so to keep this old battle bus on the road, we discover previous shocking repairs!
we look to replace inner and outer panels and repair the wheel arch.
to do this in a garage would be extremely costly! so I'm giving it a go for a friend to save them money and help get their van back on the road.

That expanding foam is actually factory fitted, not sure why, maybe a sound baffle feature? I found it in the same place on both my sills and they’d never been touched since the factory.

@RetroRatz 3 года назад

That's interesting to know. Thank you. It was very damp and made claim to rotting out that section.

stiffening and noise insulation

The foam in sills is from factory and very flammable 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🦕😁✌️🤞

That factory foam confuses a lot of people. But the manual (Transporter 1991 ➤ Body Repairs - Edition 03.2003) even instructs to inject new insulation foam when replacing the sill... 2K filler foam, Part No. D 000 111 A2

The foam inside the step sill is in fact original! 2K filler foam, Part no. D 000 111 A2

too many welding snobs on youtube , if it's functional it doesn't have to be pretty :)

Good job on the sill, as you said, never mind the welding skills, at least it's the proper method! And I wouldn't complain about your welding, I've seen some real talent through my work, yours is solid and structural so up for the job, seen some welds weaker than the expanding foam.

Chloe your welding’s s**t. Only joking 😁. Folk don’t appreciate that welding is an art but as long as it’s strong who cares 🤷🏽. Love you and Peggy-sue you guys make good content. Keep safe guys.

I'm finding that expanding foam all over my van. Absolute nightmare stuff

@HubertusSchaper 3 года назад

Hey, Retro there are quite some rotten places, in the outer and inner rockers. Gives you some welding work to do. Good luck and stay safe.Greetings.Hubertus.

Did you use any gas when welding? the welds look very porous, they will stick but in time they will fail. Good on you for having a go at replacing the sills, the T4's all seem to rot in and around the same places.
