@@soupclassicmotoring yeah unfortunately with my work I am away from my car for a while. So no good forward movement happening on my end. I am making plans though my Datsun should hopefully be alive by next Christmas
I feel ya man - however if I remember correct - he had 35k 2 or 3 months ago - if he keeps up the recipe , he will go parabolic eventually I betcha he's working on the esprit on the down low , & using this Mercedes thing to remind us he's still alive & let referrals build up who,e we wait I bet someday , the esprit videos will come like an avalanche - hope we get to see some by Christmas - if we are lucky enough to live that long Cheers man 🍻
It’s great to see you making progress with this, a W123 is a great car and well worth saving. You have inspired me to get a mig welder and get started learning to mig weld myself, I’ll be ordering one soon. Like many of us here in Ireland and indeed the world, I suddenly find myself with lots of time.
SOUP . Classic Motoring I wasn’t sure if I should commit straight away to a good quality unit like your R- Tech or just get one from Lidl for now and see how I get on.
I keep a look out for your content daily. So much so my wife asks if you've made any videos yet because she knows how much I love them. It's time for me to become a contributor. Your content is so so so good. It's better than most anything on TV. I love the Mercedes build. Loved the Range Rover build as well. I cannot tell you how amazing your style of content is. Thank you so much for all your efforts. It's my pleasure to give back to such an amazing source of information inspiration and entertainment.
@@soupclassicmotoring the wait is not a problem. I would rather wait and have it be as good as it is.... Then you rush it and cut corners and/or go crazy... It's all about the experience. We can wait. Thanks again.
George you're getting there. 50K+ subs and lots of patrons. Well done and many more to come! That reassembly of the fuel system footage was mesmerising. Bless you and your inspiring work.
Hi George, over the last few days, I've been binge watching your channel , you are completely mad, but in the most beautiful and inspiring way possible...i'm currently restoring a w123 estate, it's the first car I've ever really worked on, and sometimes it's been overwhelming..... but ,I've been getting back into it again recently, and watching your work and perserverence ,has been a huge encouragement to me, " Thank you so much"....Keep up the great work, and I'll drop you some pics of my progress, over the coming weeks...bye and thanks again. Michael
@@soupclassicmotoring worked in TV & Film for 20 years, my passion is cars, I rebuilt a range rover an 83 4 door Inj Vogue..(factory prototype) I had a stroke in 2018 at 47yo which left meunable to walk (for now)... so you are my "fix" for cars had to sell my fiat siecento track car .... hope to be back in game one day.
This is how you get more views, George. I watched it as soon as it was posted, but the soothing voice-over, and the initial Pull Up To My Bumper-esk music, made me fall asleep within 5 minutes. So, as a result, I have to watch it again the morning after. 👍🏻
One, if not thee most underrated and under subscribed channels on RUclips.. maybe people can't handle how different it is compared to the "same old stuff". Really amazing skill, work, video and production quality.. keep it up!
Lovely as always, proud patron. I totally encourage anyone reading this to support George! What an incredible breath of fresh air this is in todays media world.
absolutely brilliant work George. Never used to comment videos but leaving a like feels way short of the appreciation you should get for such an amazing job. Those fuel system parts coming together are a brilliant piece of stop motion magic. keep up the good work, thank you again !
Just finished watching and like all your other videos I'm blown away by the artistry. Then when it comes to working on the cars, your videos are always inspiring but seeing the detail on making the fuel pump assembly perfect was amazing. Just awe inspiring videos mate.
11:55, looking at that would deter most weekend welders, but not you, oh not you. With your land rover welding experience, you tackled that methodically and logically piece by piece and the result at 15:32 is a better result than I could ever imagine completing myself. You inspire me to follow your path, producing quality work that is built to last with a great look, and finish my project that has similar rust issues, which has been sitting in my garage rotting away since 2016. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to each and every upload. Thanks.
Has anyone ever told you how awesome, brilliant, captivating, incredible, well done, excellent, professional, enjoyable, technical, and so much fun to watch your videos are? If not, let be be the first to do so!!!!
Yet another jaw dropping beautifully shot video. You never fail to impress and this is one of only a few channels that I watch from start to finish every time. Thank you once again for sharing
YES! George is back! Can't tell you how happy this made me, I was smiling all through the video! I think you must have inspired me - I tried out a flux-core MIG recently and now I want to get a MIG welder so I can start doing this on my own project cars. Your videos are wonderful and visually stunning, thank you so much for sharing your work with us. Especially now we're all quarantined your videos give much needed motivational fuel.
I absolutely love these videos. I'm currently messing around with a C126, and as a 28 year old without mechanical training learning how to strip and restore and old Mercedes, I find your videos invaluable. Thank you so much!!
The new springs will take a few miles to bed down to their new height, be warned! Love the work, your skills have developed so far from the early videos, quite quite inspirational. I'm now off to Patreon to give my support.
Thank you! One of the greatest feelings is looking back, not so long ago, and realising how far I've come. I happens quicker than you'd expect... I wish it for anyone who has the inclination.
Amazing skills and detailed videos. It’s great to see people with such knowledge and passion. I recently bought a 1978 W123 230C, which was decently restored but your video is encouraging me to go a step further and restore more parts. Thanks
One of your best videos yet mate, the stop motion in this one was just so on point, such a joy to watch. In these difficult times as a single guy living alone recovering from sickness my mental health is really suffering and i cant tell you how much these little snippets of joy mean to me, thank you George xxx
What a treat! "Souper!" Always the highlight of my youtube viewing, beating all the 1M+ subs vloggers hands down, please don't change a thing, your camera work complimented by great tunes and witty comments are second to none! Keep safe!
George, after 9 days of quarantine. nothing comes close to a better way to end the day. Than to watch you turn rust to marvel. thank you very much!! and please keep going on any your projects they're all great. Thanks again =)
Scurrying around wondering what I'll do after the W123 if we're still not allowed out [and back to the Esprit], but I'll figure something out. Thanks Antrax
Burns from welding with mild steel are painful however, burns from welding with stainless steel are worse! Take care George. Good job, well done, keep it up.
Amazing work! Please don’t ever stop what you do, it’s WONDERFUL! Thought for a second you were leaving that aluminium mesh in there! Love the finish on those rear arms, really smart. Can’t wait to see the next instalment.
I've been following your work for about 8 months now. Your channel is sadly underrated. You deserve more subscribers and viewers. I love how mesmerizing your stop-go content is and how relatable your work is. It's not ICON- or Singer-level restoration, it's a down to earth, attainable for 99% of people, kind of work. Thank you for sharing your work with us. Keep the content coming!
Thanks for the kind words Aleks, and for sticking around :) I'm not motivated as much by huge numbers as I am for the love of the cars and the support from my patrons, and of course the will to learn and develop skills. It's growing all the time and one of these days I'll have enough to build a shop where I can really concentrate on making the episodes as good as possible. Stay safe and thank again, great words.
Love this channel. The amount of time it takes to video and edit and narrate with great voice. Love the content. Grew up around this cars and is just great to see your restore. Thank you. I hope to pledge to your cause.
Great videos. Love the stop motion and the fact you show trial and error as that’s how it works for me too. Look forward to the next one. Thanks for the great content.
Oh man. Since I got to this episode a few weeks back I couldn't get around your channel without watching every single episode. Not only you provide a great content but also a very artistic approach. I love the content and the cars that you are restoring. Hopefully we will see more of the land rover! Thanks for the great work. Keep it up
WOW that is a lot of work. Love the effort on the sill patches. I recently did my own and it's not fun, especially removing all the old paint and undercoat before getting started!
I always love the rust repair videos because it helps me work up the courage to tackle it on my car (which is coming soon). Another great video as always.
Fantastic job George. I watch your patreon videos and sometimes think you're procrastinating, I know the weather's been crap but why's it taking you so long?! BUT...then you put out the full episode and all is revealed! This stop motion is sooo good and it must take you ages!!! I bow down to you! Now, keep using the gas welder - no more pigeon poop welding!!
Conscious of it all the time when I'm doing the patron updates, I know it always looks like I've done nothing. It's non stop, just massively slow and time consuming. Put it this way; I produced the first say 20 episodes using two storage cards, 32GB each. I had to get creative to be able to keep filming for this episode, having filled 6 of those cards and still things to cover. I'd say yee of little faith, but I know you have it ;) Thanks for sticking around Jon 🍻
@@soupclassicmotoring You don't need to worry about that George. We all know that you work bloody hard and you're out there in all weathers! The end results are fantastic and very satisfying! Has the field dried out? I'm wondering if you're still planning on getting the container on to the paddock? Do you remember the first workshop where you started the Range Rover? You had the classic 'Athena' Syd Brak poster on the wall...where did you find it?? They are hard to come by now!
@@jmoakey The container, is a no go until July earliest what with all this that's going on. The phrase they used was 'sh*t show'. It's thrown all my plans and schedules out the window. The Syd Brak... you can say that again, I've looked on and off for years because my pals made a mess of my one when I was a teenager. It was my older cousins before me, so it's been in the family from new, lol. Back in storage now until I build my forever workshop.
I came to your channel at the recommendation of your fellow RUclipsr - Ronald Finger - what an awesome channel you have here! For the last two weeks I have binge-watched your videos and your channel is supreme. I don't understand why you don't have over a million subscribers. People need to hear about your channel. Great job! I am addicted and in love with your content.
Anyone you can share with who you think will enjoy it, forums, clubs, pals... always welcome and a great help. Thanks for the kind words and all the best :)
sometimes i forget this channel exists, then again its a pleasant surprise when i see a new video. your new welder is the dogs bollocks, day and night difference
One of the best car channels on YT, i watch this when i wake up while eating breakfast and before i sleep to relax my mind 😁 i hope you continue making good videos and get more support!!
Top marks that man! It’s just so hugely satisfying when you get to that point of putting stuff back on. Loved the mistake too - makes me feel a lot more normal!
Agree with all of the positive comments. Always look forward to your updates. Best production I've seen on the restoration process. Will certainly keep following as long as you keep updating on your projects. Cheers.
After such a long time of watching your vids, I've just rolled a '71 Alfa Romeo 1300 GT Junior off a trailer, into my shed. A few days of fettling has got her running, with rebuilt carbs and a refreshed fuel system. This timely video has given me the gumption required to address the real issue though: the rust. Out to the shed I go...
Absolutely love the stop motion, content, and even the narration. You certainly deserve more subscribers, so keep up the good work.
Thank you Jeremy
Another fantastic video. Easily one of the top creators for car content here on RUclips. Thanks again

wonderful as usual, your beautiful work deserves 100 times your current subscriber base.
My patrons keep me afloat... so long as they grow it's all good :) Thanks a mill stoolz
I came to your channel at the recommendation of your fellow RUclipsr - Ronald Finger - what an awesome channel you have here! For the last two weeks I have binge-watched your videos and your channel is supreme. I don't understand why you don't have over a million subscribers. People need to hear about your channel. Great job! I am addicted and in love with your content.
Anyone you can share with who you think will enjoy it, forums, clubs, pals... always welcome and a great help. Thanks for the kind words and all the best :)
That's not too low mate, that's a perfect useable drop. Looking forward to seeing the front come down. 😃
def a bit of relief when I saw it, not as low as I was expecting. Has to settle a little yet though ;)
As usual, absolutely brilliant,
The only tube video that i watch repeatedly.
Love it, thanks Alasdair
sometimes i forget this channel exists, then again its a pleasant surprise when i see a new video. your new welder is the dogs bollocks, day and night difference
100%, absolutely loving it
I know these videos take an age to film and edit... but they are SOOOOO good to watch! You’re doing a great job.
Glad to know they're appreciated, just sorry I can't make them faster. Thanks :)
Horay! Fresh SOUP! Looking good there. Just getting better & better every time, George.
Love the new front bucket seat at 20:02!
lol I never twigged the bucket seat angle, comedy for miles
One of the best car channels on YT, i watch this when i wake up while eating breakfast and before i sleep to relax my mind 😁 i hope you continue making good videos and get more support!!
Top marks that man! It’s just so hugely satisfying when you get to that point of putting stuff back on. Loved the mistake too - makes me feel a lot more normal!
one of many many in this round of work. had more than one silly day. Thanks
I just love watching these videos!
Glad, thank you :)
As always, watching these installments just made my day. Thanks George, phenomenal content.
good to hear, I appreciate it thank you :)
Agree with all of the positive comments. Always look forward to your updates. Best production I've seen on the restoration process. Will certainly keep following as long as you keep updating on your projects. Cheers.
After such a long time of watching your vids, I've just rolled a '71 Alfa Romeo 1300 GT Junior off a trailer, into my shed. A few days of fettling has got her running, with rebuilt carbs and a refreshed fuel system. This timely video has given me the gumption required to address the real issue though: the rust. Out to the shed I go...
Oh what a choice!! That's a car with soul. Well may it wear, and take the rust a bit at a time, it'll get easier and easier. Cheers :)
One of the best video series on youtube. Gonna serve as a template to how i fix mine
The effort that goes into these productions.
all of it ;)
ive always wanted to see stop motion auto repair. the Benz is such a bonus
Lot's of other episodes too :) Thanks
Legit the best detailed videos on RUclips!
Detail is what I was going for, thanks Christian
Still the best content on RUclips. Keep at it George, first spin isn't too far away!
