower price for spares/repairs 😭
So given my bus is both my lifeline and my pride & joy - anyone coming to see it can look wherever they want but I’ll be glued to their side as they do it.
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 🤙
Congratulations on the 1k!!! X
I have delved into your videos t0night... very enjoyable and informative thanks x
Hi, Joe first congratulations on the 1K subscribers you deserve a lot more. when that`s mentioned further in this video as usual great content and usable as a learning book for potential new VW T1 T2 and T3 buyers to attend where and what to look for before one does buy the object or leave, you surely have a lot of projects out there on your property so you will not run out of work the coming years, stay safe take care and watch your health buddy.greetings.as always from the Dutch 🇮🇪❤️☮️💥🙏🏻🍀👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇱🇳🇴Norwegian.Hubertus
@@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
a good video Joe and a lot off tips to looking out for.
great work Joe, keep them comming.
@@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👍👍👍
Great video Joe! Thanks for all the details. I know first hand the rust issues with my two 72 bays. The both have some serious rust. Who's the German Shepard around the 24min mark? =)
Hi, first of all, great video! I have a question, there is a guy in my neighbourhood selling a 1968 type A T2 with a chassis and motor that run perfectly. The price is decent (around 8k). the only thing that is really rusted to the core is the gutter piece. I happen to know someone who sells repairpieces for the T2 gutter. Would you know how hard it is to make the repair when the gutterpiece is already pre-shaped?
@@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?
Great video. A generally better buy is one from a dry state/country (if you don't mind LHD), they are generally pretty good, like your one.
All my classic Vdubs (apart from one) were US dry state, or Swedish imports and they are night and day better than most UK RHD stuff, so definitely a better start.
Thanks Joe. Very informative video…
@@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
Thanks for this. I was just given a 1990 Brazilian T2 kombi abandoned in a container, and I am trying to decide of I will keep it and restore it. appears to be in good shape, at least way better shape than this one. I worked in a body shop as a teenager for a while, but know nothing about the particular quirks of the VW kombi (I am more of an off-road Toyota person). They seem to be quite a different animal, but I find it encouraging how fanatical the Kombi fans are about them.
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.
Don't need a magnet for the one I'm buying. Need a stick to see how deep the holes are :P
@@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.
I have a 68 (made in 67) and a 79 (made in 78) and there are huge differences between the last and first production of the bay window. I have restored both, and the 68 is much easier to work on, it has a lot less going on. The main places are going to be the windows, lower nose, dog legs, inner dog legs, and gutters. If you see any rot under the windows be careful, and look out for bondo! You also want to avoid a bus that has been "patched" up by amateurs. If you have a real restoration that is different.
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.
