Looks OK. Good to see a T4 being saved.  Listening to the sound of the MIG arc, maybe increase wire speed a tad more so you get a consistent 'frying bacon' sound and not a popping and stuttering sound. I'm fairly new to welding too, and I found the sweet spot on my old SIP Migmate by testing wire feed on old scrap steel then slowly cranking up wire speed until you get a consistent 'frying sound'. Then crank up wire speed until the arc starts popping and the nozzle is forced back due to wire not being melted quick enough for the selected voltage or heat setting. Then reduce wire speed to get the frying bacon sound. It's a good way of finding sweet spot for every setting on your MIG welder.  If you are burning through it can help by holding the nozzle at a shallower angle so the wire doesn't 'puncture' the weldpool. Another way of avoiding burning through is to do shorter bursts of weld. I found that technique helpful on some of the thin 0.7mm steel used on my Rover R8.  Good luck with the projects and your channel.

What a job! This makes me feel a bit more confident that the T4 I just bought can be kept on the road for years. Got a few holes here and there! :-)

Good on you for giving this a go, your welding is getting better.

I think you've done a great job plus practice makes perfect. It's a good skill to have and its keep the bus on the road

Well done mate that will keep you on the road for a few more years, keep plugging away at the rest👍👍👍.

Only just came across your channel now brother. Best way is to do it yourself. Self belief is key. Respect mate

Nice job! You are a good template maker! I use a jigsaw with a blade for metal for cutting sheet metal. Easy and accurate! I had a few problematic years with my old welder until I switched from 0,8 to 0.6mm wire. Way better for sheet metal!  Keep up the good work!

Mighty job. The welding looks great. it must have been pretty daunting to have to strip everything back out and cut chunks from the van.

Great work Joel, a really good tip is make sure you can always see the weld puddle, but I’m very impressed 👍🏻

You're doing a great job there Joel, it must have been quite daunting to find all the extra work required on that wheel arch ! Keep up the good work mate. Hope you get it all finished soon.

Great Job!

👍

This makes me dread lifting my floor even more 😄. Good job though mate.

as a t4 lover and a blacksmith fabricator i would also suggest pushing the torch forward rather than backward and just spot and stop on the thin stuff- weld, cool, weld,, cool, etc.. but i also want to say nice job man! those welds look decent and panels are a good fit. tidy work

Very informative video mate. I’ve just got mine back from the welders and you’ve saved yourself a packet doing diy. I need to treat the floor before I reassemble everything but can I ask your opinion on suitable treatments. My welder has wax oiled the underneath but this too smelly for the interior. Did you just use hammerite? I find it chips quite easily

Great work Joel your welding looked fine to me, shame that arch is rotten but keep going you e gone this far.
One area you may want to check as your windscreen was leaking is under the plastic steps, my passenger side had rusted through to the inner sill from a windscreen leak.

Turn the wire feed down it'll work better

Hi Joel, Just entering the "interesting" world of T4 ownership and looking forward to all the wee jobs I have to do! :p Can I ask how you bent the metal for the flooring? Is there a handy wee trick or something to bend it round? Cheers man!

Looks really good.
Is that a gas less welder? What gauge wire were did you use?

Great video, took my flooring up today and the 3 main rust areas are in the exact same places, for reference what were you charged for the 2 suspension areas?
