I don’t post comments a lot, but FINALLY!! I’ve been waiting so long for this! Thank you that you are finally going to start on the SL55 again! The reason that I subscribed to this channel!
Same here, I nearly I unsubbed 🙁
I even just ignored all tavarish feed for months
Don't get me wrong, I like a Lambo but will never own one so wasn't invested at all.
Same here! Although Italian car projects are fun to watch, in most cases they're irrelevant when we know chances of having those kinds of cars is slim for many YT viewers. SL55 is more accessible and more affordable and mod videos on YT isn't overdone like say Supra.
Ditto
I just want to see the manual swap pulled off to evaluate suitability for a future project of mine.
He's got you hooked with a battery change 😂 think the manual swp will be done in the next 6 months?
This is what made me find your channel! I was obsessed with the SL55 years back. I found it funny when people was wondering where other more recent projects were and I was still waiting on the SL55.
Same here
How much did he pay?
@@julesf6307 if you watched the video you wouldve noticed he said 8900$
@@sesto194 lol it was actually a running joke when he bought it. Well, thanks for that very accurate information anyway
@@julesf6307 welp, my bad then. Pardon me
That moment you realize you've been watching Tavaris ever since he had under 100k subs
That moment you realize you've been following Tavarish since he wrote a Jalopnik article about 1j swapping his sc300
@@bodhim4353 that moment you realize you've been following tavarish back when he had the screen name apidaonline and wrote on oppositelock
This is where my journey began with Tavarish. I can clearly remember the episode starting with SL in the driveway...instant subscriber and fan ever since
Maintenance Monday
Tuneup Tuesday
Wrenching Wednesday
Tinker Thursday
Fixin' Friday
Spanner Saturday
Sunday is a day off
We've got several of the same listed... Seen yours after I had commented.
“Sleeping Sunday”
No such thing as an off day when you're a petrol head. Maybe Sunday's he can look for all those missing 10mm sockets.... "10mm Sunday Search"... Ha ha ha. Digging the names though.
Ummmm NO. it's "Send it Sunday" I want to see some of these actually being used for once lol
TheLaXandro you already quoted my idea! Gotta be the title
Didn’t know I was an og I feel special now
i can't believe he's actually getting to it
Ikr 😂😂
I remember when this was a new thing lol and then put aside lol
Same lol I seem to remember it along with his mr2 build
Made me almost cry
New series name, "Let's finish this!" : )
No
or finish anything
No hate but you must not have a project car... You're never fully done with a project car lol
@@jsquir1258 yeah usually if you have a project car you might work on one or two others waiting on parts but this guy just stops and fills up an entire garage never finishing one
@@Pwn3dbyth3n00b 😂 its true i cant deny it but i truly enjoy his content anyways. I learn a lot from jared
Finally, Tavarish HAS COME BACK to the SL55 AMG swap.
Well, not really. Today's episode is "I'm having second thoughts about the manual swap. But we can still make it pretty :) ".
there was no way he was ever going to finish this, there's a reason he would have been "world's first" if he had pulled it off
If you smelllllllalalalala!
What Tavarish......... is swapping!
@@Stranglethroat, nothing. He's swapping nothing. 🤦🏽♂️
@@user-od9iz9cv1w I've been waiting for the manual swap.
4:14 that's an easy fix, remove the switches and clean the built up rust under it. I had a similar problem in my E class. Water tends to get easily accumulate under the switches
Only the OG's will remember the "$8900" meme
"Jeden Tag schrauben" would be the correct German translation for "wrench everyday" 😉
"the Mercedes section of my garage" I have a Nissan section, a Toro section a Schwinn section,and a rake shovel broom section,I'm good
winning
SL55 makes you an OG? Sheeeeeet... I've been here since reading Art of the Flip.
7:50 there is an auxiliary battery near the passenger side under glove box.
Yup 👌
3 batteries? Madness!
@@jeremyreynolds4 Madness? THIS. IS. GERMAN ENGINEERING
The new series should be called: “I’m gonna finish my 300zx... tomorrow.”
Mr. Mango lmfaoooo
Isn’t that on the other channel?
@@ThatGUYILL Same shit, different channel.
😂
How about you actually FIX some of your cars instead of yet another vlog where you just talk ( dream) about working on them. Its clear you need to just do an advice channel like Scotty Kilmer because you clearly are incapable of "wrenching every day like Goozquad, Samcrac, Emelia Hartford, or DIY Garage etc. Stick to running your mouth about pointless statistics and facts thats your real specialty!!
"Schraubenschlüssel jeden tag" im dying. For everyone wondering Schraubenschlüssel is the translation für THE wrench not TO wrench. It literally translated means "Screw-key". Correct german translation for wrench every day would be Schraub jeden tag or Jeden Tag schrauben.
Google Übersetzer lässt grüßen :D
For those wondering, the German in the intro translates to wrench every day
I was wondering what that said...thank you for your translation!
Clever idea because this video was all about Mercedes
In broken german yeah 💀
Get this comment to the top I know everyone is wondering the same thing
So many people are waiting for it even though it wouldn't even be that exciting lol
Im a OG and finally he's getting to his Mercedes 😂
Im so OG, i remember when you were still up north having to work on the truck activation switches outside in your driveway on your mercedes
Tavarish (while power steering pump is screaming like its about to die): "This car needs body work..."
actschp1 thats the supercharger i think
It sounds just normal. I have a new pump in mine SL55. And the pump is build toghether with the ABC system. It should sound like this when you start the engine. So, just normal!
@@danielbentley6000 if that's the supercharger, it's the most whiny supercharger I've ever heard. I guess it could be though.
Exactly the same on my SL55. Concerned me too when I started looking at these cars.
@ Asllan Muqaj ... it’s not just the Supercharger but also the air pumps that whine like this on start up.
A lot of German V8s sound like this on cold start up.
I'm og. Your reason I started my channel and reason I bought my first s500 w220. Now I have 9 cars and 6 Mercedes. With more on the way. Thank you and love all your content
wrench every day = Schrauben jeden Tag (not "Schraubenschlüssel jeden Tag") xD
probably shouldn't even try to translate it, sounds weird either way you put it...
,, jeden Tag schrauben" just to be correct. 🤓
Schraube jeden Tag is correct - it is the imperative. Jeden Tag schrauben is not strictly an imperative.
Gehtdich Nixan Genau
@@Dopesch If one would translate what he actually says, when he says that sentence, i'd translate it to "Schraubt jeden Tag!"
I’ve had a 2003 SL500 before and it constantly had issues- hydrolics, batteries, top issues, vacuum lines, etc. I worked on it all the time and got fed up with it and sold it. I recently picked up a super clean one owner 2007 E550 with essentially the same engine but this thing is super clean. Ive just added quad tips, rear diffuser, carbon fiber spoiler, and front carbon fiber lip. I’m an next installing carbon fiber side skirts. Also took your advice and installed the Seicane stereo with Apple CarPlay to bring it up to today’s generation. The car is super awesome. My daily driver is my company leased Maserati Ghibli and ive put 35k miles on it in 2 years and so far it has needed 2 oil changes, brakes and tires. I love it. It goes back at the end of the year and I am buying my gift to myself an Audi R8 for my 50th this year!! Your channel is an inspiration and I try to watch your content weekly during workouts! Keep Wrenching!!
man, i really love the rear of this SL, such a beautiful car
Fun fact The reason why the alarm still sounds when battery removed because alarm speaker contains own battery inside
Damn Germans think of everything.
only 5 million more projects left to cover Freddy!!!
I'm proud of you 🙂
Wait, only 5 million? Man time flys...
Finally!!! I've been waiting for this project! I'm happy it's finally going to happen. Whichever way you go this swap is going to be really cool.
Hey T!! Your channel rocks buddy. Your genuine reactions to your projects are what give your channel it identity. I will always keep watching.
Finally he talks about his SL 55 AMG
Mmmm.. I'm detecting a collab with Legit Street Cars? 🤔 You know Mercedes theme..
It's b is for build.
@@jinarokabue1507 yup
@@kungfusing1 but then we wouldn't be in the comments generating hype...
I think its possibly with Sam Crac, I saw a Soarer in the background of one of his videos and someone on Instagram spotted one under a cover on one of the new Bendpak lifts.
Glad to see the SL55 getting some love again! 😃
So happy to see you back to the SL55 project. Its reminding me the reason why i subscribed your channel long ago because I bought my SL55 at that time. I'm still driving it. Keep up your good works and wrench it everyday.
I'm currently rebuilding my entire engine on my CLS55 AMG, so you working on the SL55 is such an awesome video for me!
Finally!! The reason why I subscribed in the first place
Maintenance Monday
Tune-Up Tuesday
Wrench-It Wednesday
Throw Down Thursday
Fix-it Friday
Was waiting for this video for a long time... Glad you brought it back!!!
God damn I'm happy to see this! Been waiting for actual years!
Omg omg omg oh my fucking god YES. Ive been waiting for this for two years now
Love these "garage-update" video's and love the fact that you and Jared teamed-up! Great job, keep it up!
Finally! Been waiting forever for this update! Love this car, with manual will be awesome!
This sounds really strange but I was looking online and the window issue might need a software update from Mercedes.
Modern cars are weird. Instead of the button closing the connection and running the moter you press it and it tells a brain box in the car to run the moter. Its built in obsolescence. Like my dads gauge cluster in his 04 explorer sport trac when you remove the gauge cluster the alternator doesnt charge. Companies dont want tge cars to last too long or you wont need to buy a new one.
It’s a Mercedes nothing is simple, I found this the hard way believe me
top of my list on this channel... can't wait to see this!!!!
I'll look forward to this. In these 2 years I've learned to drive, had a few cars, learned basic engines and bought my own wee SLK in Scotland to sort out. Time flies :D
I love learning about things like this on your channel ! Thanks from UK
I've waited so long for the sl. Can't wait! Also make the title "I'm the warranty Wednesdays"
"Shut up and Wrench 🔧"
Same thing I wanted to say but you said it better than I could.
7:20 dat face tho, when your car does something unexpected: , that whole bit about the alarm is hilarious and I LOVE the elevator music between transitions!! makes me laugh
Sick manual is how they should’ve come from the factory
Who remembers when he went to I think it was Germany to see the manual transmission that the one company made for him
Neal Borad i believe it was some Eastern European country...
It was Hungary
Yeah those guys seemed so confident about it, even though the shop looked like a mobsters scrapyard.
@@fulcrumovt it was Hungary at Oliver Ámon's junkyard. They make manual swaps for Mercedes cars.
Bro its th og fan base this car brought
TUNE EM UP TUESDAYS..,..I HAVE LIKED THE SL SINCE YOU GOT IT.
b bab good thing it’s Wednesday!
@@Tomekkplk Thursday now lmao. At least for me anyway
Interrupted all my work to watch this 😍😍 been waiting for this project for years!!!! I remember you driving it from NJ to FL many years back :)
3 years later and still waiting on this project
7:14 is a relatable moment, i've been hearing those benz sirens for years lmao
Made me think my BMW's alarm was going off for a second until I realized it was in the video lol.
Thank you for finally coming back to this
Literally been waiting on this for years, please don't let us down
I have been waiting years for this exact moment :) the journey to now has been amazing and well worth the wait.
Since New Jersey! Bro you blew up, keep it up love your drive.
Please do a facelift conversion on the s class like so he can see
Good to see your back on the SL, keep us up to date as I am working on mine. We done.
Finally the SL55 MANUAL SWAP! I found your channel when I used to own a CLS55, a CLS55 Manual swapped is now my dream car.
Now this is getting exciting!
Finally!!! This car was the reason I subbed to the channel
I actually only found this channel because I was looking for videos of manual transmission swaps and saw your SL55 video. Incidentally, it's also how I discovered B is for Build (The Mustang vs G35 build off) but didn't actually watch a video until his BRZ 2JZ swap. That was like 3 years ago now. I think you still had around 250k subs back then and were building out of your garage. Much has changed for both of you guys. I look forward to the new collab
3 years ago I had like 30k subs
Bro I've been a subscriber so long I remember also getting Sumitomo tires just because you put them on this car!
you can call the new Mercedes series "ME and Alex from Legit Street Cars" 💪
Mercedes: We’re a “Hybrid” car because we require a million batteries to function.
New series name: “Work on Wednesday” “Today is work on Wednesday and we will be working on ....” Also Hoovie comes into the CarMax I work at!😂
Like for maintenance Monday
So when jared dump’s theirs a lot of shock to the system 😂😂
Love to see you working on your old project getting things done on your backlog :D great work again !
nice to see the SL coming back! those were actually the videos that got me interested in your channel!
And now its abandoned again :D
YESSSSSS FINALLYYYY
I can wait to see this project complete! It would be awesome to see a manual SL55 AMG.
I have an SL500 (2004). Couple of things that might help you. The front battery only does the start and ignition, it’s rare to have a problem. It eats the rear battery so I have an external charge point. It goes through a fuse in case somebody thinks it funny to short it out.
It’s a problem with a lot of mercs that the pumps fail. This is mainly due to water in the boot. Drill a few 1/8 holes under the pump to stop any moisture build up.
what ever happened to sl55 with the manual transmissions swop
Hii from malaysia🥰🇲🇾
Great to see the video's are back in numbers as we have missed them lately. Keep up the great work.
Finally! Waited so long for you to finish the SL55 I stopped asking about it.
I like “Maintenance Monday”
Wow, I feel old.😂 Can’t believe that the SL55 is technically an ‘OG’ project...🥺 I was here when he started to work on the S500.
Super stoked you're getting around to the SL manual swap.. I seriously think about it almost every time I watch your videos
LMFAO!!!! The captions said " Hi my name is Delores..." too funny
*YESS*
Ive finished watching the sl55 videos about 2 weeks ago and I've been waiting for this
Bloody hell about time this projects stared mate, we been waiting and waiting 😋😋.
Hey I like the new series!
Name it: A star is born 😂
Little bug removal tip. Put fabric softener sheets in a spray bottle with water. Let sit for a while. Spray on bugs on paint and scrub with dry fabric softener sheets. Works amazing for bug removal with out destroying paint
I had an Sl55 amg and loved it! This I really want to see. Manual conversion will be nuts 🥜
YAY! Finally get to see it put in!!!
About bloody time! The SL is what brought me here!
I'm in tears. I've been waiting for this for years.
Finally, one of the most anticipated builds!!!!!!!!!
As a previous MB owner - the Alarm siren has it's own battery... in time that battery in the siren will fail and leak it's acid all over the circuit board and cause other "quirks and features" with the car - such as the beloved "I won't allow you to turn off your blinking lights till the main battery dies" feature.
I remember when you went and got the whole trans setup. That guy was total race car and looking at everything it is a race setup and not the weekend warrior road king that you want. Glad to see the projects coming back from the dead.
Im glad Tavarish is finally getting time to catch up on some old projects
I have been waited for long to see you can work on this SL55. I subscibed your channel because of this car and I am still drving my SL55.
So happy to see the SL55 back.
I have one and love it
Done the coilovers swap.
Just FYI you can get a module from strut master to turn off the light.
So many projects on the go at once, easy to take things apart it's remembering how they fit together. Or worst still losing bits. Idea for the title " I will get around to it". Seems apt lol !!!!
Really happy that the SL is back. I became a viewer because of that car! Good luck with the swap! 😄
I changed my LAST Mercedes battery a while ago on my GL350 BT. Its under the passenger seat, never, never again. Love to see work on the MB's
You have come a long way in a short time mate.. been watching from the beginning 👍🏼
