Cleaning and Sandblasting the Frame

Part 4. Vanagon TDI project continues! Here we remove unnecessary components and sandblast the whole frame. It was a lot of work, but the end result will be well worth it!
Sandblasting is still miserable.

You're very experienced &good at what you do.

Great job Oli , always enjoy watching your videos !

[@doukisx]

Dedication!

[@walterbutscher8438]

Thats a great job. Full on family project. Everyone's involved. Body looks great. Where did you find such a nice one with minimal rust. Can't wait to see the progress on this. Happy Holidays Ollie you and the family.

It definitely is a project which inevitably everyone is helping in. But that makes it fun too! I searched for almost a year to find a rust free one that was reasonably priced. This is a California vehicle which I found in Texas. The second owner moved and took the van from CA to TX. Wishing you a merry Christmas and happy new year as well! Thank you 😀

@Oli's Garage thats awesome and it looks great already

[@pyronitro]

Thanks!

I feel for you brother. I’ve done more sand blasting than I want to remember.

[@mathewwelsh9129]

I'm interested in your project and fascinated by the complete teardown. Very intimidating to see because you obviously know a lot about this stuff, and I don't. If you do more videos it would be great to have a bit more explanation about little details like why you covered what looks like the CV joints in plastic bags when you were washing. Rather than having two minutes of time lapse just watching you wash the car, it would be good to have some more tips and tricks and understand your thought process as you were going along?

[@OlisGarage]

I totally can. But I have all of the footage. I might start re-editing and making them more detailed. Thank you for the thoughts and suggestion.

Hey! Just finding your page. I have an 85 and a 72! Nice work! I post some videos too

How long did the sandblasting part take ? What set up did you use? My gravity fed cheap sandblaster won’t hold up to do the frame of my bus

VW's provided enough hole in it's vehicles for their rats to come & go as their leisure crapping all over my car smell like rat pop.
