THE best and most entertaining stop-motion on KZread.
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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You’ve turned auto builds into an art form. Watching the stop motion is like ASMR for the eyes. Brilliant!!

thanks!
I was quite surprised (positively) to hear the same soundtracks I use for my videos. Good taste involved :d
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!
I Always have to tell myself During the summer ''Be patient wait for winter, Then I can have some soup'' Best of luck.
The Paint looks good George, you did well mate 👍👍👍

It turned out much better than I expected, but as you'll see I didn't get away with it unscathed.

Nobodies perfect mate
9:23 what a great cover!! Who doesn’t love a good brass ensemble.
Another massive lump of much needed motivation.
& that Ladies & Gentlemen, is a genius at work...
You went for the UPS look, Great video.
The stop start reminds me of Tony Harts stuff when I was a kid.
Well done fella, this is the best I've seen 👏
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.
Two videos in 2 weeks? It truly is a Christmas to remember!
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
Cool Beans dude....what a great job you have done to get that o'l girl looking beautiful again!
A box of Quality Street and a new Soup video - perfect! Thank you George, and happy Christmas!

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

Great footage and music....thumbs up !
love the masking tape method for neat sealant application!
I haven’t even finished the film, but I must say that each chapter from this series is just a masterpiece !
AWESOME to see the progress in your special video way! Thanks for Wisconsin USA!
A rare treat...two Soup videos in two weeks! its Christmas indeed!
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!

SERIOUSLY nice work!!
Jeez, that was bloody brilliant !Thanks,George.
Get some wurth bumper dye on the bumpers, will make them nice and black! Great build, awesome channel!
Excellent video -- Thank you for sharing.
Seems like you are spoiling us with uploads so close together....no complaints
It's impossible for me to comprehend the time, skill and patience that went into this.
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 🙂

Always a joy to watch!

Another brilliant video George, and great to see such progress on the van. Putting everything back together is always both satisfying and motivating.
Cracking colour. Get some Boiled linseed oil on those bumpers and it definitely deserves a flat and polish. Keep up the excellent content.
Fantastic, great attention to detail.
Yeah. So satisfying. Looking forward to some more vintage wedge content

Awesome !!! SO impressed with your persistence !!!!
Epic surfshack on wheels, George. That'll take you and friends to distant lands in style!
I ❤ your content. Unique and very personal.
So finally on the road....amazing transformation
Keep going George.....really enjoy watching your videos. Taking on a van that size is a huge task. very rewarding seeing it come together
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.
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!
These videos must take days! Thank you, George!
Excellent work! You must be so pleased having all this work done. Can't wait for more
You were being missed 😁 Thanks for doing this for us. I will watch it later in the night - full screen 👍👍👍
You’re an absolute legend!
Nice work, creative cut and enjoyed the music so much 🙂👍
Delightful and so relaxing to watch. You, sir, are a champion!
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 🎉
Wow! What a lot of work on both the van and the video. Absolutely captivating to watch, well done!
Seemed like the first 12 minutes have a different feel than the rest of the series. All good. Thanks for the exterior details.
GK, these videos just keep getting better. Thanks your an inspiration 🙏
Great work as always George, I do love how well the D2 glass sits in there.
Class! Well done fella!
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!!!
Looks amazing!
Well done. Great work. 👍
That transition at 17:00 is fantastic! 🙂
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
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 :)
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!
I really like the color. Looks great...
Interesting video Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us. 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹
Thanks for the video!
Top notch work as always. Awesome!
Brilliant work as usual. Great video production, and sound design 👍🇦🇺
Incredible, as always!
Good man yerself Soup, I mean George. Keep the vids coming thick and fast, tis the ticket to KZread success!
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
Nice work that young man.
gran turismo menu music ?? close if not been loving this van series tho !
Great video as always thank you very much really enjoyed it
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
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.
Brilliant…love it
I think that I've already seen the glass guy somewhere else on KZread. He's awesome, an absolute pro. :) Btw, it's a great build. Can't wait to see the ultimate surf-wagon finished.
