I've lost track on how long ago i've seen the first video on this build, but even at a dead slow pace, your narrative, music choice and stop motion style are always a pleasure to watch

All additional content, delayed videos, extra time watching your expertise is always greatly appreciated. Thank you, as always, for sharing… and for enriching the world you touch.

Thanks for making my day a bit brighter! I was feeling down and then Soup entered! 👍🏼🇸🇪

I like when the punch keep pace with the music! Then green is my favorite color. I would paint the stainless parts black, but I trust your judgment. Thanks for another great video and greetings from Sweden! 👍

OMG, SO ! happy to see this one move along.. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is ART !!

Irish Racing Green. Feckin luv it

Ship of Theseus reference on a car build! Smarts on top of dedication; greatness is made of these.

The zero in place of 'O' in the poster has triggered my OCD 😧

Lightened by nature…. Chapman will be (sort of) smiling….

Here is the ironic thing: i am watching you finish a long overdue project, while my motorcycle sits in pieces in my garage. Its probably cursing you right now

City Spares, a blast from the past, used to live there in the eighties 😊

Your choice of green is very pleasing. What is even more pleasing is that you didn't select a colour from the 'monochromtic car world' that we now inhabit - or as some say - a colour from the 'German rainbow' that consists of: white, silver, black or (150 shades of) grey.

Des années que je vous regarde, sans jamais comprendre ce que vous dites et pourtant j'adore votre travail. Images toujours superbe, projets intéressants et super montage. La musique de cette épisode est tres bien choisi. Le bonjour de Granville en Normandie

Mate, it is so nice to see that you shifted to second and pressing the skinny pedal. And thank you for sharing your journey with us. Always entertaining 👍👍👍

What an episode, I enjoyed this so much and I love the artwork of the car in green. It looks perfect.

OMG I have a Holden Commodore in Aus and it has factory 'martini green' from 2004!!!! It is an iridescent colour here so not identical but your colour with yellow accessories would look very Lotus! I absolutely love your work and production. Cheers

Gold fits good to green too !!!

Using nature, like the hollow yet structured bones of avian variety, helped aeronautical engineers lighten aircraft. You, sir are working smart and making beautiful things.

hammering in time with the beat! genius editing

The colour actually really reminds me of Ireland! Suits you nicely! :)

I'd enjoy looking at the arms as they are now for a while, then paint them black before final assembly!

Great episode George, the effort is amazing the results are stunning. Glad you can bolt stuff back together!

Keep chipping away, you're getting there! Love the magic drill sequence!

What a way to kick off the weekend. Thanks pal

I, like everyone else I’m sure, drop everything at the sight of you’re uploads to watch!

Nice horn accompaniment in the spray booth. Thanks.

Lovely and very suitable color 👌🏽

Love the Martini green.

🕺I'm here for the synchronized hammer blows.

LOVE the color choice!!!!

Love your videos, lovely choice of colour. 💚

Just keep on keeping on George, we're with you all the way. I think that everyone appreciates the supreme effort that goes into making these videos. Restoring a classic Lotus alone would finish off the best of us Oh and awesome colour choice BTW!

oh yeah, meant to add the "green" (gremlin) is awesome - great choice!

The in-motion-stop-motion thing you did with drilling the control arm speed holes was superduper cool!

Loving the green, it's going to be amazing

Much awaited, much appreciated looking forward to excellent work as always from you.

You’re very creative. I’m sure you will find a really nice green for the car.

MOST DEFINATELY leave the stainless raw. Not only can you/ does it look awesome/ but it even saves more than 28 Grams...

Love that color!

Nothing happens, everything happens. Love it.

Yes green! Irish green with gold wheels. 👌🏆

08:03 not a critique, but some friendly 'make your life easier' help. Place the spout at the top when you pour (closest the hand holding the container) and you won't wind up with little splashy surprises. Love the videos by the way

Team Green all the way! So good to see this marching towards being done - quietly, carefully but with purpose.

I know she’s not an S1, but I’d still go with white for the 007 vibe. Remember: the sly will love you!

leave the raw stainless if its 316 , love it !!

Nice work! Thanks for the mention at the end 😎

Yours is a garage I would love to visit…your skills and persistence, good on ya! I am working on a 914 and completely get ya re those jobs you thought were going to take a few hours…LOL! Keep at it, we love watching this Lotus come together! And one more thing, while my car is silver….all of my engine tin is bright green!

I would be tempted to use a satin finish polishing mop on those lovely stainless arms. I wish I could weld that neatly too. Another great video👍

Green is Good!

Yay my favorite color!! 😍

George fixing up the original trailing arms yep a smart move ...stainless look awesome but it cant hurt...... my last 2 cents stainless ...i see those trailing arms and I want to paint them black 😉

How about a green wrap? The green would certainly be striking, but it seems a shame for such a careful and loving restoration to permanently diverge so far from the classic factory colour...

Thank you very much

That's the colour! It will look amazing.

Well done, George!

Always a pleasure watching your videos. 👍

When you first started this series I was blown away by the extra time and effort that goes into the production of each episode. You are slightly mad and it is a good thing. Music choices and blipclips are hilarious. Your color choice is magnificent, the weight savings dubious but overall the restoration process and goal are inspiring. You are definitely lucky to have a guiding hand 4:45

Soup is good for you.

That green is spot on - it'll look fabulous.

AMAZINGNES!!!

Wonderful….

I love what you’re doing with the Lotus. Keep it up and don’t quit. You got this! 😃👍🏼

George that colour choice is bang on ..of course black, white, red etc etc but it really gives the esprit some elegance as well... brother posters superb👏👏

I always enjoy your video's.

Great colour choice! 😎

That render looks awesome, It will look even better when you make it real "Green is nice" -Max Cullen (running on empty)

I’m sure you managed to lighten and strengthen that cross-beam at the same time.😎

Just excellent. Composition, lighting, commentary, editing, content. All impressive. Happy to see this build continuing, and that's a nice green. Martini!

These videos are inspiring me to get the work done on my ‘79 S2 as well! So thank you for that. I know I will be revisiting some of these when I run into some confusion on how things go back together. Deepest thanks for adding some quality content to the Esprit space, we don’t have a lot of good stuff here on KZfaq so this series is deeply appreciated.

So, so looking forward to seeing this awesome project being completed. Keep going!

Another finish option for the stainless steel arms - polish them. That would also be the lightest.

Nice George!!!!!

I love your videos. The Lotus Esprit is my favourite car of all time and seeing this meticulous restoration, no matter how long it takes, is truly wonderful. Keep it up!

There's a new energy in your videos, some real poetry too. Loving the old stuff is a good philosophy, there's probably a Japanese word for it. Good to see Ron Swanson made an appearance, made me laugh 👍🇦🇺

Tony in City Spares ,top guy 👍

Looking great, you know I had a neighbor with a Lotus Esprit he had the frame flat black and the suspension gold, looked super, O and I wouldn't be afraid to go even lighter on the green...

great video, not sure about the green, might look good on print out on paper but in reality on the road? IMO: lotus cirrus white.

keep it Bond-white!

I suspect if you listed those posters on your website you would sell enough for a limited edition run.

The green looks great! But the Esprit would probably look great in any color!

Looks best in white and worth more .

Nice speed holes!

Your Lotus is going to look great when it's complete!

Came for the stop motion. Stayed for the outlook on life!

British racing green '.. love it. The holes look very Jules verne , 007 would approve.

I swear that I wished you lived closer because I would gladly give up many evenings and weekends to help you paint. I love painting! All it would cost you is a ride or two and a few pints.

Martini Green looks good 👍

Good color choice! You won't regret it. My wife and I have matching Energy Green cars and it's the best thing we've ever done.

You continue to impress. This will be, by far, way better than any Esprite that came off the production line. Very well done sir! Please keep it up...

Thx for this one George. I love everything about your channel, however we disagree on that green! Keep it up!

9:08 thanks for showing me that song. I abolutely love, just like i do your lotus :D Every time i hear it i think about your channel lol

Ohhh boy we are reaally moving now!!! Give me ✋ George!

Your car begs to be pearl white! It is the quintessential 80's high style luxury car color.

Editing the video so the hammering is in time to the beat

Absolutely love the green!

by pressing the holes the surface area is strengthened and it looks good

Lightened by nature 😂.

Always good when one of your videos pops up George. The colour is certainly divisive. Personally, if you are going to choose a flat colour, for me it would not be green. As someone has said, the metallic blues look good on those cars. The Triumph Stags looked awful in green in my opinion (Dennis Waterman's car in "New Tricks" for example). White or yellow with a good choice of interior contrast maybe.

I still think your Lotus front upper A-arms look like my Fiero's😉 By the way, I called "green" back when you asked. Good choice👍

I looked at thst poster & went, "Roger Moore". Fantastic job, mate. Greetings from Auckland
