Going viral on Infowars really broke hoovie and sent him back to his roots. Good to have you back haha. Go ahead and line up a cheap Bentley while you're at it.
Well said, stay away from that modern crap.
I second that, another Flying Spur/Continental GT would be sweet!
@@Labergemusic yep that modern crap don't even do more than 30mph
😂🤣😂🤣
There is a couple flooded ones in Naples Florida.
Ah, a return to form. Thanks for making the decisions we all wish we could, to show us exactly why we shouldn't.
That should be the tagline for this channel
I second that. Perfectly stated!!!
Nailed it.
There's always that friend who buys used cars based on how cool they are but trys to get the cheapest ones and ignores every red flag and does almost no pre purchase inspection. Then they bring it over to brag and we all laugh at their misfortune. I'll never forget the time my friend bought a lowrider '80s s10 for $2000. Total garbage wagon that looked cool sitting but was terrible to drive and was always broken.
Nothing against you Sir Hoovie but, watching you both for years I enjoy seeing videos with you and Wizard together better than each other's alone. I've watched yours and his evolution together and it's really fun to see how you bounce off each other and no one makes The Wizard laugh like you do.
"Me? No. But you, I expect you to." (said while laughing).
- best line in the whole episode!
So good of you to make the mechanics so happy. The Wizard started out grumpy but even he was giggling by the end!
This is vintage Hoovie content. This is what we love
As a fleet mechanic I love this freaking channel especially when wizard knows he’s gonna get rich off one car 😂😂😂
Yeah I don't buy that Wizard dislikes this kind of job ;)
@@christophertaylor9100 Wizard would be much different without Hoopties
@@gs1100ed Yeah you can see what happened to his fortunes by comparing his old garage with his newest place :)
how do you feel about gumout in my 208,000 mi car? good/bad idea?
@@mountains889 Never had good luck with gummout. Seafoam is the stuff. Fixed my old Honda motorcycle by running it straight through the carb for 5mins.
With all the awful things going on globally, this feels like a safe refuge and 100% hoopties is what we’re here for!
Honestly if that 3500$ gets everything going smooth that's a proper deal you got!
Key word "if,' and that's a big word when it comes to Mercedes
3500 to repair seems totally reasonable for that. Can't wait for a follow-up on this one!
I cannot wait to see what it looks like after the detailing episode!
while my toyota has 250k on it and no problems Mercs and BMWs are money pits they dont stop draining your pockets I never have one out of warranty, been there done that
Mates rates.....
Considering he'll be less than 7k into it I'm not sure what these are going for these days but the used car market is still insane I don't see why it couldn't be worth 10-12k if not more when he's done.
@@lutomson3496 I mean, how often do you see diffs just lockup like that? Methinks the previous owner put the wrong oil in it, or took it somewhere for a service and they drained the oil and forgot to add more in.
This is what we like here - hoofie finding shitboxes that might turn into diamonds. Nothing wrong with some nice supercars as well but variety is why this channel is so good.
Kudos also to Magic Mike for getting the best lines in this episode🤣
The supercar thing is played out and boring AF to me.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH I don't mind him finding lambos that are half buggered and then lots of fun with Car Wizard trying to fix them but yeah lately it's got a bit much.
That C36 drives really really well because it was built like a tank with
a bulletproof 3.6 straight six! Absolutely love the C36/43 design
and power.
M104.941 is one the best straight six!
I’m so glad you’re saving the SLK. Can’t wait for it to get fully detailed, looks like a winner. Hope you plan to get the C36 painted and detailed too, both are very nice!
this the only car youtube channel i watch consistently because your content is THAT good
Hell yeah! For me its Hoovie and Cleetus :D
He don’t do shit except act stupid
@@RICHY3_ Cleetus?
Are you thinking of Cleetus McFarland?
Hoovie is a genius.
Hoovie's my #2, after Leno.
The fancy supercars are fun sometimes but this is the bread and butter, Tyler. MOAR HOOPTIES!
The mechanic giggling at the end made my day! If my mechanic reacted like this when I brought in my car I would run leaving the car behind.
That's what happened that's how he got it 🤣
I actually just enjoy watching your channel. Whether its you enjoying a car at the track, on a road trip, chiseling away at some expensive hyper car or just plugging away at these hoopties, I love it all dude. Just do what you do.
Watched the sat in traffic in My SLK32 . The roof issue, there is a cover in the boot that you need to pull over to allow the hard top to go down, if that’a not in place, the light will flash as it did in the video so the hardtop may yet work!
That poor SLK32... I've had mine for years, and it's been absolutely fantastic to drive and wrench on. It's awesome to finally see one on your channel, Hoovie!
Those are nice cars if they're taken care of. A friend of mine has one and we always change the diff gear oil and reseal it every six months whether it needs it or not. I've helped him on that job several times when he hurt his back at work.
@@toysoldier46552 why such a schedule on the diff maintenance, are these known to be finicky or is that what is called for by MB?
@@jaybeemhardscrote7466 I think Mercedes recommends every 80-100k miles, that is absolutely not necessary. Transmission needs to be serviced every 40k, they have been known to leak fluid from the pilot bushing for the transmission control unit, and wick fluid into the control module. Other than that they are super solid drivetrains.
I owned one of those…they were great cars!
@@pouffykinkajou the slk32 was meant to have a sealed for life transmission. I changed mine at 50k and it made a massive difference.
I also upgraded the supercharger pulley with a kleemann kit to 400bhp .
The biggest problem was rust, the arches were bubbling at 50k miles and 7 years old!
I wasn’t around for the classic Hoovie era, so I’ve never understood why people have always asked for you to go back to this. After watching this, I’m beyond sold. I really hope this thing turns out well for you! Always joy to watch your content!
Time for you to check out the older vids?
These are actually really solid cars generally. Had one for a long time ran it to 230k miles with minimal issues
One of your best videos in my humble opinion. I was genuinely entertained and laughing when you put it in gear hearing your reactions.
We love HOOPTIES
And in typical Hoovie fashion, he heard the noise when he put it in drive, so he shifted back to neutral. Then a few seconds later he put it in drive again, just to hear it again.
The abuse cars receive under this guy...
I'm glad we have you to educate folks about the downsides of buying aging and neglected vehicles in a light way
Idk this video seemed like an endorsement of buying them
aging vehicles isn't the problem, neglected vehicles that sit for a long time is!
@@murry001 That's true and a great way to look at it
I wish I had the money for initial investment because some of these cars, this one included, if you find one parked and the owner has thrown up their hands and they think it's mechanically totaled, well shit if price is decent enough, and you got $3500 to fix it up, it could be a good return on investment. After he sinks 7k into it all tolled, and turns it around for 10-12k that's a good investment! Shit, even 9k on the low end and you still got a couple gs back. Not bad.
I just discovered your channel very recently, but it's already one of my favorites. I love the cars and learning about them, but at the heart of the episodes is you yourself, not afraid to laugh at yourself or predicaments you may find yourself in. You make these HORRIBLE, terrifying times much more tolerable with something fun and neat to look forward to each day. Thank you Tyler!
@@Kaktus965 That's a really stupid, ignorant, insensitive thing to say not knowing anything about my life that's none of your of your business, and more importantly I was not speaking to you or anyone else other than Tyler here, directly. It also shows you have very poor reading comprehension.
@@Kaktus965 are you serious? US isa train wreck for years, the world knows it , only Americans don't realise it,!
@@Kaktus965 only because of joe biden ruining the country and sky high inflation along with everything going up and the on going reccession but besides that everything is fine if you arent poor
This is the Best Channel on RUclips 100%. I love how he brings old cars back to live. Cheers from Canada.
Ah Magic Mike is Marvelous in this installment :)
RUclips needs to do something about all these scammers
I hope you really read the comments because I want you to know that I really appreciate your efforts in making these videos. Your knowledge and group of professional friends make for really quality and fun entertainment! Keep being awesome!!
Great video, love how you're back to buying Hoopties that need work. You referenced the roof not working, remember to open the boot (trunk) and pull out the protective liner as when it's retracted, it de-activates a button to prevent the roof from folding down. Cheers
JUST SAVE IT Tyler - It deserves to be saved ❤👌👍
-the sub that sent the car
Sorry Hoovie but these really are the best videos 😂👍
FINALLY a hooptie! This is why I started watching your channel. Thank you for going back to your roots.
Thank you for bringing back Hoovie's hoopties.
Just be yourself! that's what got you where you are. I really enjoy your experiences, good or bad.
But especially bad haha
I like that YOU guys always have a humorous way of dealing with these kind of problems..Keep it up..
This is exactly the kind of content that brought me to your channel in the first place! Love it!
You could legitimately spend more than $1900 just for a parts car of one of those!
Proper return to form here - long May it continue. Easy to get bored of expensive unobtainable super cars, these are the real hero’s!
This episode had me smiling and laughing from beginning to end. Excellent video, Hoovie!
"Here, throw that in there." "Here, throw that in there." Thank you Wizard.
Thank you for the content like that. It gets boring really quick to just see nice expensive cars.
Finally a return to your roots, thank you.
People prefer your hooptie videos, because most of us viewers can imagine ourselves doing the same thing, and we get to live that experience vicariously through you. Very few of us imagine that we'll ever own a Lamborghini or Ferrari, so it's hard to relate to those situations. If I want to watch rich guys paying way too much to get their supercars fixed, I'll watch Tavarish or Harry's Garage.
yes the reason we all subbed to hoovies garage was hooptie videos
@@TempoMontages I unsubbed because of the change to "showing off"...
this gives me early Hoovies Garage vibes and i love it
This is the stuff I’ve been wanting to see again. Glad your back Tyler! Love ya work buddy.
This is exactly what I want!!!! Back in the hoopty business and AMG's no less. Love it Hoovie!!!
These are the cars we love to see!!!!! Also OMG i absolutely am so happy the C36 is back!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for listening to your viewers, it was about time to see another hooptie. Great eppisode!
Hey Hoovie, glad to see your back into these types of videos. Always a pleasure when I see an upload, can't wait to see how much more content comes out!
As an enthusiast of the Sacco-era Benzes, I love these videos. Keep em coming Tyler. You help me justify my W220 every day lol
I love this channel & watching Hoovie & his adventures with these old sleds!!! It's kinda like watching a train wreck, you know that you shouldn't but you just can't help yourself!!!
Thanks Tyler!!! 👍👍🎃
I've enjoyed the high priced car videos, but this really made my day. Thanks for doing this one!
11:46 "what the... it just keeps getting worse" lmao you really nailed it with the content Hoovie
Been watching reviews of the new C63 hybrid all morning. Then hoovies uploads a video with a classic AMG engine! Just what I needed.
It's a v6 with supercharger, not v8
@@i-amMK And the first production AMG was a straight six. What’s your point?
@@izzy031096 I originally evidently typed v8 lol he was correcting me. But yes the v6 is still a great amg motor
Needswings rebuilds the diffs. A lot of people tried to do it themselves. Everything here is super fixable and can be upgraded. Valve cover gaskets on these are usually replaced very early as it was a common problem
Bang on brother
Yep , after ten years valve cover gaskets replace and breather cover reseals are normal maintenance on M112 and M113.
Thanks for getting back to your roots this is why I tuned in to the channel originally.
Now this is the stuff I subscribed to watch! I was starting to get a little bored with all the flashy stuff but now I’m back in.
YES! This is Hoovies Garage that I adore. Saving Hoopties! Don't get me wrong sometimes new stuff is fun but seeing old hoopties getting a second lease on life just makes me happy.
Wizard using water bottles as stress relievers
Hoovie is baaaaack!!!!! Love this video. Givin' old Mercs love again. They are sick(the good and bad kind) rides that require private mechanics. No one else can afford to keep 'em on the road. Thanks, Tyler, you give hope to the hopeless.
Hoovie makes all the dumb decisions we can't afford to make.
You cant afford 900$ mercedes?
@@xiukn8 i did not specifically mean financially. i just mean its not a good idea. and for me personally. i technically could. but it would be a massive waste of 900$ that i need right now because of my life situation.
people want to buy a lot of cars and fix them. the car price isnt the issue. the fixing price and cost of a place to store it. the time needed to work on it. etc. etc. this is not an achievable goal for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. you are being a ttard
@@xiukn8 $1900 plus repairs makes it $6000 . . . or more .
We all live vicariously through Tyler. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@waynepantry7023 are you sure its 6k not 60? Remember, this guy has yt acc so hes not homeless… he cant affors 6k car?
This was the best video I have seen from you in a while. I loved it. I can't wait to see the results.
2:21 Those wheels are a masterpiece. I put those on my S430 many years ago. Timeless classic
I’m so glad your back to cheap 90’s chod… More knackered Cars from Ze Germans is a must…. I remember seeing one in 96 for the first time while I was waiting for a train in Paris and it had crowds around it mesmerised.
The opening to this video was absolutely perfect. Genuinely laughed out loud.
Great Hovvies! The video is so much more interesting and more relevant to the public when you do old cars up in these financially challenging times! Love from the UK.
Haha @ Mike's comment at the end. He knows you too well.
This was more entertaining than some of your other recent videos. I love seeing stuff properly broken.
🤣😂🤣 Omg this was so good, how i missed these kinds of videos. Thank wizard for being part of these videos god bless his soul.
That plastic bottle became the Car Wizard’s stress ball once he saw the car 😂
Definitely need more Mercedes videos. Isn’t it the brand that made this channel popular in the first place?
"It's a good deal?!?!?!" Classic Hoovie. This video was so much fun, thanks for revisiting the classic formula.
Okay Tyler - the minute you shifted into gear...you had me laughing. Getting back to the Hoopties is fun! Wizard yells "Cocka Doodle Do!" Hahahaha
Hey Hoovie if you read all your comments then I just want you to know that you’re awesome and your channel is one of the best on RUclips!
Honestly since the work doesn't seem difficult, I'd love for Hoovie to work on this car himself. It would be really good content imo. I know he would never do it but he hasn't really worked on a car since the first iteration of Apollo 911. He definitely has decent mechanical knowledge, just next to no hands on experience.
He worked a few times but he definately is more a 2 lefthand guy. but with his 2 lefthands he opened a great channel and that also made the carwizard start his channel so we should be good ;)
Awesome video! Definitely needed this to lighten up my day.
So thankful you've gone back to the content that made this channel great! More of this and less supercars please 🙏
Remember to pull out the cargo cover out in the trunk, otherwise the top won't retract.
Thats probably why it didnt move. Battery was good for everything else !!
@@arnietwo11 There is a warning if the trunk is blocking the roof.
@@BatCaveOz i know ive owned 2.
@@BatCaveOz Yeah it's a blinking red light in the switch, just like the blinking red light on the video. The scary part though is the headliner is missing, usually a sign of a hydraulic leak at the roof clamp actuators.
That silver Merc is really cool. Hope your guys at Vango (Hope I spelt it right) can bring it back. Not really fond of that SLK design tho. Wizard used his water bottle as a stress relief ball, kinda says what he think about working on this SLK and/or Hoopties in general. Maybe ask Alex at LSC if he wants it?
Maybe after Alex and Peter complete work on that blower 40th Anniversary C4 Corvette...
Finally! You do you, Hoovie; this is what got you here in the first place and we love you for it!
this is the shit I come to youtube for.... so happy to see you going on adventures again!!
I actually like the first-gen SLK so this should be an interesting one.
It's better than the slk55. Better MPG, high altitude performance, same power levels, lower weight which means more agile in turns, shorter lighter chassis with fewer gimmicks that add weight than later years.
Removed all the old cellphone amps, GPS, cd changer, weird tire toolkit and some other fussy bits and lost 30 pounds in the rear end, going to shave even more with a lithium battery next. Doesn't sound like much but this car is 300lbs away from being able to pull 3.6-4.0 0-60 times. If I get a better garage I may try setting it up so that the roof goes down then I take off the trunk and remove all the roof gear to make it basically a sunny day only ultra light zoomer.
@@onenerdarmy For me it is the Styling it got too much in later SLK/SLCs.
@@onenerdarmy as someone who’s driven both cars, the 55 is certainly better
@@Mark-yi4be how? It's much harder to get more horsepower out of the NA V8 than the supercharger setup on the V6.
Also the F1 nose on the 55 and tail lights are a no go for me.
@@onenerdarmy Agreed, a done up M116K is a potent little engine. Supercharger pulley, Cold air intake, intercooler rad upgrade, loop bypass, and a tune. And your ready for some fun. Only really downside i found with the R170 chassis and the supercharged variant is the open diff. A proper wavetrac differental changes this car significantly.
The Hatchback Kompressor versions with the supercharger and 5 speed are also pretty cool and rare
I just saw one yesterday and they have the strangest rear end for Mercedes of that time period. Cool car.
Best vid in a while Tyler - love seeing that Car Wizard respect - great work
I started watching this channel from the time of merc benz v12.
With love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Wizards I don’t had me cracking up. As a mechanic I truly feel him😂
How much does it tow?
Finally! Thanks bro we all been waiting for this. If you want to change it up a bit, show us where you get the cars, for example go to auction viewing and film it, get a car from there. Legit street cars is finding all sorts of interesting cars in auctions. Just an idea. But otherwise this is the videos I love seeing old cars.
I’m actually randomly glad that Hoovie is gonna try to fix this car up, my dad had a 2003 C32 AMG that I grew up with and remember being at the Mercedes Benz dealership as a wide eyed 9 year old when my dad bought the car new on the lot, I was holding my little 1:18 scale 90s era SL500 model my dad gave me that we found at a flea market lol I believe this car has the same supercharged V6 engine that my dad’s car had, even though it probably wasn’t the greatest AMG car ever, they quickly went to V8 cars after his, but I have a lot of fond memories of that car and family road-trips in it, it’s sad to see one in such bad shape.
A cheap SVT Focus might be a cool future hooptie idea. I just picked up my 2nd SVT and they are very fun cars. They require higher maintenance than a regular focus and I'm sure you can find one with issues. It has an interference engine as well.
If you want to see Ford Focus SVT content on RUclips you DEFINITELY voted for Biden. 😂
@@KeepingItKeith lol not even close. Looks like I triggered a snowflake 😂
@@Ryan-yc3vu snowflake? That's the word you chose? 😂 Definitely the stupid response of a Focus fan who likes being pegged. 😂
@@KeepingItKeith says the one who came up with the stupid comment about accusing someone of voting for Biden😂😂😂. Man your life must really be pathetic if you have to comment that when someone has a different interest from you 😂.
Be a voice to preserve the car culture we know and love instead of this new-age modern garbage they call "cars"
Today's cars are just as much a part of car culture as old cars.
Yes this is one of the few channels I watch every episode. The content is that good!!
Hilarious hooptie! When Hoovie put that thing in Drive....LOL!
Thank you for going back to your roots I'm happy this is why I watched to begin with
Love these SLKs have two of them, I was wondering if you had the separator in the boot on as it can stop the roof mechanism not to work , looking forward to see her back on the road again.
I'm looking at buying one, any major things to look out for in your experience?
This is the RUclips videos we love please do more German and British junk 😊
THIS YES YES YES 👍👍
Good to see you getting back to your roots-also I use and trust Gum Out, I worked in the auto industry.
Great Video! Magic Mike at the end cracked me up too...
I have an 01 6 speed. It's a fun car. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. Might actually motivate me to clean mine up too haha. Jealous of your AMG tho.
I have an ‘02 that is fairly low miles and in great shape. Every time I talk about selling it and buying an SL, my wife asks me not to get rid of it. The cat delete definitely makes it extra fun.
really enjoyed this and look forward to an update. oh btw, do you ever see chevy caprice's around from the 80s and 90s? would love to see one of those on here
Good to hear that you read all the comments. Regards from The Netherlands.
The only person that buys money pits and somehow makes money off it
How many used cars does Hoovie own now?
The wizard used to act like Ricky Bobby giving an interview when he first joined this channel. He has just blossomed like a sunflower in the spring.
