Never mind comments about bad music or those who question your methods. I think this build is looking great so far. The only snarky thing I could think to say was there's so much stop-motion video that I half expected to hear Peter Gabriel's voice at times. Seriously, though, that's a neat feature that I don't see in any other YT channels but yours. Greetings from Arizona, USA.

I love the stop animation - it gives the impression that the van does all the work for you. 😅

There's a lot of content similar to this but yours has got to be in the top 1%. The story telling, pacing, stop motion aspects, the myriad of skills on display and the philosophy of upcycling / reuse all combine to make a truly amazing series that nobody else can emulate. Thank you for your hard work! These video strike a perfect balance of relaxing, entertaining informative and inspiring.

I awoke this morning with a burning desire to be astonished and amazed. Fortunately, one of your videos came along.

My OCD satisfaction moment when you primed the floor before putting the subfloor 😂 I was like “YESSSSSSS” 😂

It’s amazing to have the Invisible Man as your workmate. 😂 And he’s a skilled welder at that.😂

"last time was quite a while ago" indeed it was and we all be waiting. Another 20 mins of absolute pleasure.🤩

10/10 for originality! I've not seen this stop motion approach to van build vids... I can only admire and appreciate the amount of effort and time that must add - well done sir!

stop motion welding was probably the hardest to do

Please keep safe and put the angle grinder guard back on and wear a full face shield. Love your content George, we don't want to see you get hurt!

Wow.Such dedication.!!!The Upper Windows are Superb...As if they were a standard factory fitting....Wonderful.Thanks for the film.!! Well Done ...Pat yourself on your back.!!!!!

I love the stop motion, it's like watching 'vision on' again😊

The stop motion and attention to detail are superb 🤙

I don't know how much work is involved in the making of the stop motion bits bit they are very enjoyable to watch.

"A slight mishap indoors..." Well... that's one way of putting it!

Came for the build, subscribed for the motion. That funk jam that was playing while you were removing the panels 9:36 was excessively funky. You didn’t have to go that hard. I had to watch that part twice.

😂 If you can't take the funk...

I was so damn giddy to so Soup pop on my notifications. The van is looking great, and I can't wait to see the next chapter in this build.

I watch a lot of these vanlife videos, and they all sort of run together. But I loved this one. The stop action animation is great, and super creative.

Your stop motion is very satisfying. Ray Harryhausen would be proud!

WTF is this production value man, the stop motion is crazy (with welding even?). Thats way too much quality for a timelaps, I love it.

Love the stop frame! It’s like a ghost is magically doing all the work for you lol

I really enjoy how you compile your videos, very enjoyable. Thanks

Bro you are one patient man love your creativity not only in the build but the making of your video using stop motion no one has done that at least haven’t seen it anyone else use it. Look forward to the next video and the final product

That stop motion is DOPE!…🔥🔥🔥 I can only imagine how much additional work it tooK. Stepping up the game to another level!…👍👍👍

Your stop motion film making is brilliant - the welding shots were spectacular!!!

Ultimate video! No bright light while welding, making it great to follow. Well done! Never seen something like it.

Non seulement vous travaillez très très bien, mais en plus vos montages vidéos sont digne des plus grands réalisateurs Dommage que j’ai peu de bases et de compréhension en anglais ☺️👌 Bravo

Love your work! Especially editing. Fabulous. Cheers from Indiana.

This is awesome , this just tickles the dad fix it spots 😂 , now back fixing my garage disposal

Those overhead stop-motion are awesome 😎 keep it up, nice build!

Wish I could give more than one like for these videos. Loving them all great work. Thanks for posting. 👍👍

Your videos are just great love them , always gives me a smile when new one pops up , thank you

Fantastic job mate! Been waiting for this upload want to build one of these myself last 5 years but Lockdowns aswell as a devastating flood like you precented thus far! STILL haven't managed to sorted house yet 3&1/2 years later, as insurance screwed me over/didnt pay out! So living in shite and vicariously watching your build for now! Lol 🤦🏻 Great job giving me some unique ideas and inspiration I haven't seen on other builds! Your work is top-notch & on a budget, which is my idea! Looking forward to the next one! Cheers from London 👍

Wow, haven’t seen you since the Range Rover rebuild. Still doing the stop motion. You must have the patience of several saints. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see this one finished.

Fantastic job and I like the colours too. Greetings from Sweden 😀

Love the added lightness 😅 in all those bars :-)

The work it all takes is already staggering, but your stop motion must make it even more work. It does make it extremely satisfying to watch, though! You are raising the bar for other content creators 😉

its why I can't upload every week, or even fortnight.... so nice to look at, but no so much for business 🤷🏻‍♂️

So nice that you gave the price, thank you...also for the video! Beautiful product!

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

It's sad there is only one "like" button but this, was what the You-of-the-tube meant to show the masses! Great work as usual.

Nice floor! Absolutely necessary for the rest of the build. And always worth the wait, quality over quantity.

I really hope you acoustically insulate the panels! It makes an enormous difference when on the road. I'm surprised you didn't insulate or acoustically insulate the floor. Looking forward to seeing this on the road next summer! If I see it I'll give ya a big flash from my defender camper

Put a lotta heavy black adhesive (they call it "heavy foam" despite being nothing like foam in Germany) pieces all over my Sprintler-panels when re-building the insides, and it made the thing as quiet as a luxury car. Wood sub-floor laid on thin Armaflex stripes, no through bolts, and wood-frames carrying dampened dibond panels for sides and ceiling were mounted with rubber-metal blocks. That way no body-sounds were put through to the inside, and rattling cutlery was the only annoying sound that was disturbing the 2.9 litre turbo-diesel experience when under way.🦻👂😄 Had to sell it recently however due to raging irrational idiots spreading diesel-phobia in my nook of the woods.

So happy that you’re back. Missed the quality content that you always deliver. Have a nice weekend.

Simply the best guy at producing and editing a video on KZread. He's not bad with his hands at everything else he sets out to do either, working on cars or converting a van into a day camper.

Awesome editing, thank you for all your hard work

Class idea with the passenger seat tracks.. You've helped me out something fierce with that one.. Cheers good sir (Nice touch with the stop motion btw..)

Thoroughly enjoyed your stop animation style of a van build

Just happy you’re alive! Was getting worried! Great video as always.

Far out. What an incredible video & conversion. Well done.

Cracking job George well done think the van will be a great family bus John

One of the cleverest videos I have ever seen.

Excellent videographer. Nice van build as well

Hey the stop motion was really cool, haven’t seen it before thanks for the idea 👍✊

I like the stop-motion animation. Good Job and a nice build.

Invisible welder man, I like it. It should be that easy.

The stop motion is pure perfection.

Love the stop motion… you made a really enjoyable video… even more so 😂

I've heard of invisible mending but invisible welder no ! Nice job as usual.

something about that nail tool taking 2 swings of the hammer is oddly satisfying

I like your Land Rover corner windows you installed in this van.

Fam your editing is top notch. Cheers from the 🇺🇸

I just found your channel and am absolutely blown away by your relaxing editing style. Amazing to watch you work!

I love how you videoed this, very cool and a fresh approach!

Awesome! I really like the style of your video and I am very curious to see next episode(s)!

Really starting to come together there, George! I see the thermal insulation & sound dampening materials there at the end to go in 'soon'. They'll be an essential!

Did you change your handle!? Yeah I had acoustic underlay for the floor but decided against it, the floor is 40mm thick already. There’ll be loads of insulation and deadening material everywhere else… and bulkheads ;)

@@soupclassicmotoring Ah, yes. That would be the Great KZread Namechange! I didn't so much change it, as not tell them to not change it... (Or change it back.) Don't want to loose _too_ much height with the good floor!

That’s some welding there Patrick 👍🏻

You can use the frame from the seat and make an adjustable table. Very convenient for the long journeys ;)

Fantastic video George. Great to see you back. It was well worth the wait. Loved the soundtrack too.

The Engineering and Measuring on all those holes in the floor for the channel Brilliant! As ever Your Stop Motion is worthy of Awards and boy have I tried to get you nominated. Seeing this will push me to Phone bash and email again..

Really enjoyed your video editing, totally professional & humorous too! Just come across your channel, will follow you from now on.

I love this series ! The Lotus too :) Thanks for the hard work and excellent production.

Another great video, good work with both the video work and the van

You are alive!!! Finally, keep up the good work.

I love your time lapse work

you guy have hit the sweet spot of tiny home on wheel design ❤

Yes, you are on board again... 🎉 great work, and vídeo...

This series and channel is a joy to tag along to, I'm glad I found it. Mostly because I just bought the exact same van, and I'm at the exact same stage. this feels like a race..

What a job George!!!!😮

Guy is a pro at editing himself out of the vdo

your editing is a joy to watch! subscribed

Always look forward to your videos George! Loved this one, top work on the floor!

Jack of all trades this guy never ceases to amaze me 💪😎

Really nice idea...the roofwindows from Landrover

This is mesmerizing. Incredible work!!! And what a job!❤❤❤

Just love how you film/edit this. Where you remove the person and the tools and just show the pieces coming together. Also love the concept of up cycling and reusing as much as possible. No doubt it takes extra time, effort and skill. But love the "sows ear into a purse" concept. Can't wait to see how this develops!

Awesome Love the editing

I'm quite jealous of the supply of parts. I need some odd parts for my Peugeot Expert project - for example, gearbox mounting bracket to replace the rotten-through one, but everyone I've contacted either hasn't replied, or only has lights/mirrors/engines/gearboxes etc on the shelf and the rest of the van has gone for scrap.

Pauls a top bloke. Helped me out many a time. 🙏

George! Great to see you still at it, that's going to be a lovely get-away machine. Great appreciation for your artistic sensibilities. Cheers

Hey !! That expensive anti static foam cleaner for electronics is THE best interior cleaner for filth and grime. It’s really amazing stuff. I genuinely recommend you get a can. It foams up on contact as is awesome. They use it in electrical repair shops.

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your video posts! Just fantastic! I know it is a ton of work so truly thank you for doing all of this! A fan from Nova Scotia Canada.

Remarkable presentation as usual. I can imagine the effort that goes into producing such interesting videos

Thank you Sir.

Nice to see the update, good work 👍🏻

Glad to see you back.

Completely made my day to find this. Cheers!

Ah, the boy's been busy! The camper is shaping up nicely, the videography a visual treat as always, nice one George! But flooding the house just so you could scavenge some board seems a bit extreme though, 😁. Those seats and windows were a great find, they look to be a nice fit. Neat work reinforcing the panels and then removing the supports, got some decent light coming in now. Looking forward to the next instalment. 😎👍

Love the animation filming.

OMFG your back! Amazing as ever, not sure every video needs to be a masterpiece, but I'll watch whatever you create.

Well done on such a great video. A brilliantly executed project.
