Hi CT
Have been following your channel for about 2 months and its great info for a veedub fan. Some suggestions that you may have overlooked
1 use theeye and ear protection you bought earlier
2get an adjustable creeper so when under the busyou wont kink neck, and stay off the cement floor
3there is a spray available from B andS resto shop up here in southern Ontario GTA are that stops existing rust on the vehicle. It is really great. Try it and good luck with the restoration😊👍
@@adiliqbal4509 Hello Adil! Thanks for the support and advice my friend! I will check them out!
CT i
CT - while I like the progress you making, you are falling back into the trap of not being methodical. You switched from the rear engine shelf to the battery tray to that little panel under the rear hatch. In the process you lost all of the reference points that you will need to get all of those sheet metal parts reassembled with the correct geometric relationship to each other. I strongly urge you to slow down, work on one panel at a time and get things back together so that the van is safe, strong and looks good.
The other thing is - use your angle grinder to cut the spot welds rather than trying bash them apart with a chisel.
Get a plasma cutter take 10 mins finished .
chisel on a drill you also need.
your doing a grate job just hand tools is old hat take forever .
Hello Joun! That is great advice! I will get one soon! Thank you! Stay tuned!
You started on pice that is quite hard to remove. You should get more practice on easy to remove parts. The first step is always to figure out how the parts were put together in the factory and then find all spot welds and mark them.
A hint on using the spot weld cutter: center-punching the spot welds prevents the spot weld cutter from walking around.
Use panel separating tools or chisels after drilling out the spot welds. Otherwise you will also rip the panel you intend to save.
Avoid cutting through the panel you want to save. The spot weld cutter makes very large holes that are difficult to weld up. The perforated wheel house panel will burn away when you try to weld in the repair panel. I know that the frame rail prevented access from the other side. In that case grinding down the spot welds with a belt sander would have solved the problem.
Be as gentle as possible when removing panels. I know, pros often aren't. They have their own ways to fix the damages if necessary. But we are amateurs and don't have a workshop full of tools.
Agree, - main attention must be not to destroy the panels that the new ones attach to !
That is great advice and I really appreciate you sharing! I will do that. I like the idea of marking the spot welds with something. They were hard to see.
cut away the old panel and roll up the edge like a can of spam. you gotta remove as much metal as you can then just roll up the final edge. OR leave it there since there is so much rust the metal is thin, you can use the double stacked metal to weld on to.
getting after it 👍...like i said earlier , get one of those sweet rides in the driveway going for an evening cruise after bathing in rust and crust for hours :)).
You're one to be talking. Lol still got that square back?? You must be doing something seeing as the wife hasn't killed you....yet. lol

That's just mean bwahahaha!!!!
HAHA! You might be right! =) Thank you! Stay tuned!

I hate to be so critical, but your out of your depth and haven,t got a clue what your doing, if you insist on going forward buy a joiners FEATHER SPLITTER CHISEL, about 2,1/2 inches wide, put one corner in between panels at 45% hammer down and along at same time to remove panels.Just watching makes me cringe, this is where the old oxy-acetylene welding plant came into it,s own.Your rear corner panels need replacing from just under bump swage downwards. please get it acid dipped before wasting anymore time or money on bottomless pit.
Just cut back to solid metal and weld. You don't have to use the whole replacement part.
I might do that once I figure out how to get the old metal out! =) Thank you! Stay tuned!
I really enjoy following your channel. My biggest gripe is that the videos DO NOT follow in cronalogical order. Can you fix this annoying problem? I really want to see what you do with the 914. I have two sitting on the back burner.
No matter how many times you pull and twist that piece and your high hopes aren't going to loosen and remove it .... follow the seems....drill out the spot wells and you should be able to pry out the piece.
you are too slow, your videos are interesting but they make me sleepy, I advise you to speed up the work or you will end in 2030 !!! it seems you are afraid of hurting this rusty van, please cut decisively !! Richard Rawlings is watching you!! ;-) Please don't use your hands to detach the rusty pieces, use the rotary blade cutter !! Speed up!!!
Hey Fabio! HAH! I'm trying brother! Try watching them at night before you go to sleep! =) Richard is watching? =O
Hi CT, Things are always hard when you first try them, if you have enough talent you'll eventually get it. Keep on bussin.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I will! You as well my friend! Stay tuned!
Hey CT, love your videos so much. Rusty comes nice along. Please don't throw away your original VIN that's stamped into the engine compartment shelf on the right hand side.
Hello MF, thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I will keep it. It is pretty cool how the small one was hiding behind the other.
Flattened out cardboard boxes are used on some garage floors (to soak up oil and anything else that falls to the ground) and I've never seen the rusty metal removal done without an angle grinder. Hammer lightly to identify areas which need to be replaced, cut out any metal which needs to be removed and is unsuitable to weld to with an angle grinder, clear areas around in preparation for welding with an angle grinder, cut metal to shape to fit in the holes with an angle grinder if you don't have a saw and then clamp and weld into place. You need a better angle grinder than the drill attachment. I've watched a lot of these types of videos with interest and if anything has been learned if you're going to weld to a surface you make sure it's sound by hitting it and ruthlessly remove anything that you think you need to get out. An angle grinder with both a cutting wheel and a flapper disc for cleaning up areas to be welded to is almost standard - give it a bit of thought. Check this out on angle grinder safety ruclips.net/video/IIQu1e8DGUw/видео.html you'll use two hands, the guard and googles I think.. Great to see the progress though...
Hey Stephen! that is great information my friend! thank you so much! I will watch the video! Thank for tall the advice !
I am no expert on body work but, It looks like it would be better to replace the outer rear panel before anything inside. It looks like you will need to weld to the outer part to hold the battery tray and the other parts connected to it. Check with someone who has done it, Mustie1, VW life or anyone else you may know. Just a thought.
remember CT wherever there is seam sealer there is spot welds.
Thanks Mike! Good to know!
Cheapest tool for that type work is an hand held air hammer/chisel with panel cutting bit. Their cheap and you got that nice compressor. I'd get a cheap creeper and coveralls too. That lying on you back on concrete will get old fast. No kidding an air chisel will go through those spot welds in 3 sec. And the panel cutting bit will come in real handy on body panels. $14.99 Harbor Freight.
You be careful now CT working with rusted sheet metal
Don't tear of rusted metal just cut it with a tool
Yes sir!
Why not calling your friends to help you out or even hiring someone man? You need help on this project you are not an expert in welding, cutting, attaching, putting new parts together and most of your vids we can tell you don't what you are doing, its not a shame calling your friends to help you on that, you spent lots of $$ in parts, etc you must get this done right. My opinion. Regards !
Hi CT, Yep need to watch Mike on his metalworking. Just started watching his channel. Guy is good. A plasma cutter is allot better to cut time and noise. Would be a good investment for you. Remember too that don't worry you can always weld in metal and grind down smooth to paint over
Hey Tim! I watch him all the time. He came to my garage a few months back. It was cool t meet him in person. A really great guy!
ruclips.net/video/D5cNPCChddg/видео.html
Five Thumbs Up you go man whith the Plan learn as you go best way😁
Thank you! I appreciate that my friend! =) Learning as I go! Thank you! Stay tuned!
pls replace the end of the chassis rail first (last 12 to 16 inches), it isn't sound enough to weld on. Then focus on the wheel arch and rear corner to keep your reference points.
And like 5150mxVW said get either the Ghia or the 914 on the road to enjoy these sweet rides and have some quality time with your wife.
Hey Peter! That is great advice. I will do that my friend! Thanks for hanging out with me! I appriciate it. Thank you! Stay tuned!
I think the key here is rotisserie.
Charlie Toews haha! Took a little time to build mine, so I’m hoping you are correct! I think I’ll be glad I did it
That would be nice! Maybe Marci can help me build one? =)
Homebuilt by jeff used a different method but still the rotisserie allows you to work standing up. I do love watching mustie1 crawling around under his stuff though.
I think once we get these two busses done, Rusty and Pickle, we need meet 1/2 way to each other and have a two car car show, invite all our friends! Lol film it of course! 😉👍
I'm down for that! =)
I just watched a guy in England getting a bus re built in about as bad condition as yours he got a guy who is good at rebuilding shit, like I used to.old style panel beater like myself, he replaced all panels from bump out swage line just below windows, complete front panel from roof down split screen of course, couple of bottoms of doors ,2nd,hand in great condition. complete new floor wheel arches and all outriggers rebuilt fuel injected turbo, Porsche style chrome wheels and respray , 16wks, had to do it for club meet at Santa Pod in England and also he was club President. HE LOST COUNT OF COST AROUND £24,000. But he made it into special club B W A or Buses With Attitude 1/4mile under 18 seconds, he clocked 17_33 secs.
If you clean the rust away you will see the spot welds to drill out and it will come apart easy
Have you watched any of MicBergsma VW Bus Restorations? Episode 14- Serious Surgery is exactly what you are doing now. Episode 15 as well. Check it out if you haven't already. They show replacing frame sections, body parts, patching and floor panels install.
Yes, he has some really great videos. I watch all of them. There is a lot to learn from watching them. =)
Suggestion....Wear ear protection! Follow your existing seams for removal.
Hey Richard. I totally forgot to put on my ear plugs. That's why it was so load! =) Thank you! Stay tuned!
air pressured tools are much more better for that tasks. battery has no power.
I might pick up some soon and see how they work. Thanks for the advice!
More of my 2 cents worth. I know you don't like cords or air hoses. But you'll find there's a reason air tools have been used for decades. They are the cheapest, most powerful, most dependable and long lasting tools there are. Let that compressor do what it was built for. Powering your shop!!!
You might be right. I'm going to invest in some soon. Thanks for watching! Stay Tuned!
I'm sure you've hear of MicBergsma but in his past couple of videos, he is documenting his bus while it is getting a professional resoration. I've watched each one of them just to see how it is done properly. It was all rusty like yours and it shows how to remove panels, align them and weld in new. They would give you some ideas so you dont have to work as hard. Just wanted to share. Still loving you videos and love seeing the progress.
VDub Addict yes, Mic’s videos are amazing! Thanks for watching man. Stay tuned! 👍😎👍
Your getting a plan together. Don’t get overwhelmed or discouraged and with passion and patience, that bus will get restored.
Thanks James! I appreciate the support and kind words! Thank you! Stay tuned!
Wolfsburg west sells that rear frame repair section part no is 211703110R
Thanks man! I'm going to order that next week. Thank you! Stay tuned!
Man are you in over your head. Hope you have had your Tetanus shots.
if the part is doubtful replace it and only do it once. Instead of beating the old parts out take your cutter/grinder and grind the old metal away, that way you don't bend or weaken the part you need to reuse. It takes some time and effort to get it down where you are comfortable. Keep up the good work and thanks for bring us along.
Thanks Brian! Good advice! I will try that next time! I will take some time for me to get it but I will. Thank you! Stay tuned!
Just my opinion. When repairing anything, be it metal or even wood, you never ever cut all your joint sections at the exact same place. In other words, if you are going to replace that main beam, cut it further back then the rest of the cut and replaced parts. Then you gain strength and not every thing is attached new at the same place. Another good idea is to take a 2", or whatever size you have, disk sander and grind off the rust around any place you are looking for spot welds. before you do anything else. Then use the spot welder drill and drill them free. Then use a thin, but sharp metal tool to separate the metal parts. And work at one area until you get your part removed. Jumping around all over the place usually amounts to basically nothing being really accomplished. Stay with one area and work it to you get it removes. In other words, set your goal to doing one thing and stay with it until you get it like you wanted it. I can see a lot of apprehension in your efforts and work. But you have to get after it more aggressively and learn along the way for then next part removal. Remember, you are working with metal. Any "mistake" is usually easy to fix. Just go after it with some gusto and learn as you go. Keep the videos coming... Thumbs Up!
Thanks Gary! That is great advice my friend! I will try to stick to it. Thank you! Stay tuned!
Wow, there is a lot going on in that corner. Makes for hard work! It's a juggling act to get that many panels back together correctly, but you can do it! Thanks for sharing the process!
Thanks man!
I wont add anything about spot weld drilling,others have covered it but before you go further,get the tape measure and measure from the panels to a permanent point and write the measurement on the car with a sharpie. As often as you like. That way everything goes back where it should be. Nothing looks worse than a piece stuck 1/4" out/ I would also use the rear lid to termine how far the rear quarter needs to be trimmed. Again ,lots of measurements before you start.
I use factory collision diagrams a lot and have often come across old cars with distorted body work from decades
ago which went unnoticed.
I would also suggest that the panels have been changed in the past, I don't think VW would have been gas welding tacks to hold things in place but i dont mind being corrected. Again,the need for lots of measuring,just in case they are wrong.
Great advice my friend! I will do that! Thank you!
At 40:50 saw a cut on the middle finger knuckle
I told you don't tear off that rusted metal cut it
Wear protective gloves
Better take your TT shot bro
That is a lot of work with rusted sheet metal
Yes, I got my shot last year. It's very rusty! =)
CT make sure you leave the upper structure in if not you're going to have to brace in Cross brace you might need to talk with somebody that has done that area that's where your engine goes you can't mess this up
Good idea David. I will get some advice on that.
You should be cleaning all metal/rust and ensuring it is solid enough before you attach the new parts CT. I agree with Peter one area a ta time
That is a good point. I will take a closer look! Thank you!
Hello CT, are you going further with your VW van. Our is the restouration finisched.
Yes, lots more to do on Rusty the VW bus! =)
Hey CT, you have an awesome compressor, you should definitely get more air tools. Way better than battery! Just sayin. Love your videos man! Keep up the great content!
Thanks brother! Yes, I will be buying some soon! Can't wait. Thank you! I appreciate the support and kind words!
Just subscribed. Taking your time and not just hacking away at it is best way to go about it, great job. 👍👍
Hello Ed! I appreciate that my friend! Thanks for watching! Stay Tuned!
Boy that Rusty little piece of sheet metal sure gave you fits didn't it? By the way it's still in there. LOL
Hey Bill! I know. It is a beast to get out. I won't let it beat me. Thank you! Stay Tuned!
OMG, don’t bend, cut the rotten panels all away....
sorry! =)
Looks pretty crusty to me. Metal..metal I need more metal!
Very Crusty! Second choice for his name! =)
You seriously need some experienced assistance
The best way I find to remove all the scrap rusty metal is to cut the majority away as close to where its welded in place, this gives you more room and better view as to how to remove the welds and remaining pieces. Always move the wiring out of the way before cutting, only takes one little slip to cut through it.
CT !! think and look how the parts are welded Drilout the welding spots you working in the wrong way. Think before you destroy more than necessary I am recommending you to take images before you remove those different part and label the places where you weld in the new parts. Greetings HCS.
You may want to look into getting an air chisel. You'll be able to separate the metal the with more ease and less damage. It's looking a lot better back there though. Good progress man! 👍
Thanks Mike! Yes, I'm going to get one soon. That is great advice my friend!

@@CTmoog i hope i dont see you without a air chisel or saying: "i wonder how to fit the rear corner pannel"
its simple: you repair the stuff on the engine bay first then use all of that as an acurate guide to figure out the postition on the corner bit
Can you say center punch? Makes drilling spot welds a lot easier.
Hey Michael! That is great advice! I'll pick up one soon. Thank you! Stay Tuned!
I feel your pain brother. I am also just starting a rebuild project on a 73 transporter. I’d much rather be working on an old split window, but I haven’t found one that I can afford yet. Sometimes it can be overwhelming, not knowing where to start or exactly how to start. But at least your trying. Keep at it, you’ll get there eventually. You might want to try a little time management. Start on one area and finish that before jumping around. Just something I am trying to do. I know its hard. Because I also find myself jumping from one thing to another, but overall I love what your doing. Peace out!
Hey Larry! It's good to have someone who understand. Good luck on your 73 man! I will be looking forward to some videos. Thanks brother!
Hey CT, check out trevs blog channel. He kind of a quirky guy, but he has some good video’s on fabricating sheet metal with simple tools.
You arte working a lot. How much cost this project, you buy a lot of news parts . Good luck
Hello Claudio! Yes, it is a lot of work and money. Thank you! Stay tuned!
Rusty and Pickle need to become a couple and have baby buses when you and Marci are done restoring them.
HAH! =) That would be interesting!
Hey I’d buy Rusty jewelry! And I don’t ever want to hear the words “it’s kinda chilly out” come out of your mouth ever again! 😂😂😉😆
Are you wearing a COAT!!!!🤦♀️what is it there like 70?😂😆sorry have to rib ya a little!!!! Lol great video man! 👍
It’s only cold when the snowflakes ❄️are falling .... Come out to the mountains I’ll show you cold 🤣
Peashooter lol we have had a very mild winter in Indiana this far but there have been winters where we are sub zero for days and here it’s the dang wind!
HAHA! =) It's a different kind of cold! =) You're not buying anything! I'll send you some for free!
Ct I think that tag you found might be the key code for your bus. I had to find a code for my Ghia from one of the door handles and the number looked like that number.
Hey James! Thats good to know. I will dig into it some more this week. What year is your Ghia?
You and Marci makes me want to get a rusty bus.
Hey Jason! They are pretty cool. You should get one! Thank you! Stay tuned!
And you need more ground clearance
The bus floor is too close to your face
I know. I need to get it off the ground.
can i see rusty finished? please!
Time for a plasma cutter.
The back bit if the inner panel was good , cut out the rust only as replacing good metal with after market pattern metal isn’t good . But good luck and everyday a school day ct !!
At 32:36 was happy when you told the piece to get out
You need to talk to the bus
Once you guys are friends then those pieces will listen to you
I appreciate that my friend!
@@CTmoog 😀😁😂
I think I said this a long time ago but you really need a good air compressor with air tools, like a grinder, chisel, cut off tools, and etc. But they are loud :) . Yea a plasma torch would really work nice. When you were ripping off rusty body parts I was thinking you could place the engine compartment door in place and that would give an idea about where to cut off the lower corner pieces under the tail lights. I agree replace that frame rail, it is trash.
Yes there is a place that sells every thing from the ground up.
I would remove the tail lights Brother so they dont get damaged. Rust is a pain always! Your getting it!!
gosc wczesniej umrze niz cokolwiek zrobi
Get your recip saw going with a short blade.
Good idea!
... make a rusty-total-sandblast-show before continue to work on it...
That would be awesome! =)
Мне одному кажется что у мужика руки из 5й точки растут?🙄
Looks like you have a plan CT, having the engine put together will give you a great boost and encouragement. great job, you're going in the right direction in my opinion.
Thanks Tom! I'm working on it! =) I appreciate that!
Do more work. Less admiring your work.. invest in the air chisel my friend. You'll accomplish more.
I NOW WATCHED A COUPLE OF YOUR VIDS1nOT BAD;BUT IT SEEMS YOU DONT REALLY HAVE A PLAN ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING(ups,caps)equipment i would lick my fingers for but....why dont you sandblast the whole thing first??Trying to put all these expensive repair sheets in and not knowing where to weld them???
I like what you trying to do, but you should your grinder more the drills are not a very good tool for what you trying to do, also cut out the rotten pieces and replace them with new steel, I acknowledge your drive to make this a successful project. but you need to improve your skills, the welding machine is certainly an asset. I would love to have a service van like that, in the 70s I did renovation work in Toronto and those vans were very handy.
But keep it up and you will be successful in your efforts.
Why aren’t you using air tools? You have a big compressor and you go buy a side drill and it’s only 12 volts??? Your either a perfectionist or your just slow! Get with it already
Got to find that good steel for sure...nothing more soul destroying than constantly blowing through when welding em up..👍🇬🇧
Good point my friend! I'm getting there slowly...=)
I dignthe video but it would make more sense to have it all bead blasted then do the chop and repair work. Would save some grinding tine as well.
hi CT you invested in a terrific compressor get yourself a pneumatic chisel it makes cutting the rusty bits off easy good luck
Toss the claw hammer and that weapon you were walking. Try getting a plasma cutter and FYI propane torch will remove seam sealer
+Ct Those spot welds are in a distance from about 4 to 5 cm between each point. regards HCS
CT I am for sure not one of those who know better than anybody. I will just say I am still a novice regarding Restoration of an oldtimer but I am still learning-. I have my VW T3 Single cabin hopefully again on the road in autumn 2020 If you are interested to take a peek on my channel you were there in the beginning. Don't miss understand me I don't want support or some support.
@@HubertusSchaper I've seen your channel. Your are a great artist and very talented.
@@CTmoog Thank you kind words I, am still following your channel.Greetings HCS.
harder then you thought it would stop using old methods at least get a cold chisel and be done quickly with a lot less effort. have watched you from the beginnings and I like your videos and do less talking and more showing thank you.
You really do need a plasma cutter, and learn to remove things with a grinder instead of a hammer and chisel. You can’t weld to rust, so you should get a DA to
Let’s get rusty to 80k subscribers!
That would be awesome! =) Thanks Daniel!
Congratulations on 75K subscribers!
THANK YOU!!! =)
Hey CT one piece at a time brother.
Hey Ron! That's the plan brother!
Remember you are the man everyone else is just watching. Maybe an air chisel would be helpful? Its going to take a lot of time and love. Oh and more body panels and pieces. Your doing a good job man.
shartne thanks my friend! 👍😎👍
Metal saw
CT first of all I want to thank you so much for responding to my comments. That's really great of you. Hey on that piece you think you can cut off and weld on another little piece towards the end of the video. Why not go to a metal fabricator and see if they can make you something for cheap. I'm sure they can. Also please please tell me what editing program you are using for your videos. I have my own channel Jimmyrtobaccy and I'm still looking for a program the really works. Would love to help you sometime even if it's just sweeping the garage after you. I'm down in Boca Raton. Let me know. Thanks God bless
Hey Jimmy! I might do that. Looks like a pretty simple section to reproduce. I use iMovie on my iMac. It works great. Come up anytime. Let me know if you're going to be in the Orlando area so we can meet up.
CT ...ita all about your vise grips. and your hammer....oh wait ...donnnnnn't......lmao
Come dicevo sarà un 2020 molto molto costruttivo ad occhio c'è ne di lavoro ma vedo che sei molto deciso ✌️✌️👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
You will muck it the way you are y it look at the new peace and see the way it’s fixed cut away all the rusty bits to get clean metal
Your doing fine, take your time. Before using the spot weld cutter take a automatic center punch and mark the center of the spot weld. That way it will prevent the cutter from walking on you. Harbor Freight sells them. The piece that’s giving you problems on top, cut the top off close to the vertical piece and the you can access the spot welds below. Then used the automatic center punch and cut the spot welds.
