Soup Classic Motoring Hello. I am very impressed with your videos! You are doing a tremendous job! All episodes were shot so that it is simply impossible to distract from watching. Your job of repairing rusted parts of a car’s body from pieces is really cool! This proves that nothing is impossible if a person has a desire and passion. These videos made me return to thoughts of restoring my very rusty car with renewed enthusiasm. Thank you for that! By the way, is it possible to somehow contact you for a consultation? I am also an ordinary guy who wants to restore a car with his own hands. I just would like to get at least general advice about my project, I could send photos of this car. Everyone who saw this car told me that this is impossible, I would like to know your opinion, if possible. Thank you
Man I like your style. This is car entertainment in meditative form. I'm *so* fed up with the channels that just speed-talk part numbers from the posh aftermarket catalogues. It doesn't teach me anything useful to know what performance part (that I can't afford) is best for a check-book style build (that I can't afford) that just throws everything away that isn't in mint condition, and replace it with billet this and carbon fiber that. But your stop motion of rust repairs show me *exactly* how to go about it. To us plebs in the wet zones (with salt on the roads in the winter) it is always the corrosion curse that prohibits us from getting our dream cars. One sweet day (or rather, number of years) I'm going to get a Mazda RX-7 FD that everyone thinks too far gone, and I'm going to save it from the crusher. Your work both teaches me and keep the dream alive. Thank you :)
Woohoo! I follow Ronald Finger and was surprised when he mentioned your channel as one of his favorites. I always find it neat when people I follow follow channels I like.
There is something so satisfying about watching someone do a decent, professional and thorough job on something like this. Hacking away all the rust and rot, welding in new metal, and sealing it all in with a decent paint job. Lovely!
Soup is the world class standard of guided meditation in automotive repair & metalworking. Filled with priceless advice and age old secrets these episodes are appropriate enough for brave DIYer’s and mechanical voyeurs alike. Oh and the humour is bang on. Top quality entertainment!
Man, No one on this planet can make like your video. Exceptional Mechanical and Documentary making skills. Simply you are the best in what you doing. Salute from Dubai, UAE🇦🇪
Glad to be on that long list of new patrons, George! If anyone is on the fence about supporting I can definitely say it's worth it. Feels good to support something I enjoy watching so much and the extra content is great.
Awesome! I own a w116 300sd (1979) and I'm currently working on reinstalling the rear flanges back onto the hubs. I have to configure a tool to press the flanges thru the hub openings and get enough of the flange threads to protrude thru the other side so that I can then position the inner bearing then tighten everything else by tightening the grooved nut/castle nut onto the flange threads. The grooved nut/castle nut requires a matching special socket to tighten. I have to tighten the threaded castle nut/grooved nut to the correct tolerances (preload on bearings), without over tightening, or I will have to start all over. Starting all over would require the crush washer/ring to be replaced with a new one. The crush washer cannot be used again if you over tighten the nut (exceeded the correct preload on the bearings) . Dial gauge is absolutely necessary. Your videos allow me to concentrate and have patience. Thanks!
I had to really concentrate just to stick with you there... sounds a torture! Fair play for sticking with it the right way. Good luck with the rest, and thanks :)
when you just expect another boring DIY-video, only interesting, because it could light up some memories of your beloved w123 thirty years ago. But than you are nearly shocked by this work of art. Thanks for this kind of entertainment. Greetings from Germany and stay healthy ;-)
Just found your blog about 10 days ago, have watched all of you videos now. I guess I'm going to just have to wait like everyone else now for the next one.....bugger! Your video skills are unquestionably brilliant, but you have no right to be such a skillfull, resourceful and hard working car restorer too. No stopping you now with that new welder. I am going to have to do something to help that new workshop dream become a reality. You are such a nice guy and a pleasure to watch.
What an epic episode, made me smile and roar with laughter, don't sniff petrol 🤣 fire bucket 🔥🤣🤣. Congrats on so many more Patrons George that's fantastic.
don't play with fire either Simone 😅In fact we're all operating without adult supervision and someone has to be held accountable. Thanks and see you in a bts update asap :)
Love how you do your videos. You do a great job showing the nitty gritty of builds like this. No frills, straightforward descriptions. I found your channel from Ronnie Finger.
I applaud your amazing work you put into editing these videos. Not to mention the great progress you are making on the car. Anyone who dislikes this mans videos is childish honestly
just cant get enough of your videos, It's like therapy to watch. Feels like an escape from my own project but it's also inspiring me so much to get the work done. thank you !
Got to love the way this guy makes his videos. Chilled stop-motion. Very satisfying to watch. I could watch this guy all day, although my wife might have something to say about that.
These lesson's in 1970's BBC Latin, recycling the largest household item and in life its self are invaluable for the modern slightly ageing man. A great video for all beard enthusiasts. Many thanks for creating.
Content is pretty much market driven for the most part... or at least the YT system favours the things that appeal to the people, so it's a catch 22. I'm just making something the way I'd want to see it, and hoping for the best :)
Someone recommended this channel to me a couple of days ago. some of the things that really appeal to me are the fact that it's not some fancy, shiny workshop full of expensive tools, the fact that the mistakes (I find I do most car jobs at least twice because I've messes something up!), the great, relaxed, casual tone of the narration and the mesmerising stop-motion which is incredibly hypnotic as well as being an excellent way of demonstrating and documenting the process! I love it, keep up the great work!
Thanks to Ronald Finger, I found your channel! I wanted to acknowledge your exceptional work and dedication to your projects! It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. There is something special about scenes shot in stop motion that is very satisfying.
Hello to Russia, excellent work, I always watch your videos with great pleasure, I do cars myself, your work is a huge job, you are great, there would be more videos of such success for you and your hands!
George!! you just made my last quarantined Sunday so much better. Just watched half of the episode but I loved the Roman names of the tools and I'm very happy to see you again after a month or so... keep going! big shout out to you from Cochabamba Bolivia.
No worries, least I could do! I meant to say that if you're buying an electric finger sander look for one with metal rollers for the belt, some have rubber coated ones and basically they're not as good imo. :)
I’ve owned at least 13 Classic mercedes diesel sedans and currently am without one. I miss having a W123 every day. I’ve rebuilt all of their suspensions and wish I could have torn the front apart like you did. It came out nice. Totally subscribed
Just speechless ... don't even know how I ended up here but as a bloke who cannot even fix my pull brakes on my bike, I am in awe! Not only an ace spanner man but the camera work and editing is just jaw dropping ... I have just nipped to the kitchen and grabbed some munchies and a brew as that's me for the day now ... going to watch everything you do ... and maybe have another go at them brakes later!
I've just binge watched most of your oeuvre (!) and I want to know why didn't I discover your channel until yesterday? It is head and shoulders above most of the similar stuff in every possible way. Thank you for easing the lockdown tedium!
Wow - serious new patronage! Your W123 is exactly the same colour as the one belonging to the landlady of the flat we moved into in Liverpool when we got married 27yrs ago. Her name was Pat and she had this fantastic twenty year old five cylinder 300D that rattled into life outside our window every morning in that same shade of metallic green. Great memories - keep at it George!
Looking good, George. I have one of those ball joint presses! And a breaker bar. Needed it to use the press to get the joints out, (and the new ones in), a few years ago as they were all loose. Fantastic tools! Hope you receive all your errant bits soon to get it going. I like the Jag in the background there. Always wanted an XJS HE, myself...
I think they should land any day, and I've plenty to do in the meantime. The Jag will come into the foreground soon man, but I've a few things to bring you first ;)
Thanks George, was having separation anxiety from the w123 and my second home, welding is looking 100% better with the r-tech rig, loving your work still 👍
The new welder is an absolute gem and the best things since sliced bread. Nearly through my first ever bottle of gas too... exciting lol. Thanks a mill Mathew
Another fantastic video , George, This is really enthusiastic and you make me (us, see these numerous comments down there..) learn so much. Thanks again
Thanks for the videos mate, they superbly soothing, but also informational. I am also restoring a W123, and these close-up shots are amazing. Best channel on RUclips - change my mind.
You sure know how to make a video! Everything about it, from the narration to the comical Scientific names! But, the thing I like most, is the stop frame animation! That must take a lot of time! Keep up the good work!
Hands up all those who moved back from the screen when George was using the hammer on the ball joint and it swung towards the camera! 😁 Well done, another fantastic video 👍🏻
Another fun episode with all these tools and the amazing style of innovation. Thank you, my friend, for these great videos. I wish you more support and success, my friend.
Your videos on rust have been interesting for me. I've been German car guy (E39, E39, E36) for a while, but recently got an Alfa 156 sportwagon. Beautiful, beautiful car, but I have found 3 rust holes under the windscreen cowl. The rest of the body and chassis is great, as I'm in Australia. I did buy a bunch of stuff, along with a Kemppi 200 evo mig welder. Just got to get a few more tools, some sheet metal and gas. Cheers from the land of no salted roads.
Nice one George. 😉 Great to see the Merc progressing nicely. Lovin the ending, yes we all do silly things and great to see it wasn't edit out. Keep well mate. From Sydney, Down Under.
I thought we were going to get a gardening episode at the start! I used to work with a Timorese mechanic who maintained the only tools anyone needs are hammer, chisel, zip tie, super glue and duct tape 😆 Another impressive video! Thanks!
Superb content as ever. Beautifully shot and the combination of your narration, soundtrack and stop motion makes it very relaxing to watch. Brilliant work.
I've been 'restoring' (ie keeping them going with minimal funds ) old vehicles more or less continuously since swapping the barrel and piston on an NSU Quickly in 1966 at the age of twelve, and I still learned several things from watching this video :D I love your style and your witty banter which makes me feel like we are just having a little chat... One thing I might suggest though is to get an impact gun - I bit the bullet and bought a top spec DeWalt one a few years ago and it is without question my most treasured tool (no good for stop-motion animation though I guess). Two things that I could not have done at all without it - removing the front crank pulley on a Rover V8, and pressing out the front ball joints on a Diso TD5. In both cases I spent many hours trying ALL other options (including 4ft scaffold tubes) before finding that 'Old Rattler' did it in seconds! Keep up the good work. Roger
Man.. your videos are satisfying i mean the soundtracks and even your voice everything is relaxing 😌 thank you for your hard work 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello. I am very impressed with your videos! You are doing a tremendous job! All episodes were shot so that it is simply impossible to distract from watching.
Your job of repairing rusted parts of a car’s body from pieces is really cool! This proves that nothing is impossible if a person has a desire and passion.
These videos made me return to thoughts of restoring my very rusty car with renewed enthusiasm. Thank you for that!
By the way, is it possible to somehow contact you for a consultation? I am also an ordinary guy who wants to restore a car with his own hands. I just would like to get at least general advice about my project, I could send photos of this car. Everyone who saw this car told me that this is impossible, I would like to know your opinion, if possible.

I've been 'restoring' (ie keeping them going with minimal funds ) old vehicles more or less continuously since swapping the barrel and piston on an NSU Quickly in 1966 at the age of twelve, and I still learned several things from watching this video :D
I love your style and your witty banter which makes me feel like we are just having a little chat...
One thing I might suggest though is to get an impact gun - I bit the bullet and bought a top spec DeWalt one a few years ago and it is without question my most treasured tool (no good for stop-motion animation though I guess). Two things that I could not have done at all without it - removing the front crank pulley on a Rover V8, and pressing out the front ball joints on a Diso TD5. In both cases I spent many hours trying ALL other options (including 4ft scaffold tubes) before finding that 'Old Rattler' did it in seconds!
Keep up the good work.
