- Part two of a detailed body repair and rebuild on a Mercedes W123 230E that has rusted in all the usual places. Fabricating and welding rear chassis rails and inner arches for starters. This is diy restoration. For support options visit www.georgekare... Thank you
In a society that places little value on craftmanship & passion, you are a beacon of hope. Keep up the brilliant work.
✌🏼🙂
It's not just mechanical things...it's a lot of LOVE. So nice!
love or just stubbornness ;)
Absolute respect to you for the time you take w/ the stop motion. I know it is painstaking but It is unique on YOU TUBE car channels & I greatly appreciate your effort.
Can't wait for the next upload.
Thanks NJ
First time I saw it I thought it’s like wallace & grommet meets wheeler dealers
Indeed, very nice videos, keep it up!

EASILY the most underrated car repair channel on RUclips. Criminally underrated. Every video is great. Every video is art. Great work.
The criminal underground ;) Thanks man
Just wow. Turning rusty old car repairs into art. Who would've thunk.
You have one of the most underrated pages on RUclips, I could rewatch your craftsmanship over and over. Keep up the progress!
Just use a new sign in every time, helps the numbers ;) [this is a joke YT]
Subscribed after seeing the full Range Rover vid, still blown away watching the cars repair themselves in front of my eyes. Mad respect for the dedication bringing your videos to life. Each one of your videos are true works of art.
The sub is a big help, thank you! notifications - *ON*
I have been following you from the moment I woke up to the stop motion restore of the Range Rover. In the middle of the night I have been watching that piece of art blown away by the beauty of the story you tell with it, the tonality in both color and framing, and the sheer magnitude of that work. Now, several months and beautifully honest narrations later, I find myself here at yet another project, for you over a year ago, of to me one of the most iconic Mercs. Again I am amazed by the love you have for the learning process, its value it has for you including all the pitfalls, trials and errors and how to overcome those. But most of all how generously you share the intricate details of that learning curve so others can pick up on those to help them move forward. For me, not even being a mechanic, that value is not in the literal sense but equally importantly in the willingness to accept the lesson gracefully, even in hindsight, instead of internalizing it as defeat. Such a valuable lesson, which I really viscerally experience watching your beautiful so well crafted videos.
I don't have the financial means to subscribe to your Patreon page, but I offer you my time and dedication by commenting as honestly as possible by letting you and my (future) fellow Soup admirers know what the value is I take away from your art pieces, both cars and videos, knowing YT traffic in both comments and likes help you stay afloat. Thanks so much for sharing your passion!
Never defeat! Thank you Jan Willem
Wonderful to watch, so I took a deep breath and raised my w126. No rust, 1983, no rust except the original intact exhaust which was light surface rust. An Atlanta, US, second owner automobile apparently never taken out in the winter. I have changed out the rubber parts and bilsteins, but every bolt removed went straight back in. New hoses, new filters, new brakes rotors and bulbs. She is just an old lady never taken to the ball.
😄You flipping knew you were in the clear, didn't you. You were just gloating. They're beautifully engineered and expense wasn't spared back then like it is now. Enjoy it, and thanks :)
I have an 87 W124 300D. I've done unlimited mechanical fixes but this makes me confident in the average man's repair ability for body work. Great job
I cannot stop watching the series.
Thank you. Wonderful work, amazing documentation and commentary. Enjoyed every minute.
George, I'm still enthralled by your channel. The cinematography is captivating and the content brought me in. Found you a month ago and still watching an episode an evening. I'll be getting stuck in again soon. Good luck.
Could watch these episodes all day..
Love the moody feel you've created here, matching in music with the weather conditions that keep you in the shed rather than being under the car. Valiant efforts 💪🏻
Bermuda shorts, pineapple coctkails and a Beach Boys soundtrack come summer ;)
I almost can't believe the amount of work and passion that goes into this video series and this car. I have a w123 that I had to park for the winter for major rear suspension work. I'm really no mechanic by any means but this had given me a lot of confidence to get in there and put her back together again.
Great work my friend from a fellow Dub who restores VW Splitscreens buses
Thanks a mill man, good to hear. No better way to get away.
As you have worked on this W123, I have had a growing appreciation for your efforts to keep this car on the road. Most, especially here in the US, just become scrap at this stage and beyond. While not a terribly desirable or rare car, it is built with quality unlike anything today and that makes it special. Thanks for your continued efforts and always excellent production George!
You said it! Not the greatest looking car, or the fastest, just a comfortable cruiser and work of quality that will never be repeated. I think more people would want one if they experienced one. Back at you Matt :)
Wow. The magnets did it for me, never would have thought of that. Great video!
I also enjoy finding markings and serial numbers on parts throughout Mercedes cars.
Sometimes it also reveals other models of which the same part is shared.
The brake junction looked so special once it was cleaned back.
I didn't even do a very good job on it. Will have to spruce it up for fitting 😅
Haha yeah, shiny enough is good enough
The music is a wonderful match to your story telling style. Thank you for doing you!
Thanks for watching and the support :)
Spectacular video stop motion action. Truly impressive
Thank you :)
I'd just popped home for a spot of lunch and to place some work orders, I suddenly find myself drawn to a notification of a new video and that's that. Deeply relaxed after some world class mechanical amsr.
yes! Thank you
I will tell you, for not being a "professional", you are doing a very nice job, it may not be "prefect", BUT you did it yourself, and should be PROUD of your work
This was absolutely amazin! Love the style of shooting/documenting! Takes a ton of patience to do the actual work and the filming!
🍻
So much quality in one video....you just deserve so much more than just a youtube channel....
Damn. Just stepped in the house after spending the day welding up my rusty banger and see you chopping out rubbish welding that’s better than mine... then added insult to injury watching your subliminal work, with monstrous levels of filming to boot!!! Wonderful content, keep up the exceptional work :)
Really nice work on that rust area!
Yes maybe a repair panel is available.. but the joy of fixing with what you have is so rewarding!
Oh, and nice to see you started to use the new welder... :)
Harold Edgerton must have been a hero of yours..anyway, you are a hero to many a DIYer..bravo Mate..
I can’t believe I didn’t catch your channel sooner!!! Big fan of your work!!!
Thank you, glad you did :)
Another fantastic episode, superb videography mixed with talented craftsmanship on the car. The final underseal shot is so satisfying, well done! THis channel should have 1m+ subs
only 960k to go! 😭
Frankly, video quality is just beyond amazing...
major bugbear for me, constantly working to make it better. Thank you :)
I'm cutting rust from a W108 myself. TBH it's not my favourite part of a build, but you make it seem more pleasurable than I find it.
W108 is my all time Benz, ok all time real world Benz. I'm jealous, but I'll bring one into the series eventually. I have a plan. Stick with it, I get a real satisfaction from trying to improve my body repairs. There's art in it. All the best :)
George, your welding has improved now you've got a proper setup. You'll have the Merc up and running in no time. It is always true that once you've worked on one side, the other side gets done quicker than the first. Looking forward to some more Lotus shenanigans. Your stop motion is what makes your channel.
The welds were a bit tall for grinding but seemed to have good penetration. I'm honing the new welding method/stop motion with each job now. I'll be back on the Lotus in Feb if it means overnighters between now and then ;)
Just awesome. I'd forgotten how good the cinematography, stop motion and that silky smooth voice-over are. Keep up the great work George!
never . forget! Thanks for sticking by john :)
Great to be back on the restos.
Love your content I'm restoring a classic mini at the moment and some times wish I had never started with it. Your videos almost make it seem romantic to be restoring a car, breathing life back into somthing desting for a scrap yard. Great content
I like to say that any day that has welding in it, is a good day! Thank you so much for your work on this video!...Just the shot in the arm I needed to do the same thing to my 1984 Mercedes 280TE, a grey-market car here in the States! Mine sat in the dry heat of New Mexico for seven years and the only rust is showing in this area. Per your comment about poor oiling of the top end, I am working on engineering a solution. If you are interested in any NLA AMG style spoilers for this car, there is a wonderful craftsman in Kazakhstan who makes a complete assortment: front, rear (lower and rare TE tailgate upper) and side skirts and they are superbly made and available thru eBay. My complete set, with shipping to the U.S. was $600USD. Also, we have similar tastes, the previous car I owned for 14 years was a 1994 LWB Range Rover.
I wept. For I have just discovered SOUP and watched it all...
I am in awe of your dedication considering that so much of your work is outside. I live nearby in Ireland and I have some trivial jobs to do on my cars and I’m putting it off till the warmer weather. The W123 is often described as the last “real” Mercedes, it’s the little details and the amount of thought that went into the design. It’s great to see yours taking shape.
Someone said that it's one of those cars that'll never be repeated. Such attention to detail and dedication quality. It's a lovely car to work on. Get out and try one of those jobs you're putting off, you'll wonder why you didn't sooner :)
Spent an hour on the 1970 Europa S2 this evening - thanks for the encouragement/push. I am taking the engine out to repair a section of the frame damaged decades ago (previous owner) when a motor mount failed. Had planned to have an expert do the welding.... but, after hitting 'COMMENT' I think I'll look around for a second-hand welder. John in Victoria, BC. Canada
Mate, when I look in the dictionary under Stoic, there's a link to your channel. I cannot believe how you just keep going regardless. I tips me hat to you......
Jesus I love being called Stoic. Especilaly after the train your dragon movies lol
Happy 2020 George, always captivating to see you get stuck in. It looks like the new welder will serve you well. Just a reminder to those who are switching from flux core to gas shielding MIG, the polarity of the leads must be switched for best results.
I myself am getting stuck in again on the Lancia and will be forthcoming with a new episode, thanks for the inspiration!
Nice tip RM :) Will watch out for the Lancia, good luck with it
Great work GK. Beautiful fabrication and very satisfying results. 👉🏻👈🏻
👈🏼 👉🏼 [minimum distance] 😄
SOUP . Classic Motoring , it’s OVER.
I've watched hundreds of videos, yours are most satisfying ever!
Deadly! Thanks Mike :)
Quality worth waiting for, love the “get some practice in” rather than replace philosophy.
masochism ;)
The Metcedes Benz,W123 is starting to look awesome, especially, with all the rust treatment,👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks 👍
Yay! Fresh SOUP for Saturday morning! Those repairs are looking good there, George, despite the winter weather.
Getting it done Mykl :)
Great job with the camera and with the Mercedes. One of the best car channels in RUclips. Thank-you for taking the time to build this piece of art.
Thanks a mill :)
M539 restorations recommendation. Well worth the watch.
Watching the cleaning of the brake union was incredibly satisfying for some reason. Happy New Year George !
Nothing but weirdos in the comments on this channel.
Hey if getting horny over a good wire brushing is weird, then sign me up for the circus baby.
Respect to you boys to set the bars so high man the way the video are edited its a masterpiece 👌👌👌
Also the scenes of the Irish winter from 7:55 to 8:30 are phenomenal.
There's nothing like clear skies but there's a special kind of cosiness in heavy weather on the right day. Cheers Dan
Your opening monologue hit a nerve. "That project car is calling the shots and you cannot make it go any faster than it does"... Glad to see a new vid!
universal truth ;)
Welding looks much cleaner. And the commentary as smooth as David Attenborough. Miserable weather for car tinkering.... so I havn't bothered. Yet.
Quilt lined overalls lads, they'll change your life. Great buzz to be had from being out there and being done by spring/summer.
I just wanted to say that what you're doing is incredible here, man. The work you put in is unheard of, can't wait to see more!
I'd be out playing in traffic otherwise ;) Thanks lad
I liked how you used the magnet, that was kinda cool. I also liked the switching before/after, it reminded me of the neat things clickspring does with animations.
Im working on some stop motion too. its very laborious, but there are so many neat things that you can do!
It's the best for raw detail, good luck with your projects
@@soupclassicmotoring Wanna see what I got cooking?
I just discovered your channel and I have to say that ou are an incredible job, not just in the restorations but in the amazing way to show them. congratulations. greetings from Buenos Aires
I feel at peace watching this video
I enjoy your videos, both visually and your commentary.I have a 123 as well
One day you're going to be too big a channel to reply to comments. That'll be a good day for you and a sad day for us. In the meantime, keep up the great work. I love everything about your restorations.
Very cool thing to say, I mean uplifting. Think it's a matter of attitude though, I don't want to be that guy who sucks it all in and acts like it's too much to at least try to acknowledge. Thanks for posting :)
A real pleasure watching the video.
I just realized you're doing all this on the ground. Mad lad.
Gotta do what I gotta do, it'll pay off in the end :)
Good to have you back George,
Getting on a roll this year, thanks man :)
Stop motion goodness! Remarkable repair vidde.
This is bliss. Thank you for making your lovely videos! ❤🥇
You are an artist my friend, very satisfying work.
Good to see another quality video from you. Inspired repair and documentary. Cannot find this kind of video anywhere. You need your own TV show
"Cars for those who care". Thanks Garry
Your dedication to getting the shot and the editing is amazing. The car work too is excellent too. When u need a day off come visit me... I'll give u a great day out in Cork....
Thanks Adrian :)
This is the best restoration video i have ever seen. Period. 👌
انا مدمن مقاطع صيانة السيارات لاكن لم اشاهد مقطع جميل وممتاز وروعه ومشوق مثل المقاطع التي تصنعها انت احسنت احسنت احسنت استمر ترليون لاك 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your videography. I know it takes ages, but it’s soooo satisfying to watch! Great work.
It's worth it at this end, so glad it works at that end. Thanks Dave :)
Your new welder has set you free! well done mate!
big big win here, thanks man
Please give more... thanks- every 123 owner
Truely a pleasure to watch these videos. Great naration and its great to see your work.
Thanks Michael
I like that stop motion technique, you can really see how much a panel shifts when subject to welding heat.
Always love seeing the distortion settling :)
I really like your almost archeological sense for detail. I only wish I had a place where I could spent time with my 1976 280 SLC (w107). It's just as rusty as your w123, but it still feels solid as a tank. But right now it's in a barn 100 km from where I live. Maybe one day...
The best three steps I have found for saving pieces of original anything is , degreasing, glass beading and then vapor honing. It makes everything look brand new again. expensive to purchase a system but best to build your own. I definitely want to see your system. I am sure it will be beautiful and functional.
Had a blast cabinet in mind first and I'm guessing that'll be versatile in terms of media? Can't wait for that day, it's just a little ways down the priorities list right now. thanks Jimmy
Absolutely loved this episode, great filming, great soundtrack, and fantastic work. Thanks again George!
Moody one this time right Har?
Top job as ever Mr.G.
👊🏼😎
Crazy, I have a w123 so originally I came here for some tips, but I have to say the production, the cinematography and the music I feel like I am watching art. Great job my man!
Thanks for sticking around :)
Great work 👍👍👍 allways happy to see your videos
Cheers Hansjörg
very relaxing
i have a bmw e23 745i , with similar issues , i worked out everthing now it starts
I watched Tommy Tiernan last night on RUclips and somehow I ended up thinking that you had not posted for a while :P. Great to see you creating great content in 2020! Thank-you.
Wouldn't miss it, the groove will be carved out this year. Thanks Blair
I watch alot of car videos and this is the best edited one I've ever seen
Great stuff, as usual. Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos
Poetry this is! Outstanding
Spoken like a wordsmith :)
Great work. Really looking forward to seeing the Merc back on the road. The W123 is a candidate for the perfect classic. Tough, usable in modern traffic, and good parts availability.
Couldn't have said it better, just a useable and hard working car that'll look after you. Any day now Gray :)
You somehow manage to give your videos an art like feeling. I feel that you are on your way to the top. Congratulations !
thanks for the nice thought Liviu. :)
Love the stop motion.
a pleasure to watch. wish i had your tools/talents.
i DD a w123, but im a lazy owner due to om617a + deferred maintenance + mild weather.
R E S P E C T !!! for everything !!! The Video, the labour and the endless love to the lucky W123 !!! Regards from Ralf from Stuttgart, also Owner of a wonderfull W 123 230E from 1982
very very nice, enjoyed the commentary greatly
Brilliant, simply brilliant! The accompanying music adds a nice touch to this series of videos and the welding is looking great. Looking forward to more work on the Esprit!
On the way! Thank you :)
Thanks for pointing out the factory cavity wax. I’ve just recently learned about that.
Your work is really good it, gives me a great sense of satisfaction just watching, it's like an artists performance.
🍻
Wow. I m amazed by The trick at 5:30
Superb work George. On both the car and also the videography. Superb. :)
lost of flow this time Stu, thanks man
Nice weldings, better video edition : ) Happy to see you again, George!
Thank you Juan
Just stumbled on to the channel, what a find !! Great time-laps video and editing, interesting subject ( who knew watching someone do patchwork welding on old cars would keep your interest for more than 5 min) All I have to do now is explain to my wife why the bathroom renovation I am supposed to be doing has ground to a halt. Keep up the awesome work.
Another wonderful video! George, you are truly making art!
Thanks MA
