Hello! Your work on this T3 is amazing! I watch every video of yours. I find it very inspiring. My bus is in a little worse shape, but thanks to the tips and tutorials you post, that will change soon! Greetings from Bulgaria! Please share a little more about the metalworking machines, presses and tools you use. Especially those for forming the corners and reinforcing bends.

[@pyronitro]

comments a year plus later... i would like to see all details. but understandably not realistic. it does help to at least show the tools and major steps once in a while. its great for beginners and also to see how others do the work. Thanks!

[@HubertusSchaper]

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks Dave! Don’t know about talent, it’s just patience and perseverance.

[@sgsax]

Nice job rebuilding that corner. All the patches look nice and clean. One this is for sure on this project, you will get plenty of practice welding. 😁 Thanks for sharing!

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks Seth! I definitely getting some practice in!

[@littlejool5]

Very useful again, going to have to make that pillar section myself so great to see how you did it.

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks Jules! It’s a bit intimidating at first but if you take it down to the individual shapes it can be done!

[@littlejool5]

@@OllarisGarageyes I'm abit nervous but if it's made of metal it can be fixed, you made an excellent job of it, and saving an old classic is worth the effort.

[@garagemonkeysan]

What a ton of work. Great job, especially getting the shots in such a small space. Glad you bought some body work tools. Mahalo for sharing! : ) 🐒

[@OllarisGarage]

I’m glad too. I wanted to get some to play around and this was the perfect excuse to buy them especially that one of the replacement panels costs more than all the tools that i bought.

[@keithrichardsson9008]

Hey Sebastian, you should be putting down liquid lead under those plates, then when you spot weld or weld you get a lead flow just as the factory did. It's not expensive or difficult, but the end result is much much better. Cheers and thanks for the great videos.

[@leobrent7926]

Great work Sebastian! You are really getting good at bodywork. Keep showing us the process please :)

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks Leo! I’m surely getting the practice!

[@keithrichardsson9008]

Yes show more like these.

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Another very enjoyable video - more of the same please ! I only wish I could produce such great work.

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks a lot! I’m sure the editing and the camera makes it look better than it is🙂

[@williamallison1029]

Enjoyed the video very informative thanks BA94 Antrim n Ireland

[@samx9024]

With seam sealer. Try applying a gob smooth it the way you did. Then with glove on apply WD-40 to gloved finger and smooth out. Also WD-40 will remove sealer, silicone, and vulcanizing caulk from your skin. Thanks for the content I just purchased my first syncro!

[@OllarisGarage]

Congratulations to getting a syncro! I’ll definitely try the wd40! Did you encounter any issues with painting over it? Or did you rinse it of after the seam sealer is dried?

[@samx9024]

@@OllarisGarage let the sealer dry and rinse it off before painting.

[@OllarisGarage]

Cool! Is brake clean ok for that?

[@samx9024]

@@OllarisGarage Im sure it is. I generally use a light detergent in warm water. Then I will dry with cloth. Hit it with compressed air if your in a rush to ensure all the moisture is removed.

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks! I give it a try!

[@ivandragos7437]

Just came across your impressive videos as I am about to start some work on my T3 Camper. I don't have your skills but I am about to start repairing the rusty seams on my van and then reseal them. Do any of your videos cover step-by-step seam repair? If not, will your future videos include seam repair? Thank you for helping us keeping our VW's alive! BTW, someone below mentioned that you are Magyar -funny as I'm half now living in Canada...Cheers and thanks for the good work you do!

[@ml-iw7rb]

Mulțumim!

[@OllarisGarage]

Thank you for your support!

[@lucap5060]

Good job Sebastian! Maybe you can do a shorter video about the remaining bodywork, so it isn't too much time-consuming editing it and we keep up-to-date with your work

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks for your input! The editing is not too bad. It is worth my time if some of you get something out of the videos!

[@sjoerdschaafsma9523]

More more more 😁👍

[@c-watorman-ko2911]

how do you open side doors if you lost the keys....bought the truck with locked doors

[@OllarisGarage]

Do not break the lock if possibe! They are hard to get. Google lock picking tools and watch a few videos. In worst case you could call a locksmith.
