So after 5 years of ownership on my lovely vw t4 caravelle, I decided it was time to attempt to repair the rust around the windscreen. The cheapest option for me was to ring insurance and put in a claim for a new windscreen as my screen is cracked and would probably fail an MOT as it is. So it turned out autoglass was the company that would be coming to remove the windscreen, and within half hour or so the guy had removed the screen and removed the old sealant. They will be back to fit a new windscreen once I've repaired the rust and let the paint set for a few days to harden. After the screen was out my nephew @TomMattin and I set out to remove the rust, which luckily was only surface rust, so after some rust treatment with rust off v' the bare metal was primed with etch primer and once dried high build primer was applied.
I have a few rust patches around the van to be getting on with and repairing, Some of the repairs will require to be welded and others may just get away with rubbing it back to fresh metal then painting and filling. I have a few patches around the windscreen and some down the sills. And maybe the arches to repair as well, but we will get to the rest of it in another video, today I'm just going to focus on the windscreen
All of the paint I have used is from automotive paint supplies here in Southampton. The staff are very friendly and helpful and were able to meet my every need. Visit www.automotive... and become lost in a world of paints, fillers, and tools, some of which you would never know existed.
