Red Arrows at Falmouth & VW T4 Rust/Paint + New Windscreen :-) 

Yeah, it rained that night too! Having done prep with pros on my T4, don’t use Kurust, it doesn’t work. Use a good etch primer on the metal and a 2k primer on top. Avoid aerosols if you can and spray a proper paint mix on. I used Halfords normal primer and the rust spots came back through after 12 months. Live and learn 😎👍

It's a tough question to answer as everyone uses them for different things. The 102bhp one is stronger with the stronger 02G gearbox but a poorly serviced one of those may be less reliable than a basic 1.9TD. These vans are getting old so service history and a good once over is essential as with any old vehicle. Also check the arches and windscreen for rust as getting it sorted properly runs into thousands. Good luck! :-)

Thanks for the answer !

Well i want one as a reliable daily driver. But well not the weakest of them all i guess

Way too late to say this now but I bought a T4 new in '03, been brilliant until '23, I think letting it stand through lockdown buggered it, have had endless trouble, even the turbo packed up. RAC tow truck man said he rescues more Vdubs than any other type of van.... Mine still not running right, can't believe how many problems I see on RU-vid. I thought I was buying a vehicle for life when I got it, now I'm not so sure. Btw, can't believe the number of moorings in Falmouth these days, you should have seen how few there were in '78!

I applied it straight on bud, two years on and the rust spots have come back a bit. It's ok to buy some extra time but nothing beats getting a proper job done. I want to book my T4 in at Autostyl in Chacewater when I have the money to get a respray

@@SpeedingTube I know this is an old video, but would you say Autostyl are the best locally for a respray?

@@shane555 Yes 100%. Wings off, treated, screen out, welding, the lot. They really get deep into things. I'll be taking mine there once ive finished all the tuning etc.

@@shane555 The Kurust was also a bad move, seems 2k primer is the best

@@SpeedingTube yeah, I put Kurust on my arches and round the windscreen (whilst it was out) and 6 months later it had come back. Not as bad, but still back!

Hey bud, my seam seals were ok so I just made sure I got the Kurust and zinc primer around it. I was quite lucky as the main rust areas were between those areas. I may run a light film of clear waxoil around the top before winter to help keep the water out. Without welding and taking the whole thing apart there's always going to be a bit of rust just waiting for it's moment to come back. T4 life! lol

speedingtube Yeah...I've been chasing the rust for the last couple of years....thinking of rollering Rustoleum Combi colour paint on after sorting out the rust this time!!!

You can get a kit on ebay that drains the water from the top of the bonnet better. It keeps the interior of the wings drier especially if leaves and stuff get stuck in them.

@@makjames1714 cheers Mak. I think I've seen them, some sort of tube system I reckon. I'll have another look 👍

Mak James wow, do you have a link for these kits? Ta👍

Masavatta Alpha Romeo seats bud 😎👍🏼

Hi :-)
