- Removing and preventing rust in a van is absolutely non negotiable prior to converting a van. Because not only will you struggle to fix any rusty patches once the interior has been fitted out, but you'll probabaly have no idea its there in the first place!
In this video, I show you my 4 step approach to removing and preventing rust. If you'd like to follow my process, you can purchase the products from the links below.
This series has now moved to the new Matt's Van Channel!

Wire Brush for Drill (My favourite but requires powerful drill)

Wire Brush for Angle Grinder (A great alternative to the drill if underpowered)

My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 23 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation. I now teach City and Guilds Furniture Making at Rycotewood as of September 2018.
I also had 5 years of experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands.
During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite 'Tool Duel' where I compare two competitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best.
I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.
Lets go make a mess.

Due to the popularity of this Van Conversion series, I am relocating it to a dedicated Van Conversion Channel!
1st of all, this video was straight to the point to the point. N0 non-sense, just pure workable info.
okay I've literally jus watched about 3 hours of van rust removal videos and thank gawd I finally ended up on your video. Exactly the info I needed and a great video to watch to boot. You can be as pedantic as you want so long and you make great content like this! Subscribed & Liked
I've used one of those twisted wire cups on an angle grinder for removing rust and it worked a charm
I like that your video isn’t filled with a bunch of bs music video crap like so many with van videos. Thank you kindly.
Always a good start to the day to see you've posted a new video, I really like your balance between being informative and human! Glad you're in a position to be posting more again...
Just like to thank you for these vids these will really help me in my mission. looking forward to your finished van. good luck
I really like these small episodes
One important remark: Rust stabilizer work only on rust area. If the rust has been mechanically removed from the area, rust stabilizer has no purpose.
When you do something, you do it perfectly.
These twisted wirebraid brushes are available for angle grinders, too. Most aggressive way to get to it, while actual GRINDING afterwards with 150 grit on the 115 or 125 angle grinder would remove the parts of non-loose rust wire wheels do not address.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Overkill's underated especially when it comes to rust 😉
The abrasive discs are meant to be used at a low rotation speed so you need an angle grinder with variable speed adjustment. They degrade much slower if used at the correct speed. They are better than wire brushes (on an angle grinder) because the wire brushes can quickly become to hot and therefore polish the rust but don't really remove it. Your electric drill has a much lower rotation speed, this is why the wire brush worked a lot better on it.
thank you lord for this video. I'm on exactly same stage of my sprinter van conversion and I was wondering how I should tackle rust problem. My 2012 sprinter is in good condition but it has a lot of scratches inside just like yours. In my car, rust also collects under the seals at the windshield, but also at the sliding doors. Will you also remove rust in these places?
My van was like a colander after taking the ply liner out. (Some muppet had even gone into the diesel tank with 3" screws. I couldn't understand why it didn't start leaking diesel till I took the ply up) Having wire brushed as per I then sealed up the smaller screw holes with very short self tappers dipped in Hammerite.
Getting a 2010 Mitsu Outlander in a couple weeks. Can not wait to convert into a stealth camper type, hit the roads, no destination.
They do a twist wire brush for the grinder. The one you had used is just a crappy diy sort of one. Pretty sure screwfix do them. Though mind your body with it. High speed wire is always good fun
Awesome video. How’s the rust repairs holding up never later?
great video, thank you... can you follow the same procedure with the rust thats outside the van ?
