That interior does make it look so much better and the transformation this car has gone thru is epic. Hopefully the "Bismerc" stays around for a while.

Amazing - the interior looks fantastic. With a bit of leather filling and re-dye it will be mint !! Love these longer vids where we get to see exactly what work is involved to get to the finished result 🙂

Well done Jack! I fully agree with you, a leather interior really lifts it up, it looks much better than it did. 👍

Leather upholstery looks so much classy , the birds approve :

The leather interior in the Bismerc really has given it some class. A nice upgrade for sure, and by all means the longer vids are great.

Wow What a transformation A no brainer and not a single reason to think cloth would be better. Looks more premium now too

15:05 ..."this glass replacement was a real....pane".... 👏👏👏

It was good to see a bit more of the work that had to be done. The leather interior = much superior!

I had a W124T (manual) when my first child was born with a cloth interior pretty much like yours. Subsequently I have had an S210, S211 and my current S212, all autos and crucially all leather. Kids and cloth seats do not go together, leather looks and feels much more high end. The bismerc looks superb now.

F A N T A S T I C Very beautiful Mercedes

For really cheap you can buy a set of plastic panel pullers and wedges etc and save on using metal screw drivers etc on plastic parts. Looks so much better after the change.

What an upgrade!! You're right - it looks wonderful! You really need to consider keeping this car, as it's quite a special one. Bravo!

That cloth interior looks awesome. Hope someone else puts it’s in their Mercedes. To each their own.

:Love these longer, detailed videos; they make you feel as if you're part of a nice days tinkering. It's the taking things apart and figuring out how to restore stuff that makes it so interesting and your manner of presenting is always fun to watch.

You have taken this car 10,000 miles forward! Definitely a keeper do not decide to sell it unless you are going to give it away to one of your favourite subscribers 😜

Congratulations on the amazing transformation of your Merc Jack!! I hated it when you first bought it but so glad you did, you've given this car a new new life!! It's really a timeless and classy car. Look forward to seeing it with new tail lights and grille etc😊👍

Looks great Jack,half leather should keep everyone happy 😊

My favourite type of content. A before/after transformation and just the right length of video.

I did really like the cloth interior. However, I think the leather looks even better. Good call. Great effort. Well done.

For me definitely was the right car to keep and just gets better and better

Well done Jack it's no fun taking out a car interior as a a car valeting buissness owner I have done it many times to in the past it's seems now people are keeping their cars better here in Ireland but it was always a achievement to have a dirty back to showroom so well done

Thank you! This is amazing. I was looking for this kind of a tutorial for a loooong time! 100% best video on how to take c124 interior apart! I have problems with scratches on rear window on my c124 (facelift model) and now I know how to fix it all thanks to YOU dear sir. Thanks!

Like seeing the work getting done, don't mind the longer video's, 20 mins is probably the longest for most people

Great video, Jack, well done! The new interior really does lift the car. I enjoyed the length of the video and watching the interior come together 👍

You helped me understand how to replace the “triangle” trim piece between the rear side windows and the shoulder belt housing! Now I can replace the nasty one on my otherwise very nice C124 Sportline. OctoClassic makes the parts using 3D printing.

I have to confess that I was in the ‘leave the cloth trim in’ camp, but seeing that leather interior, I’m convinced you’ve done the right thing. I’m also really glad that you thoroughly vacced the carpet after removing the seats…failure to do so would have really triggered my OCD!

I like seeing you discovering and dealing with the problems as they arise, as opposed to cutting them out and acting like it was all a piece of cake. The leather is much better!

Amazing job. Looks way way better. Love it

Looks great. Enjoy watching your videos seeing you just work things out.

Looks amazing - a massive improvement!

Oh wow! Looks so much better Jack…i was a bit dubious about you changing the cloth as it was very vintage Merc but the leather lifts the lux level matey.

EPIC TRANSFORMATION

Looks so much better. Great video.

Wow! what a transformation indeed!

Great interior transformation👏

Really nice upgrade. Enjoying this series.

Changing the interior is the icing on the cake, looks gorgeous!

Hello Jack. The detailed videos are really useful.

That’s a fantastic transformation. It looks absolutely fantastic. Great work!

That’s the content I like to see on that channel! Great job and what a transformation! Love it 👍

Fabulous! You made it look easy….looks great

I miss my old '89 230E. 4-speed manual and no options whatsoever. But it was mine and I loved it.

Impressive to see the transformation of this car from something the average person would probably steer well clear of to a desirable modern classic.

The leather is looking so much better, nice job

An extreme makeover for sure!

Such a transformation! Great work Jack 👍🏻💪🏻

Much prefer the longer, more involved videos. Absolutely the right decision to go for leather, it looks epic in comparison.

It really changed. Stunning car!

Looks great, Jack,

Superb Work Jack, even better now! Looks Stunning

Fantastic transformation Jack looks great

Well Jack I was that guy saying keep the cloth interior but I was wrong! The leather does suit the stately vibe of the Bismerc , I thought the length of your video was great Jack ……. I’m sure everyone enjoys watching your content so more is always good! Any chance of adding smellavison so we can all have a sniff of the Bismerc’s interior? 😂👍

Big upgrade! The leather indeed really lifts the whole car. Also, I love the longer videos :)

as ever enjoyed the video Jack, love the way you tell it as it is. Loving the Bismerk

Amazing transformation on the Biz-merc! Awesome job!!

massive improvement

that is looking every bit the classy Merc well done!

Looks fab Jack. And really like the longer video. Thanks.

Looks miles better 👌💪👍👍👍👍👍

Looks so much better with leather. The longer episode is good I’m guessing you edited out the hair pulling frustration segments. It’s been a great project I’ve enjoyed following.

Great job Jack, interior looks fab!

Most satisfying!

Very interesting. Great job

Great to see you on the spanners Jack and what an improvement. I really hope you’re going to keep this one.

Much better Jack, concur on your observations on leather versus cloth interiors. Yet another entertaining but informative episode!

Looks superb Jack!

Awesome upgrade Jack! Really bringing the class back in the 'E class '

Great video , as I said before delighted that you decided to keep the 124, a super car which will give you years of pleasure

Massive improvement from when originally purchased this car Well done sir!

Wow, lots of work Jack, well done 👍

Beautifully done! The new leather set suits even more! Gosh I miss my W124 D300. My dad had that for 12 years. In a near future I'm thinking to buy one of this CE for him (and me too 😄😅)

Great job Jack!!! It looks much better, for sure!!

I love the cloth interior so much more than leather; it is so much more Mercedes than leather which seems to come in all cars nowadays. But after your work it looks good now keen to see you fix the cracking in the leather.

That’s really lifted the interior, very posh now 👍

Great vid Jack, your perseverance is definitely paying off, the whole car is such an amazing transformation compared to its original state, you must be proud of the car now. Your vids are perfect lengths and very informative, don't change the formula you got it just right. 👍👍

True - Leather is a must

Interior looks very smart! Nice work! I also enjoyed the longer format with more documentation of the process.

Wow what a transformation the car looks fantastic the color really matches as well. Personally I like the longer videos. Your doing a fantastic job .

Night and day Jack, leather looks awesome.

Nice one Jack Definitely worth all the effort

Excellent buddy. 👍 Definitely looks SO much better with the leather. 😀

Nice work Jack - looks much nicer

Good job - and agree about leather interiors. Top man, Jack. Well played.

Lux for sure, looks great Jack and we'll worth your efforts.

Despite the video being around 5 month's time frame, but the assembly of the interior for leather seats on the Mercedes does make a major difference. 10/10 stars vid!!!

Top job Jack,. Not boring at all, in fact its the exact opposite. The longer the better, really interesting to see in detail how you did it. Thank you

Looks so much better 👍🙂

Quite happy with the longer videos, always interesting to see a 'how to' so don't be afraid to make them more technical 👍👍.

That is truly the biz Merc now…. Love it

Well done! I do love the old Mercedes cloth seats, specially when they're not faded or damaged, but I agree that leather is on another level. Good thing your interior is grey, because those seats in black leather get really toasty in the Summer... The only thing I'd do more on the interior is remove the black wrap that is still on that thin piece of wood trim that runs across the whole dash, just above the steering wheel.

Regarding the scratches in the window glass - there's a chance that something like a ceramic coat will make them distinctly less visible. Worth a go!

Love the Bismerc and well done with the transformation. Personally I love the longer videos... look at what Retropower and Harry's Garage do 😉

Love it! Greetings from Sweden.

Totally lifts the car, fantastic call!

I've always heard good things about the kits from the furniture clinic, they tend to know what colours are correct for each car by brand and age. The leather really has lifted the car, top job! Shame about the glass.

Great job.

I always recommend leather. Ironically I've only had it in one car, till now, in my old 2nd hand 1986 Metro Vanden Plas. Cream leather seats, walnut dash, electric windows, I thought I was the shizz :) All my other cars have had cloth interior until my Ssangyong Tivoli. It's reminded me why I love leather. Definitely makes you feel better and lifts the car to a luxury level.

Felicidades. Ha quedado precioso

Looks lovely 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👍👍

Totally agree with you - and every other commenter: looks like the car you'd want to own! Great vid, mate - and the length is fine - tbh happy to watch for longer when you're fighting a fix... cheers
