Wife and kids away for the weekend….steak dinner and a 10 year old Irish wiskey …. and this brilliant video from Soup. Life is good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

THE best and most entertaining stop-motion on KZfaq.

You’ve turned auto builds into an art form. Watching the stop motion is like ASMR for the eyes. Brilliant!!

Did you hear me screaming at the screen to CLEAN THE DASHBOARD!!!!! lol Editing as I watch.. LOVE the color. Cant wait for the interior and the LOTUS!!! My favorite automotive channel on youtube!

Another massive lump of much needed motivation.

I was quite surprised (positively) to hear the same soundtracks I use for my videos. Good taste involved :d

Two videos in 2 weeks? It truly is a Christmas to remember!

The stop start reminds me of Tony Harts stuff when I was a kid.

Your expertise is in film making. Love the color of the van.

Just in case you didn’t know. You are an inspiration to all the people that don’t take the step forward to actually doing things. Thanks.

Cool Beans dude....what a great job you have done to get that o'l girl looking beautiful again!

You went for the UPS look, Great video.

A box of Quality Street and a new Soup video - perfect! Thank you George, and happy Christmas!

Intelligent colour selection for discreet use as a camper and alpine glass will transform interior ambience with light. W124/w126 seats would be a nice upgrade over the sprinter if you can make them fit 27:54 glass sunroof tilted up gang

Classic, er, Soup Classic! The van’s coming on very nicely!

Great footage and music....thumbs up !

Seems like you are spoiling us with uploads so close together....no complaints

A rare treat...two Soup videos in two weeks! its Christmas indeed!

The glass guy really good it’s an art from 😀

Watched this episode on the commute home in the early hours with a random stranger on a London train that I have done my best to convert to soup life. Love it George- keep up the good work. Every subscriber counts !

Jeez, that was bloody brilliant !Thanks,George.

Yasssss!! It's like we're back in the Soup rainy season! After the summer drought we now have a VERY welcome return of the camper - and what a return! It seems like just a couple of episodes ago it was just a bare skeleton, and now the exterior is (99%?) done, and it's on to the interior - what fabulous progress! Congratulations George, I'm so excited to see what comes next!

AWESOME to see the progress in your special video way! Thanks for Wisconsin USA!

Awesome as always and love the t-shirt 🤙. Tony is a legend, he is the only man I will use for glass 👌

love the masking tape method for neat sealant application!

I love you George. That’s all.

Epic surfshack on wheels, George. That'll take you and friends to distant lands in style!

Like the color and great to see big progress in this video that must really have been great feeling. There were some very funky flute happening in the score this time 🙂

Get some wurth bumper dye on the bumpers, will make them nice and black! Great build, awesome channel!

The Paint looks good George, you did well mate 👍👍👍

Yeah. So satisfying. Looking forward to some more vintage wedge content

I haven’t even finished the film, but I must say that each chapter from this series is just a masterpiece !

Good man yerself Soup, I mean George. Keep the vids coming thick and fast, tis the ticket to KZfaq success!

I ❤ your content. Unique and very personal.

Nice work, creative cut and enjoyed the music so much 🙂👍

I Always have to tell myself During the summer ''Be patient wait for winter, Then I can have some soup'' Best of luck.

Cracking colour. Get some Boiled linseed oil on those bumpers and it definitely deserves a flat and polish. Keep up the excellent content.

It's impossible for me to comprehend the time, skill and patience that went into this.

Excellent video -- Thank you for sharing.

Yo Soup ! Happy to be seeing you before Christmas ! If I don’t see you before New Years Eve , I’ll be a bit sad but wishing you well and hope to see much more of you in 2023 🎉

9:23 what a great cover!! Who doesn’t love a good brass ensemble.

You were being missed 😁 Thanks for doing this for us. I will watch it later in the night - full screen 👍👍👍

Seemed like the first 12 minutes have a different feel than the rest of the series. All good. Thanks for the exterior details.

Yeah 🤘 Stop-motion rules! 😉😊

You've outdone yourself on the editing for this one. Also I LOVE THE BROWN!!!!

George me lad, that's the finest Sprinter in the land. Can't wait to see what happens next! Hope you're having as much fun doing it as we are watching it.

So finally on the road....amazing transformation

Today you have convinced me and I have become a patron. Thank you very much for what you do. A greeting from Spain.

Looks great George. All that work and you didn’t clean up the fittings, surprised with your drive for perfection you could cope with that! Get some ceramic coating on the black parts and then it just needs a wet sand, polish and ceramic coat all over!!!

Brilliant you're doing a cracking job if I was a man of means I would buy you some alloy wheels for it 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

It must have been so satisfying putting on all those shiny new part's, give it a good going over with waxoyl to protect all your hard work

Looking great, this is the only bumper dye that I have ever found that works, and is easy and satisfying to use: Würth Plastic Dye Plast PT 75ml

very clean, very satisfying, now it really needs the plastics to get a bit of a shine and color back

That transition at 17:00 is fantastic! 🙂

Always a joy to watch!

STUNNING

Here is the consecration of a long serie. So happy for you! After all this rust it must be solo relaxing to see it finished. That was it for mine 😜

I think that I've already seen the glass guy somewhere else on KZfaq. He's awesome, an absolute pro. :) Btw, it's a great build. Can't wait to see the ultimate surf-wagon finished.

Well done fella, this is the best I've seen 👏

You’re an absolute legend!

SERIOUSLY nice work!!

Keep going George.....really enjoy watching your videos. Taking on a van that size is a huge task. very rewarding seeing it come together

well done man, looks great, the only thing I'd have done is hit the plastics with back To black before putting it on.

& that Ladies & Gentlemen, is a genius at work...

Awesome !!! SO impressed with your persistence !!!!

The cinematography is astounding! I can only start to imagine how much extra work it takes to film this beyond the amazing amount of work to do the restoration!

I’ve been getting stuck in from the very beginning Soupy. Doors shut click. I carry the good luck words when ever I’m under my car. Thank you

Interesting video Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us. 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹

gran turismo menu music ?? close if not been loving this van series tho !

Congrats on getting it painted! No easy job with something so large. Love the colour. I'm a big fan of greys and browns and think they still have a place on the modern roads! As someone who was a longnhaul truck driver for years, I can say that the romanticised versions of van life you see on intagram are a facade of the daily struggle to get your pants on, but since it shit hot right now, good work!

Great video as always thank you very much really enjoyed it

Class job ...and loved the Sprinter to E220 parking transition ;)

I had a 1999 2000 one of these back in the day doing courier work, brings back a bit of memories looking at your one being rebuilt you done a magnificent job with it

Yet again George you've done something amazing, what a fantastic condition that van is now, i wonder how many 20 year old Merc Sprinters are still running around! Also proving again you are the guru for applying body seam sealant, having learnt from the master my old defender no longer leaks in the rain, well not as much as it did :)

These videos must take days! Thank you, George!

Fantastic, great attention to detail.

Love that colour, what did you ask for, prosthetic leg brown? Looks wicked can't wait for more!

Tres bon travail , bravo ! "Be Seeing You" ! 👌

Do jaja, svaka čast .

Brilliant work as usual. Great video production, and sound design 👍🇦🇺

Wow.... what a work.... would drive me crazy to work and film in such an way.... w o w

George, It looks a great after all that work you have put into it you need a result like this to boost your spirts and knowing all that prep work is behind you now has to make you very happy, Looking forward to the rest of the build and hopefully you will get a chance to come out to Austria in 2023. I guess when it‘s finished a tour around Europe wouldn't be a bad idea. It would at least give you respite for a few weeks lol. Cheers Dave

Nice work. Perfect camo color for an aventure into the bush. A 15000 pounds front winch, the right tires and you could almost go anywhere. Thanks for the share.

No doubt they call that colour “mocha” or some other coffee inspired name, but really it is “nappy brown” 😜 Well done, George, on the job and the will to try it out.

Nicely done! The Patreon behind-the-scenes videos are interesting, but it's the stop-motion that I love

Been following for years, and every new video never fails to inspire me. You make the unachievable seem achievable. You turn the big problems into small excuses and what I've learned is that they don't matter, as long as you keep going back, keep stuck in. All else will prevail. Kudos to you.

Super job even if the milkshake brown is'nt my favourite choice of colour. Looks great for a first ever paint job. 😍😍

Brilliant stuff. I liked the use of the blue and yellow masking tape, it may have been by accident but a nice touch.😊

EPIC! Best channel going. 4k would be the icing on the cake. Keep up the mega work! 👌🏻

Excellent work! You must be so pleased having all this work done. Can't wait for more

Nice work that young man.

my wife said "what on earth is that terrible music?" and then I found her dancing to it in the kitchen - well done fella

Good stuff George. Interesting colour choice...

Another brilliant video George, and great to see such progress on the van. Putting everything back together is always both satisfying and motivating.

Grand old job there 👍 desent set of rims and you'll be flying !

those corner windows turned out great, lot of work though but looks fantastic

Looks great. All it's missing is a big white "Z".

Great as always George! Some cheap ceramic coating will bring your black plastics back to life if you want to do that 👍

Well done. Great work. 👍

The van is looking really really good. Great work! 😃 Boiled linseed oil will make the old plastics look a lot newer. Test it on a hidden section just in case you don't like how it will look.
