Got hooked on that one while burning the minight oils trying to get an on-line shopping slot.
Had to stop watching it in the end as I started getting flashbacks to all the "scrappers" I have saved over time. That sick feeling as perfect looking metal reveals itself to be crumbling bodyfiller or you meet thin air just when though you'd got to clean metal. Or you run out of gas halfway though Sunday.
I went through the dodgy MIG welder feed issue etc, and finished up on catering C02 until more recently I went to TIG. I even had Mrs Bean operating a massive Variac rotary toroidal transformer feeding an arc welder at one stage to control welding current under voice control as I worked (Poor cow ) . Or hoarding window panel cut outs for future repair jobs.
Had tracks in the garage for wheel skates so I could move the vehicle from side to side and a fan in the wall to blow warm air through from the house while spraying. Wonder I never blew myself up with my converted Triumph Tigress twin engine compressor cutting in and out all the time.
Bit more sophistcated nowadays and begining to get jobe done by my carefully chosen workshop due to having too much fun earlier on or as I prefer to call it the patina of age.
Got to admire that chaps bravery and persistence though. Wonder if he jigged those trailing arm brackets for welding?
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.

Re: T25 Youtube channels
Yes, he definitely made a job of it , I watched them years ago , then recently I was flicking through looking for something and came across the channel again, and ended up watching the latest videos of his narrow boat , which is somewhat mesmerising at times.
He is now on amazon prime.
I’ve spoken to him a bit , seems he did used to drop in here in the early days .
. That van is also on a you tube channel with its new owners , but it’s all tree hugging and pallet up cycling and nothing much T25

Re: T25 Youtube channels
I think I've probably seen every campervan youtubers out there when I go on my youtube binges. It can be interesting to see what people end up doing with their vans.

Re: T25 Youtube channels
These are great, thank you. Quite a few i'd not come across before.
Here are a couple more:

How to's and restoration work for an early T25.
Guenther_the_vw_bus - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaQ9SA ... AUQ/videos
Young chap going working his way through all the jobs on his van. Looks like Thomas EXOVCDS has been helping him out a bit too.
I've just bought a load of parts so expect new videos from me soon. We've been busy with our daughter so little time for van work. I've got a huge backlog of things to do!
