Window Sill Rust Repair The RIGHT Way | 1978 VW Bus Restoration

#restoration #vwbus #rustrepair
On this episode we head back to Tyler's house to work on his 1978 VW Baywindow Bus. His window sills are quite rusty and the one we are working on was previously repaired with some foam filler. In this episode we will be cutting out all the rot and welding in some fresh metal for a high quality repair that should last for years to come!
If you have any questions concerning the wiring harness modifications feel free to leave a comment and I will respond to you every time! Thanks for giving this video a watch and remember to subscribe for more content like this!

[@KrisCrawford]

Still my favourite channel 👌🏻 Granted, we miss the weekly PBR antics, but you’re havin a ball, it’s not all YT content 🤟🏻

[@flame0814]

Seeing your journey helps me really much figure out how to succeed in my own, i am restoring an old car with similar problems to your vw. Maybe one day ill start recording my journey as well, thank you very much for these videos

[@trustjah]

Tank you for showing us. 😉

[@slimpickins3425]

I was wondering where you were! Thanks for posting , we get it that you have a life and career outside of you tube . your work makes it look so easy, i love your methods and you inspire others to get out and do some fab work, at least me anyway!

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

I'd like to see more work on your bus.

[@chrisduffy2891]

Glad to see you posting new content, been wondering where you had gone

[@hummv8]

GREAT JOB!!!

[@mcmotors100]

Lovely job! Good to see you again, at ‘minus eight’ Id want to hibernate 🤣 (I think some more of that window could do with cutting out and replacing 🤷‍♂️)

[@ralfhighlander8321]

very good 👍👍👍

[@benshore7357]

Looking good

[@greened57]

Well there you are !

[@spinyuk]

You always make it look easy :) I've been spending time trying to replace the lower door skin on a sliding door for my '78 and i'm going to need to chop it out and do it again, I got impatient and very noticably warped it, not even filler can save the damage i did. Still, its all practice :)

[@bobmcelvogue8133]

Great to see you back again. Chil man. Post when you can. It’s always a treat to watch. 👍

[@Son_of_a_Biss]

Thanks again for your help, support and patience on this project! You’re a next level professional!

[@supremebeing7834]

Woooo new vid!

[@BrandonsBus]

Every window on my bus has this issue, the og window seals must have a design flaw or something. Nicely done dude!

[@abefehr6155]

Holy moly you’re back really missing your videos

[@louisvanrijn3964]

That is a very neat repair. 9:14 I owned a green one, just like you. Sold it when it had 420.000 kms... still running... unbelieveable tough cars.

[@tavogodinez7491]

Great Job man, very cool. I have a 77 im working on. Any chance you could do a short video on how you set up your welder. I know you mentioned to do what works for you but maybe a short vid could get us started?

[@johnb1691]

Nice to see you back making videos. I look forward to seeing all the progress on you bus as well as your friends bus. I have a couple of busses myself. I have a 1972 tin top and a 1974 Westfalia that I will be respiring someday.

[@raysher265]

Great to see you back I have missed seeing your videos 😂😊👍

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

Nice work, I miss your videos. I really enjoy them.

[@georgeclements2742]

Good to see you back. Best wishes.

[@StraightSixGarage]

Great work! Hope to see your bus again soon too!

[@AlbieSol560]

Minus 8C ! Great work !

[@meakins355]

Look up UFC fighter Kyler Phillips, I actually thought for a second you were fighting on the UFC 299 prelims lol.

[@callanderbarbers]

great work Kris

[@stephenfoster9009]

Hi, great job, I noticed a hole an inch from your weld. Just curious why you didn’t include it in your repair?

[@fastboy8315]

on the vid it takes around 8:00 minutes ... how long you needed for this repair ? nice job !

[@FhVW]

How do you know beforehand what thickness metal you need?

[@HiddenTreasureBank]

Abey Naya video Kab daale ga

[@zeez4178]

Could of treated the inside a bit beneath the repair.

[@Vangabonders]

The area inside the repair is accesible from the inside since the interior panels are currently removed 👍
