Video

The gear lever work is stunning, loved the drop in shot at the end , oh and familiar looking s angles on the radiator, excellent as always 😎

Love your videos, that shifter needs a few speed holes

Interesting. I like videos with or without talking. As long as its clean, no profanity.

Cant wait to see more.

you should do this in aluminum

LOVE IT! But surely you had the radiator refurbished?

This is THE BEST VT i have ever seen on so many levels for someone who can not read manuals and cant stand pointless narration, epic edit skills too.

Tidy job you have the place looking fantastic 👌

The radiator is copper. You exposed the solder when you scraped the surface. Aluminium radiators don't have brass tanks. If your trying to save weight, why not remake the rad bracket in aluminium?

I’ve always liked the Esprit, it’s a cool looking car. I had a customer that had one, and he said it was pretty unreliable, After watching your videos, and seeing how they are constructed, they look somewhat fragile compared to most cars over here in North America. I’ve worked on a few E Types, it just a different style of building a car. I do appreciate the dedication and craftsmanship going into rebuilding this car.

Every single one of those grammes counts 😉 Fair play George, the amount of work you've put into filming this project, never mind what work you've already done on the car itself, just brilliant. Looking forward to seeing it gettin fired up, at long last.

Jazz music is exceptional. Care to share?

This was hard precision work. Well done.

Another great video, and I am in awe of your perseverance and skills. I love your plan of lightening the car, and it all adds up, but after all that time, blood, sweat and tears, versus the actual weight saving, is it worth it? I am really looking forward to seeing this beauty finished and seeing the final tally of weight removed.

Ohh dang first start coming soon!!!!

CZcams Awards for best production... The Winner Soup Classic Motoring. Easy

Magic

Pop up headlights, the single best design feature of the automobile ever..

This was a good one, with stop-motion and normal work in a good amount of balance.

Quality content as ever George. Loving your work.

Simply beautiful !!!

Πολυ καλη δουλεια ΜΠΡΑΒΟ

Great job. I had to explain the speed holes to my wife. She grudgingly accepted the concept.

I don't understand doing all that and putting the old radiator back in, but as you said: add lightness. Mission accomplished.

Is that the melody to "Tongue Tied"?

My old Austin Allegro used to also have this self disassembling feature built in,the only thing was it would constantly turn on when you were driving it 😁

Yes More of this please

Ghosto Mod

Soup!

FORZA George!

Good solid progress, video quality as usual superb!

Aaahhhhhhh. Thanks, Mr Soup.

If they don't let the man do a run up Goodwood's Hillclimb THEN THEY BETTER LET THE CAR after all this is said and done.

Fantastic. You add lightness as a mechanic and as a photographer 👍🇦🇺

What is the weight difference between painting and powder coating please ? Any ideas anyone ?

Does anyone have a list of the music used in all of these videos?... I love the songs and want to buy them all.

Thanks for the update, George. Some good progress there! Once the big stuff is done, it's all fidly bits...

I like your ideas and car restoration videos, I suggest you use rust removal materials from Evapo-Rust, as it treats metal, gets rid of rust, and works to improve the metal and give it protection

Soup needs way more followers, share the channel around with all your petrolhead buddies , lets see if we can get him to 500k !!

BRAVO !!!!!! George.

Lovely work as always. But rather than lightening that scabby old radiator mount, could you not replicate it in aluminium? Wonder if it would handle the vibes if rubber mounted. Aware that you have a Tig welder somewhere…

👍

My favorite thing on this channel is the vice bolted to the giant block of wood

this is the most underrated car build channel in youtube

Woah now! Where’s the intro? I love the intro music……damn!

Always enjoy your videos: thank you!

Respect

Having followed this build from the start and being a long-time patron; seeing that refurbished gear lever assembly get lowered into the chassis put a huge smile on my face. So happy to be in assembly stage!!

You can sand non structural parts of the fiberglass to 1/2 of their original thickness. Properly done can save up to 35 pounds

All that weight removed then replaced with dust. Now that progress is being made that heavy dust will soon be blown off. So glad to see it moving on again.
