      SAME. As soon as he mentioned it in his Q&A session, I strolled on over and realized what insanity this is. I HAD to start from the beginning, and I'm so glad I did. Binged watched the entire thing. WORTH IT. Due to Ronnie and George's videos; I got crackin' on my daily and did some general maintenance, and even some upgrades. My MPG levels are back, and the car feels way more peppier than before (got it used when it was around 20k miles on the odo; added about 50k miles to it since).

    Ahhh the poetry of Dylan, the articulacy of Geldoff and the wryness of Clive James not to mention the artistic prowess of Van Gogh. Love classic Mercs and it's a joy to see them repaired using the same engineering ethos that they were originally built with. It's like watching a ballet as the welding torch does its thing. Even though the dreaded rust has eaten its way in, it surely is testament to the original build quality that many of these cars are still around today. Only concern is if the repair pieces are left bare on their inner sides then it won't be long before the old corrosion gets a hold again, ah t'be sure!

    • @soupclassicmotoring
      @soupclassicmotoring  4 года назад

      Nice words and if I had the second two traits I'd be a made man. You're possibly the first person who's made the point that horrific rust aside, most other cars that were subjected to the life this one has had, wouldn't have stood the test. Cheers

    I own a 240d from 1983. Its in pretty good shape, only one rust spot by the drivers foot. But, watching this makes me want to tear it apart piece by piece and completely restore *anything* that needs freshening up. It seems so satisfying to complete work like this on a car, and to develop and learn a new skill. Love it

      100% you'd never regret anything you did, so much satisfaction and joy from making a good classic better. Good luck with it :)

    You really are an inspiration. I am currently "stuck in" to a 1964 Rambler. Way over my head, but moving forward and improving. I can't thank you enough.

      Way over your head is best place to be, guarantees new skills imminent. Good luck with the Rambler and thanks! :)
