I can´t understand why this channel has only 58K subscribers. At my opinion this could easily have 1 Million subs!!!
Greetings from Greece!
Καλημέρα! Και σας ευχαριστώ
I'm subscribing to your channel ashamedly late. Your work is outstanding! This video is taking me back to my electrical training in the aviation world back in the early 00s. I'm continuing to work through your whole catalogue. The Lotus is keeping me rapt with attention, keep up the great work!
Just glad you're here, so thanks for the sub. Hope I didn't disgrace myself with the electrics. Cheers Brian.
I just discovered your channel from a story on Jalopnik, and binge-watched it until now. Fabulous.
Thanks salsagids
Fantastic analogy on the electric system. I have always had a difficult time understanding and describing electricity. My son and I are starting to discuss what car to rebuild together and when we watched this episode he looked at me and said "dad, I understand the concept of electricity better now". Thanks for producing a great video. Cheers!
Amazing thing to hear. Like anything man has done, it's simple if you break it down far enough! Least that's how I trick myself into tackling something bigger than me ;) Thanks for the comment John,
The stop-motion of the wiring loom is like a Jan Svankmajer film
I never know where it is or what it's doing, but it's out there somewhere...
That AC is beautiful as it is. A mechanical overhaul and leave it alone aesthetically would be my choice. They seem to be a little known car of the era but have a beautiful style and bond like quality. Amazing combo between this and the Riva. Lovely garage, great guy, awesome gloves!
George , came for the esprit , but stayed for the no BS nitty gritty resto work good stuff !! my dad always said think of electricity as water . Switches and relays are just types of gates or dams , it will always take the path of least resistance it really simplifys things,
Another brilliant production. Booking my holidays to Greece, going to do a factory tour of that garage and session/lecture in the man cave. My language skills are improving again. Keep up the good work.
Bring a bottle Paul ;) See you soon.
Another top quality video. It has the feel of a TV programme which is testament to your production and editing skills. I liked how you got Anna Lisa to give us the correct pronunciation of Michelotti.
Thanks mate. I was intrigued by Bertone because so many people pronounce Bertoni. We also discussed Bugatti which is a grey area with Ettore Bugatti being Italian but the cars being considered French. Regardless for the sake of his memory the Italian way would be something like "Boo-gah-ti".
Just discovered this series, and I have to say, I love seeing the work you're putting into these cars! It's so awesome to see the old, rusted bits of the Range Rover get removed and replaced with brand-new panels! Can't wait to see these finished! Keep up the good work!
Can't wait either and trying to stay in the moment too! Thanks for the support :)
Always look forward to a new episode of SOUP and seeing what you've been up to. This has fast become what feels like a really proper series without losing the Man In a Shed intimacy that makes the format work so well. It's also excellent motivation for my own projects, none of which are particularly beautiful or exotic, but which all make me happy in their own way. Do keep up the great work and bringing us some really interesting content and insight into DIY restoration. A humble suggestion for some Zagato content if possible, since the Italian theme is enjoyed, even if it's just a lesson in how to pronounce it correctly.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Angyl, a car's a personal thing. I would love a Zagato bodied Fulvia Sport. I'd really love one. Myself and Anna Lisa discussed Zagato this time around but it fell off the radar unintentionally. WIll def get to it.
Beautiful is in the eye of the beholder certainly, but I don't regard beauty as being the most important aspect of a car. I'm a fan of the ugly, the mishapen, the handsome, the brutalist and the plain old ordinary just as much as I am the exotic and beautiful. In fact, the Fulvia Sport Zagato is not a beautiful car from all angles, the front end is particularly challenging to the conventions of beauty, yet I really do admire the styling and proportions of it. A car, much like anything else, does not have to be beautiful to be appealing.
100%. I meant when we love a car it doesn't matter whether it's conventionally beautiful or not. I love the Fulvia Z because its like the right woman - you feel like you're the only one who gets it. And aren't literally ALL Zagato's challenging. Thats Zagato's bag. I think the Giugiaro Esprit is the same, ok less so than the Zagato, but very very uncompromising.
Cool show George! And I love the stop-motion shots of taking things apart!
Thanks a mill Bram
George, just had to post after hearing the names in your shout out.....thanks for hooking me up to this in Munich. Really enjoying it. S.
That made me laugh... had to watch back to figure out what you meant. Was good to see you again sorry I missed you in Italy.
Dave Jaguar66 led me to your videos and i am addicted and have watched them all twice. Such a high standard. I hope Edd China is seeing these as you could do something together. Thanks to you and Dave for what you do.
Paul Foreman
Dave's a great guy Paul, very knowledgable. I hope to visit his workshop at some stage. Thanks for your kind words!
Amazing work George! As a person who just finished restoring an '89 928S4 alongside restoring a '77 Excalibur Series III, I applaud you!! I know all about having way too many projects and way too little time.. You, my friend, seem to be solving this puzzle. Keep on motivating us all, and keep making progress on a daily basis. I'm looking forward to your continuing success!
Lovely words mate, and diverse car taste too. Thanks and keep it up yourself.
Electric 101 in a style just like this is something I was really looking for, thanks, would be great if you did a follow up to this feature or two
No worries and thanks. Will expand on that asap.
I cant get enough of this show. Respect on making it onto Jalopnik.
Still blown away by the article. Cheers Cill.
Great episode! Love the wiring 101, Lotus and Italian garage sections - great work!
Thanks Joe.
well. I just watched this entire series up to this point in one go after seeing it on Jalopnik. Subscription easily earned. Absolutely fantastic.
Many many thanks mate.
this is the best video ive seen for a very long time
George, Great to see your subs have shot up and not before time, The videos are produced to such a pro standard and the contents are presented in a very one on one and relaxed manner, The offer still stands if you want to come out to Austria for
an exchange of knowledge and perhaps a bit of filming for your channel. Take care David.
Dave I haven't forgotten the generous invitation, it's on the list of must do's as soon as the time is right. You'd better start taking an inventory of your tools now, stuff will go missing if you don't watch me like a hawk ;)
George, I will get the CCTV up and running LOL, Drop me an e-mail anytime on davejaguar66@gmail.com All the best David.
The thing about the cobra is what I do when I get old electronics too. People may say “It works” but I’m not turning it on untill I’ve gone through the insides making sure nothing is damaged or leaking.
It might well be working, but I’m not gonna turn it on and potentially ruin more stuff because some old capacitors decided to explode when I flip the switch.
Discovered your stuff on Pistonheads forum 👌 great stuff just watched all episodes and subscribed
Thanks for dropping the line and the sub!
Just found out about this channel today through Jalopnik. I've watched all of the previous 8 episodes throughout the day, and was both surprised and happy to see that the 9th was just posted! I've subscribed and liked each one so far, keep up the amazing work!
Thanks Brent, I owe Andrew/Jalopnik a beer.
Congratulations on such a great channel. I first saw you a few days ago on Jalopnik and have been diligently watching all of your videos. It's been great. You've given me inspiration to start up my own stalled project. The skills that you bring to the table for video editing are second to none. Keep up the great work!
Thanks David, hearing you're getting back to your project is deadly. Let us know what you've got? I'm trying to get the production quality ever higher. It's tricky in a few areas but hopefully later I'll be able to get some more equipment to raise the stakes. Keep at it yourself!
6pm in Narita (Japan) and I only have an hour before I must get to work.... it doesn't help when I'm trying to watch the episode and I keep getting notifications that SOUP has replied to my comments.....I need to rewind now.... @7:00, thats the 007 mod for the sub-aqua drive setting...don't trim them, you'll just drift with the current!
ping!
That fan bodge was hilarious
I like your little green indicator arrow clicks , very cool 😁
Cheers Rolf. It's the little things that make the difference aye!
Another great episode George. It's amazing, despite it's simplicity, wiring is still the one thing I have a block on when it comes to cars.
No excuses Dave, go buy a simple 12v accessory and wire it to a battery or car as an experiment. You'd be over that block in no time.
I'm completely hooked on your videos now and binge watching to get up to date. Loving all the things that you feature but, as the owner of a VX220, the Lotus is of particular interest. It looks relatively easy to strip the Esprit down but I'd be worried I couldn't put it all back together again.
I've taken one or two photos of the strip down along the way ;) Actually even if I wasn't documenting everything visually, the Esprit is one of those cars with an incredible community of people who have blazed the resto trail before, so there's excellent support out there. Glad you're hooked, next stop world domination. Thanks mate.
Some great work on the Range Rover there George. You should hookup and do something with Ed China - I hear he's looking for a new project or two...
Cheers David! Still a ways to go. Do you think Ed would finish the Vogue for me? :D
Another great episode George keep em coming & that Italian garage is pure class!
Some joint aye Sid, I had a serious attack of the wants.
Hey George, love what you're doing here. Production value is fantastic and you must have endless patience. You must have Postman Pat posters on your bedroom wall such is your love for the animation in the videos. Money well spent by me.
I have a mk2 16v in a rare schwarzblau colour that I'm converting to a 20vt, very common conversion to be honest. I've the car 3 years now and i'm nowhere near completion. Have it stripped now and ready to go off to a welder to for repairs. Donar engine and loom are ready to go so once it's back it's full steam ahead to test fit and run it and then strip again for paint. thinking being that I'll know how it goes back together and less chance of damaging fresh paint on reassemble.
Keep up the good work sir!
Thanks a mill Joshua. My folks had a 20v Golf 4, I always liked the engine. That ended when the timing belt let go less than 1000 miles after having been renewed. No Postman Pat posters :D Check E.02 for my old posters haha. Good luck with the build!
Like many people here now, I found out about your show from Jalopnik and have since watched all 9 episodes. This has to be one of the most intricate, detailed, interesting, and creative car shows I have seen! I appreciate that you keep it clean as well because anyone can make a car show and go on a frustrated swearing rant or inject some dirty humor for a few more likes. I hope that the channel continues to grow because it is worthy of such.
I would only ask for one thing: would you consider subtitling some of the more strongly accented guests? My firm grasp of purely 'murican English does not help me understand everything being said.
Lovely words Matt, thanks a mill. I can't go back and add subtitles without taking the videos down, and editing subtitles would mean labour time I doubt I could eek out. What I'll do is make transcripts for E.08 and E.09 in their respective descriptions for reference. Oh and RE keeping it clean, we all have a little swear at some point or other, but yes, best kept [relatively] decent.
Matt. The TH-cam description box won't accept such long texts so both transcripts [E.08 & E.09 featurettes] are now available for all to download here: www.patreon.com/gtkar
Thank you very much! As is displayed by your show, you sure went above and beyond!
'pleasure Matt!
Another brilliant episode! I have added your channel to the recommended section on my channel home page. Nice to see more people are subscribing.
Thanks a mill! My subscriptions are private but you're in there!
Another absolutely amazing episode George. That garage tho :-D
I'd live there :D
Loving the series George, if I was wearing one my hat would be well and truly doffed ;)
The attention to detail is fantastic (I hate to think how long the filming of some of the stop-motion repair segments takes!)
Definitely kicked me into getting some more done on my multiple projects - 5 and counting so far (yikes!).
Spreading far and wide for you on the various forums I'm on.
Good luck!
Doffing the ghost hat back at you Samuel, cheers mate. Appreciate the sharing, make a difference. Keep on plugging away at the cars!
George Karellas will do. If you ever find yourself in London or SE England feel free to give me a shout.
Have a bunch of SOUP related biz to attend to in the UK Samuel, just trying to make ends meet so I can make it happen, then you're on.
Excellent series!
Cheers Mirth
Excellent work! I blasted through all the episodes and look forward to many more.
I spotted a 67 or so International Travelall in the first visit to the Italian Garage. I own a 68 Travelall and a 1965 International Scout 80. Old iron is the best. Keep up the good work, you make it look easy. I'm subscribed and have shared.
International wasn't on my radar at all (outside of Tractors) until I saw that big green beast. I didn't do a close up of it because I feel like I betraying my Range Rover (2 door) if I play with other utility vehicles :D Thanks for your support Randall!
Crackin show George, keep em comin
What's up old mucker, glad you're still in approval.
+George Karellas if ever you need a hand with the easy stuff gimme a shout 😀
Wow, blown away.....Many thanks George and keep up the great work...
Will get your address over to Valet PRO asap Malcolm, thanks for getting in touch with your story :)
Thanks George, Jed is thrilled to bits (and me too)
Glad, here's to a gleaming Jaguar lads.
Just found your channel and liking it alot. Excellent quality
Thanks P
Sub count is going mad George, well deserved too!
Great write up on Jalopnik James, big boost. That reminds me... must go post on The Lotus Forums!
Fantastic work George!
Cheers John
You have to wonder how the fan blade idea got past the first consideration (presumably followed by silly giggle) to actually cutting holes and having fan blades spinning out the bottom. You wouldn't want to have crawled underneath to check something and have them thermo switch on....
Your Italian section got me wondering about the feasibility of a joint man-shed...must discuss over a few cold ones with a few mates.
Joint man shed is a great idea, and if you're lucky you'll find a place for a song. Good luck with it, make it happen. Oh and I'm sure I've seen the blade done just the same on other Esprits!
You want to hear about scary electrical just ask those guys working on the Jag. If you are able to handle that then other systems are easy.
Love electrical work with every new job :)
0.31 mr Bibendum
In the wild!
I,m in love with Anna Lisa.
All enquiries are to be directed through SOUP Alan 😂
Wiring's scary. By the way where in this video is the delicious AC 428 Frua ?
th-cam.com/video/WiByLpcEEE8/w-d-xo.html
I hope you welded it from both sides ? ;/
Did in the end yep!
La voiture est casse, cait la vie! LMAO, brilliant.
How's my accent? ;)
Oh man that fan bodge... shocking... 😕
What kind of eejit cuts those holes for the fans? :-/
There's either more than one or someone's been doing it as a mater of course because I've seen it on other Esprits matey. Unfortunately classic Lotus cars often get treated far worse than they deserve.
wait a sec what if the big fans out the bottom of the Esprit are actually propellers? For in the water like
ssssssh, classified info 😆
Hello in 2021
lol, hi!
Like Bib, I have a rippled stomach.
My my Anna Lisa
stop it!
Couldn't find your email address. My dad has restored several Lotus, including the same vintage Esprit, and would love to get in contact and share some info with you.
Hi Melanie, thanks for touching base. Click on my name, then look for 'About', it's in there. Looking forward to hearing from your dad!
All you need is one viral...
Have something in mind, but time is the one thing I do have. Kinda.
Please can Annalisa be in every episode
Soon as Soup moves to Italy ;)
They cut holes in the under tray as well as the boot floor and chassis!? What butchers! Another job for you to do.
Wait 'til you see the rest of the handy work uncovered ;)
@@soupclassicmotoring Looking forward to it. I'm catching up on the episodes, at number 14 at the moment, trying to squeeze half an hour everyday to watch your channel. ;)
@@ProjectSupercar Legend mate thanks for watching. Hey wait a minute, did you just skip to 36? ☝🏼😠
@@soupclassicmotoring Lol, it does look like that doesn’t it. I think the first episode I watched was 18; it was suggested by TH-cam, (it looks like the algorithm TH-cam gods like your channel, but not mine :( ) anyway, because I love Esprit’s I clicked on it.
And that led me to episode 11, at that point I subscribed and started at number 1. Then I got a notification that episode 36 was just up loaded, so I watched that.
Yeah, bit of a mix up, but I’ll catch up very soon and be all updated lol, just watched 13 yesterday, which brought back memories of my old Mk4 (I might have to dig out an old photo of me at 16, when I bought it, lol). I’ve got episode 14 and 15 all set up in my watch later list for this evening ;).
Are you using a gassless mig ? you do no galvanised steel is toxic , I was a panel beater for 35 years had to give it up as paint and welding fumes sent my immune system haywire and started attacking my kidneys , now on transplant list .
Yes its gasless. Thanks for the tip on galvanised steel. I haven't used any so ok for now but there's a lot of fumes from the gasless mig and I'd already decided to start wearing a respirator when welding. Fingers crossed for that transplant :)
