You are proceeding in a logical way to tackle various projects, gathering momentum, which is great! Good luck with all vehicle and other projects in this New Year!
Would not know where to start with your vehicle just love watching your projects! You are achieving so much and it’s only day 2 of 2024. Bon courage👏👏👏👏
Love the van. Body not in terrible shape for something 20 years old. Look forward to seeing the progress you make. It would be great 2nd vehicle to have on hand for bigger loads-like antiques!
Yes sir I completely understand she has sentimental value to you. You will figure out when you get to her what is wrong and get it fixed and running again.😊👍
I watch this channel because my dad was a motor mechanic and much of this brings back good memories. Ryan was saying in one of his videos that vans were difficult to get in France. Seems like you can’t go wrong by bringing back into action.
Good to see you getting back into what you really like to do. It makes as big difference in how you feel and also what is next on the list of life. Have a great day
This brought my first car to mind…1976 Datsun B210 $4029.00 I loved that car I was 16 my dad co-signed the loan thought it was outrageous that my payment was $56.00 a month. Again I loved that car. Wonder how many times I patted the dash.
Looks pretty good cosmetically for its age! Good decision to use the time waiting for parts to do other work. Onwards and upwards Phil. Happy New Year! XXX BTW WE had the storm this afternoon, winds gusting up to 50mph. Hoping the ridge tiles held on!!
I will enjoy watching refinish your van. My father restored old cars like a 1942 English Taxi Cab that somehow wound up in the States, 1936 Packard, and 1952 Cadillac.
I love the look of the T4s, i hope her engine is salvageable... Theyre great vans. Ive got a T5 myself and really enjoy driving it (when its being well behaved). Im looking forward to seeing your van back to its best!
Nice to see the VW van go from garden ornament to the workshop. I missed when you went from a corner in the workshop to taking over with your vehicles. Good move, all in one place ready to be worked on when time and parts allow 👌
How satisfying getting all of the algae off of the van. I find it hilarious that I have no interest in mechanics,but I sit glues to watching you sort out the vehicles. You’re doing a grand job. As a matter of interest, where did the lovely leather chair end up ? Loads of hugs K🇬🇧❤️❤️
I’m happy your getting into saving these vehicles from rust and ruin and yes you are brilliant at it. Ive enjoyed watching you tackling Billy’s Range Rover so will look forward to the VW van as well.
Glad the VW is getting some attention. I would buy back my 1989 240 GLT auto petrol estate that I sold in 2018, if I won some money. Had it 10 years and never any real trouble. Service items or age related preventative maintenance. Sold at 234,000 miles and ran great. Replaced it with a 1996 Volvo 940 LPT petrol estate automatic. Again no major issues. 210,000miles. paid £250 in 2016. You do get attached to cars. One car I was pleased to see go was a Lexus! 2006 Lexus IS 220 Diesel. Looked lovely, high miles. Immaculate MOT history and service history. Had 174k. Paid £1,475. Got AC working, new condenser, new Avon 7v7 tyres and a few months later the Head Gasket went after 18 months of ownership. Scrapped it and got £350. When it was collected clad to see it go as massive turbo lag, 6th gear unusable unless doing 80mph plus. Positives, comfy, lots of airbags good build quality apart from engine or gearbox.
Speak to David Homer on the T4 forums. He knows how to rebuild these after cambelt failures and is generally a really nice guy to speak to and get advice from
Hi Phil, you seem enthused to get your VW van going again. I think working on these two vehicles seem to be a bet project of your at the moment. Good time when the winter is upon us. Have fun!😊
There’s nothing more satisfying than a good power wash or as you say jet wash 😉 Incredible how long a car can last in France, in Canada 5 years and it’s a rust bucket! Salted roads are a killer!
I need a car guy like you to motivated my son to start on his car collection just two now sold off a Jeep truck was more work then he had room to work on it
3:46 not that this is hugely important, but i thought you said "since the engine [gave out], it's been parts on the tree growing green." as in a metaphor for the leftover bits becoming like returning to the creator, becoming green again, having new separate little lives in the sunlight, like an idea of reincarnation in a way.. but then i saw it actually WAS kind of a green color and realized you'd said "parked under the tree, going green... ..."
Very cool projects in your very big garage. I have near the same, only short and petrol 😂 love your BBS. looking a half year for this things and then i see your Video, im very lucky. Please can you tel me the Typ with your dimension width and size and ET. Thanks a lot. My T4 is in 4 Weeks hopefully ready for the new paint. It will be our new Family adventure bus and Moped Transporter as well ;-) T4 Regards from Switzerland
When power washing the vehicle you REALLY should attempt to wash from the top downward, so that the subsequent dirt is washed away, and not overlaid with dirt from above.
Jealous as, T4s and T5s, not sure about T6s don't have dual sliding doors in Aus. Useless info, sorry Phil. Lookin forward to watchin you work on your T4. Thanks m8, stay vertical.
in my city the repair shop is hell for me, I have spent $ 1000 and still can't repair my car, until I run out of money to repair my car, can you help me so that my car is like yours?
Good worn/stuck/seized bolts extraction review for the Land Rover project. For that sunk-in broken bolt off the belt tightener... 8th minute: th-cam.com/video/_EfLTszAr7w/w-d-xo.html

The van is a gem, great you grabbed her back from the brink of disappearing into the woods.
The power wash did it good .its good having different projects on the go while you're waiting for parts ❤
She looks good after that power wash.😊
You'll get the van running again and you'll be thankful you did it! Crack on!
You are proceeding in a logical way to tackle various projects, gathering momentum, which is great! Good luck with all vehicle and other projects in this New Year!
Hi Phil. Love it. Just doubled in value going from green to white! 😂
😂🙂🙃🙂🤣

Yes sir I completely understand she has sentimental value to you. You will figure out when you get to her what is wrong and get it fixed and running again.😊👍
Looks like you have a couple of great projects to work on Phil - Billy's Range Rover and your VW Van. Looking forward to seeing the progress!
Love the vw vans , it scrubbed up well for an old van ,
I watch this channel because my dad was a motor mechanic and much of this brings back good memories. Ryan was saying in one of his videos that vans were difficult to get in France. Seems like you can’t go wrong by bringing back into action.
The VW T4 she just needs a little TLC.😊👍❤️
Looking forward to seeing this project!

Just giving the van a wash makes it look 10 times better.
He's stated this shop belongs to a friend
Geez Phil, a little duct tape, some white paint, the body will be fine !
Check for chewed up wires in that engine ! Good luck in all your endeavors !😊
Looks pretty good cosmetically for its age! Good decision to use the time waiting for parts to do other work. Onwards and upwards Phil. Happy New Year! XXX BTW WE had the storm this afternoon, winds gusting up to 50mph. Hoping the ridge tiles held on!!
Good morning. Good to see you again sir 😊👍
Being the proud owner of basically the same van i am very keen to see yours restoration project. Much luck. Subscribed
I will enjoy watching refinish your van. My father restored old cars like a 1942 English Taxi Cab that somehow wound up in the States, 1936 Packard, and 1952 Cadillac.
Love that VW. Will be so cool when it’s fixed
Your VW van is worthy of restoration and getting her back on the road. Happy New Year Phil.🥳🙏❤️
I love the look of the T4s, i hope her engine is salvageable... Theyre great vans. Ive got a T5 myself and really enjoy driving it (when its being well behaved). Im looking forward to seeing your van back to its best!

Glad you found your passion again.
Glad you’re doing a project for your self.
Woh that cut out in a flash, thought your storm shut things down here haha Happy new year to you and Lightning!
I am glad you are going to fix you VW van for camping holidays. Are you owner of the garage? Or is it a friend's place? Do you work there for someone?
Another project to watch. Happy New year Phil.
The VW will a good next project .I am looking forward to seeing you get to it
Wow that's a tight fit
Typical Phil difficult is his middle name
You can tell she's been sitting a little while with all those cobwebs.😁
How satisfying getting all of the algae off of the van. I find it hilarious that I have no interest in mechanics,but I sit glues to watching you sort out the vehicles. You’re doing a grand job. As a matter of interest, where did the lovely leather chair end up ? Loads of hugs K🇬🇧❤️❤️

HAPPY NEW YEAR HEALTH HAPPINESS XXX❤
She cleaned up nicely
Lovely van! Can't wait to see what you can do for her!

Cool van hope your having time to get on to it deffo worth saving .

O Phil, you forgot to clean the roof! 😂 Only joking... I hope that the van can be repaird.💋
Be safe and careful.😊👍🙏
So good to see you getting on with your new life. I hope nothing but good things for you in the future. You’re a good man.
I don’t know, that van just looks like it will be a little darling once you get it back on the road!

Love it. Just awesome. Keep going.
I need a car guy like you to motivated my son to start on his car collection just two now sold off a Jeep truck was more work then he had room to work on it
Hey Phil! I do love that van. It will be a great little project. Hopefully not a fully engine resto 🤞
Oops!! Weather troubles!!!
The van will be a fun project for you. Hope you repaint it purple with silver wheels.
3:46 not that this is hugely important, but i thought you said "since the engine [gave out], it's been parts on the tree growing green." as in a metaphor for the leftover bits becoming like returning to the creator, becoming green again, having new separate little lives in the sunlight, like an idea of reincarnation in a way.. but then i saw it actually WAS kind of a green color and realized you'd said "parked under the tree, going green... ..."
Still more Reliable than a land rover.
Very cool projects in your very big garage. I have near the same, only short and petrol 😂

When power washing the vehicle you REALLY should attempt to wash from the top downward, so that the subsequent dirt is washed away, and not overlaid with dirt from above.
The van will look good when it's finished
Jealous as, T4s and T5s, not sure about T6s don't have dual sliding doors in Aus. Useless info, sorry Phil. Lookin forward to watchin you work on your T4. Thanks m8, stay vertical.
I would turn it into a traveling van. Road trips with Lightning.
it's a nice van. i bet it should get a new engine.
in my city the repair shop is hell for me, I have spent $ 1000 and still can't repair my car, until I run out of money to repair my car, can you help me so that my car is like yours?
Arches = wheel wells in 🇨🇦
👍👍 👍....
😍
It should go faster without the dirt.
Who one the wager over Organ / Range Rover??
Rub it in, lol. Phil had to wait for parts while the Pethericks could improvise parts.
