Absolutely love all your videos , and am now re-watching them. Love the humour and self deprecation which is very endearing. Once Ive re-watched the Benz being re-built ill be going back to watch the Rangey build which I first watched many moons ago.
This series feeds the soul, I do not know how to properly explain the feeling but your videos are so special and your production a ahead of its time... I am safe in Namibia , Africa and yes your video made it all the way here LOL
Cant think of a better way to start the weekend, than watching that beautiful Merc go back to life bringing you and all of us joy while drifting on the grass. Thank you George for never letting us down!
As a guy slowly but surely building a car channel, the amount of work you put into your production is absolutely mindboggling . I literally cannot wrap my head around the stop motion video and how you pull it off. It is inspirational and remarkable.
This is like a Zen class for the motor mechanic. I seem to remember in 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Mechanics' that a workshop manual started with the words 'First get a peaceful mind'. Quite. Thank you so much for the peaceful journey, I look forward to the next episode.
First off, you're the only channel I get legitimately excited for. Cinematography A++. 23:43 - I've always leaned toward the tighter side on the principal that you can always replace bearing cheaper than you can replace a worn spindle hub.
Not only it's amazing to see my dream ride being treated with incredible attention to detail, it's also captured made beautiful to view in a incredibly captive way. Nothing but respect man! Nothing but respect!
How I wish I had your skills and ingenuity. Not to mention garage space. I still dream of retiring at 55 and spending the rest of my days learning how to take apart, clean and restore old Mercedes.
Not one to comment to ANY video, by ANYONE, and I usually watch youtube on my TV, but I must. I do thoroughly enjoy your work, and deeply appreciate all that you must go through to make them.
What I do when rebuilding suspension is leave everything loose, lower the vehicle so it sits on all wheels, bounce the vehicle up and down to settle everything and then tighten it all up when it's sitting on the ground.
Yeup... I was going to comment the same thing. BUT I would add to roll the vehicle a bit as well. Just like in the video, you want everything to be "neutral", including any side load on the tires. As for the bushing, it's ESPECIALLY important when you have the rubber type bushings that are in direct contact with the chassis (inner or outer is non-moving). The suspension movement results in the rubber bushing being twisted. IF you tighten it up while the vehicle is in the air, and the suspension is in full drop, then when placed on the ground the bushing will be "over twisted". This includes shock bushing as well.
I've grown to love the W123 and find myself drawn to watching your transformation of this lovely car. My regular car is a 2007 Golf and maybe my last 'modern car' I hanker after a useable classic and the W123 is that car. Thank you for great videos 😎😎
Cheers for the fine technical work done. Made me remember time ago when I dismantled EVERYTNG absolutely in my 1972 300D . I added a second line of shock absorbers inside the front springs . Rebuid absolutely everything and now finishing paint and final adjustments of diesel injection pump and injectors. Nobody helped me to even tight a bolt . Bleeding hydraulic clutch and brakes was a test of creativity and produced a simple pipe and bottle device to pump pedals and later press the bleeder screws.
The end of this took it from great to wow. I totally understand. I spent the early 90s ripping around fields in Buckinghamshire. You simply cannot get a life or period like that back. But for just a few seconds, I was there again. Cheers.
I always forget how much I love this channel, then a video comes out and I want to pour my heart out into the comments section once I've watched it. That's Soup magic.
Haha you got all that new paint dirty at the end, looks like too much fun! Did you wait to tighten the suspension until it was at ride height? I think the bushings will bind and get chewed up if you tighten everything while on jack stands. Great work though! Smoother then the cream in a twinky.
Hi George just had to say, I just recently bought a 1982 280E automatic and came across your videos and trying to catch up with them all, it's excellent to watch someone do work that keeps me interested through out. thanks for the great videos keep up the great work if ever you find yourself in the Midlands when all ever becomes normal as such kettle will be on 👍👍👍
Don't ever change! Your style is so different from everyone else. The voice over focus much more on the wholesome experience of fixing something dear to you, yet your visuals educates better than anything else I've ever seen. Ten thumbs up!
Excellent to see a fresh SOUP update again, as always. I'm going to need all of the inspiration in your finely crafted videos for the latest acquisition here that's been off the road almost as long as I've been alive; an old Barker bodied Lanchester LD10. I've never worked with aluminium body panels, separate chassis cars (EDIT: oh wait, there was that Renault 6), or wooden framed bodies, but if SOUP has taught me one thing its that you should always take on a challenge because you never know what fun you're going to have until you do.
The Cobra is a fine piece of work the precision and time the engineers put into making this vehicle is amazing. Thanks for the video the W123 is an epic automobile.
Your work is incredible, I have recently been gifted an 85 300D Turbo Diesel, it's so difficult for me to watch this and not want to restore mine with the same care, thank you for your videos
I seem to be doing all the same things to my Mk2 Golf right now, only I snapped a bleed nipple in one of my callipers and butchered one of my copper brake pipes. Not a clever day for me today but watching this made me want to carry on and get it right. Thanks dude.
So glad you used that music for the final field drive. That music is Soup Classic Motoring! Keep up the good work big man! You are a inspiration to the rest of us!
As the song says ‘first love stays with you forever’ hope the drifting brought back memories. Thanks for the films making me realise I can restore my own vehicle. It helps build my confidence.
great video, always a pleasure to watch. An old timer told me once, never pack bearings to the brim, always leave a little room for movement for initial roll.
Lovely to watch your work. Next time you have to clean holding tanks or even a fuel tank put a cleaning cloth in it and chase it around with a air hose, it always come clean. Regards Billy
George, love to see your content, brilliant work as usual. So glad to see you back. I have to say I am anxiously awaiting either more Lotus or the Jag Rebuild!
My man. That has got to be the best automotive video I have seen in a long time. Your attention to detail and calm narration are top shelf! I have the same car, same colour and need to do a myriad of repairs. Thanks for the brilliant video. Cheers.
I nearly spit my stout across the room when you said it was only fitting the merc gave ye a golden shower ha! But honestly contrasting that with aerial footage drifting her in success truly made my night and gives me hope of finishing my Datsun 240z on a budget restoring parts like you instead of just throwing heaps of money at it.... keep up the amazing cinematography and I look forward to seeing that fiberglass gem purring down the back roads....stay real cheers from Connecticut USA 🇺🇸
Doing it the conscientious way is good for the car, the planet and your wallet... good luck with the rest of the work and keep at it. Thanks for the support and kind words :) Lotus coming in Autumn [Fall]
This is one of the most satisfying videos I've ever seen in my life. Worth the wait every time. I admire what you do and how you do it. Cheer to you mate!
Hahaha. That made me laugh. "Ok babe, pump the pedal a few times then hold." -"OK IM HOLDING!" *bleed valve sucks in air* "What happened, are you holding?" -"Yeah, I stopped pumping." "Ugh." I basically bought speed bleeders after this.
@@soupclassicmotoring I'm glad you find it funny, but it wasn't a joke! I put a little lipstick on my pressure bleeder and curl up next to it at night...
I opted to finally buy a pressure bleeder after attempting it once with my wife.... while she read a fashion magazine in the driver seat. Bleeding process was a disaster.
You can grease bearings by hand as fast or faster then a packer. Put your index finger through the top of the bearing and pinch it with your thumb. Slap it quickly on your other palm and rotate as soon as you see grease pop out the top of the cage. Once you get the hang of it, you can have it done before someone even has a bearing installed in the packer. Love the build!
That was a great moment seing you enjoy the car in this field after all this work. That was the best place to really take advantage of all the suspension work!
Loved the animation on this video. You don't see that on any other RUclips video. I used to rebuild master cylinders on various cars. Just hone them with sandpaper and slap new seals on them. Never had one I had to pry the reservoir off. Just give it a good yank. I always hated those clamps on the spindles. Some don't open so are hard to turn off and on even with the bolt loosened completely. I lost a new bearing on my 123 because of that. These cars are tanks and will run forever with a bit of maintenence. Now I wish I still had mine.
@@soupclassicmotoring Remember that they will expand as they get hot. That is the reason for the back off after hand tightening them. Good luck with the car.
Loved the Allen key bolts going on the disc absolute perfection. Just lefty tighty and loosie on wheel bearing that will do the trick. Nice shot in the field my self and my dog Suki who got separated from her 9 pups yesterday enjoyed this episode I think you put a smile on her face 😂 love the show
Same. I had dozed off with aitoplay running and woke up somewhere in the middle of the full Range River restoration video. I was mesmerized for the next hour.
masterful videograpaphy as always, the shot of the moving rear end in the field from below the car near the end made my whole face smile and even laugh in happiness a bit, sooo good to see this
I am following along your videos since the Land Rover. And I am really enjoying this W123. With that prospected amount of bodywork which then went into the W123 I would have called it dead. Props to you for saving this beauty from the scrap yard. I own one of these too, the drifting on a meadow gave me a lot of inspiration for a bit of fun with this thing :)
Sublimely hypnotic and deeply satisfying! My G.P. says I should watch more of your videos....it's great for lowering my B.P. Superbly photographed in stonking high definition and exquisitely narrated, ah the David Attenborough of the classic car world, you obviously know the W123 species inside out.
Great to see you back on top and at the top of your game. Was spoiled with binge watching the first 59 episodes so the last couple of months have been hard. You make it very hard to watch other videos on a similar theme due to their inferior quality and lack of velvety Irish charm. Looking forward to seeing the floor repairs and then back to the Lotus ... and the motorcycle??
George, a buddy recommended your channel to me as a motivator for my own project car malaise/excuse funk (Volvo S60R and DeLorean DMC-12, the latter getting a drivetrain swap). I just finished binging the entire back catalog, and you have motivated me to start working on the DMC for the first time in years - currently building a cardboard model to simulate a few tricky mounts in real space. It is massively encouraging to see how far you've come and the regular reminders to just get stuck in have broken me out of my long winter of excuses and into action. So, thank you for that! One note - some of your later videos omit the episode number from the title and RUclips is REALLY not sure how to order them. Might be worth adding the numbers on the end so they're all consistent, if there's room.
No matter how much time passes, every upload is a call for a cup of tea and an uninterrupted sit down. Thank you for measurably improving my day.
Or even a Gin & Tonic! But whatever your poison you are spot on Alfred.
Agreed, I was suffering from "lack of soup..."
RJPick1 OH! It must be afternoon there. 🍸
@@rcpmac Not necessarily !
I went & made a coffee first. But the sentiment is the same!
This Channel has to be One of the best on RUclips, good job George 👍👍👍
Those calipers looked like they were forged sometime during the Iron Age.
Absolutely love all your videos , and am now re-watching them. Love the humour and self deprecation which is very endearing. Once Ive re-watched the Benz being re-built ill be going back to watch the Rangey build which I first watched many moons ago.
Thanks for being here :)
i love people who show love to old cars..dont stop doing videos as this one i loved it
thanks :)
I watched this video all the way through. It’s a RUclips treasure
That whole ending sequence in the field moved things to a completely different plane. It's just plain, good filmmaking.
🙂 thanks for the support :)
We are so blessed here in texas . Our vehicles never rust.
@@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr
Not true.
Y’all have oceans.
But....
At least your ocean in the gulf is filled with oil.
This series feeds the soul, I do not know how to properly explain the feeling but your videos are so special and your production a ahead of its time... I am safe in Namibia , Africa and yes your video made it all the way here LOL
Greetings from Okahandja. Stay safe.
No need for any LOL. Out old Peugeots and Mercedes were exported right here, right?
Cant think of a better way to start the weekend, than watching that beautiful Merc go back to life bringing you and all of us joy while drifting on the grass. Thank you George for never letting us down!

Much appreciated thanks! Stick with it, it takes time and is tougher than ever these days to build a channel that isn't just all hype. Good luck :)
Soup Classic Motoring Thanks man. It’s definitely building… And definitely not hype. I think when you have a cool project, eventually people find it.
My thoughts exactly. That little detail puts this video above all others. !
This is like a Zen class for the motor mechanic. I seem to remember in 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Mechanics' that a workshop manual started with the words 'First get a peaceful mind'. Quite. Thank you so much for the peaceful journey, I look forward to the next episode.
Very few things in this life are more satisfying than seeing car parts being decrudified and refurbished in time lapse. Great work!
Couldn't agree more! thanks :)
The passion in your videography and love of automobiles is unmatched. I always look forward to a new video. You are an inspiration. Thank You.
Glad you like them and thanks for the support :)
First off, you're the only channel I get legitimately excited for. Cinematography A++.
23:43 - I've always leaned toward the tighter side on the principal that you can always replace bearing cheaper than you can replace a worn spindle hub.

Ahhh felt proud to be mentioned in the patron list. Still learning from you everyday. Appreciate it Soup.
You can grease bearings by hand as fast or faster then a packer. Put your index finger through the top of the bearing and pinch it with your thumb. Slap it quickly on your other palm and rotate as soon as you see grease pop out the top of the cage. Once you get the hang of it, you can have it done before someone even has a bearing installed in the packer. Love the build!
One of the most precise video I have ever seen. Very good level of restoration too. Thanks.
Thanks, and glad you liked it :)
Good to have you back, another interesting video. Thanks.
That was a great moment seing you enjoy the car in this field after all this work. That was the best place to really take advantage of all the suspension work!
So glad to see you back! Thank you for this wonderful content.
i love the idea of beat up exterior with perfectly done everything behind the shell.
Loved the animation on this video. You don't see that on any other RUclips video. I used to rebuild master cylinders on various cars. Just hone them with sandpaper and slap new seals on them. Never had one I had to pry the reservoir off. Just give it a good yank.
I always hated those clamps on the spindles. Some don't open so are hard to turn off and on even with the bolt loosened completely. I lost a new bearing on my 123 because of that.
These cars are tanks and will run forever with a bit of maintenence.
Now I wish I still had mine.
I was probably a bit sheepish with the reservoir ;) Will be rechecking the front bearings for tightness after a few miles. Thanks a mil :)
@@soupclassicmotoring Remember that they will expand as they get hot. That is the reason for the back off after hand tightening them. Good luck with the car.
Dude you put so much work & thought into your content... very inspiring - looking forward to the next one!

Loved the Allen key bolts going on the disc absolute perfection. Just lefty tighty and loosie on wheel bearing that will do the trick. Nice shot in the field my self and my dog Suki who got separated from her 9 pups yesterday enjoyed this episode I think you put a smile on her face 😂 love the show
