[@barryfudgeman4400]

Big thank you! Looking to buy a camper atm, would love to own a T25 and trying to learn all I can before I spend the money. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I´m kinda watching for a good, original T3 campervan. This video is probably the most extensive and detailed i´ve seen, when it comes to the car body. Thanks!

[@frankmcinroy603]

Good advice , check every seam

[@allanriches9381]

Excellent video, I am looking at buying a T3 in Australia, this video has helped, will watch your other vids

[@caitlincondrey7267]

Thanks for this video, very helpful! I didn’t want to go into buying blind and think I have a better chance at getting a good van now!

To stop some rust at front screen base and water leaking inside the van with the aftermarket rubber molds you can cut a groove with a dremel to drain the water from each front bottom corner the after market windscreen molds are meatier than the genuine ones.

@@Joesrustbuckets I'm the only guy that's done it so far, last time I was at panel shop He commented how innovative it was what i did. Just made sense to me if the water is pooling you drain it.

What a helpful channel. I am so glad I found you. I'm just about to replace my offside step and will be checking everything else mentioned before I respray my bus. Thanks for all of your experience

Really wish I saw this before buying my t25 😢

[@freddyflint8309]

Thank you for sharing this. You are absolutely right, showing the hot Spots to Look at. I have bought a Westfalia T3 a des years ago and didnt know the spots, I know now. Anyhow they are all Minimum 30 years old now and do have their individuel problems. You have to make a decision whether to accept it and invest in repair or restauration.

Good job explaining everything!! Harry from Canada

[@alagnianos]

I am glad i found your channel, bought myself a T3 some weeks ago which apparently..has more rust underneath as it just looks. Great work on the arches, keep up the good work

[@bugsterbuggly7308]

Very informative, thanks for taking the time to show us.

[@kombivan]

they are not battery boxes at the rear. You also missed the really bad rust spot above the rear tail lights a very sneaky spot on my van drip check was not used too seal the over lapping panel that collects the water running down the rear pillar.

[@kombivan]

At the top of front pilars the roof rusts from condensation rising up the inside of the front pillars you can see the rectangle tube under the van infront of the front wheel where condensation rises

I hope you’re still renovating! It’s too late for me to know what to look for and avoid. I’ve bought it. My garage owner suggested I patch my T25 and sell it. Nope. I don’t care if she’s not pretty. A very is not for Xmas, it’s for life. Or it will seem like it!

[@sorchajones1788]

Not very, VW

[@kombivan]

Don't hose inside or spill water inside the rear as it ends up in the sill in front of the rear wheel and rusting just repairing the area is the go and put the holes in to allow water to escape.

[@trevbrady]

Nice run though Joe, fair play!

[@bradleyd6640]

Nice video, thanks for your knowledge

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420]

Yeah?... Yes

Just saved me from buying a rot box, owe you a pint

[@JY-ep1nq]

Great info, thank you!

[@sim6699]

Are bays or t25 worst for going rusty and ease of repair?

[@cottonbythesea2208]

Hi Joe. I'm just wondering how much would u get a decent vw van for with no real issues. I'd really love a vw camper but I've no one to view it with me and I haven't a clue about pricing. I've a budget of 10000.am I wasting my time buying something for that price. I just came across u and your videos are great.

@@Joesrustbuckets - hi Joe, we’ve been looking for a good later example T25 camper so if you know of any we’d be interested; am in England but once things open up have been wanting to visit Ireland as our first van trip! Thanks so much for your valuable advice here 👍🏻🙂

If only we could go back and time and keep Westy from stuffing that insulation in the walls between the B and C pillar under the window. Imagine how many busses we could save.
