noooo supergramps! but the new version is sooo good!
screw you guys for making me cry over a Subaru, amazing ep
Nice But at least it's still part of the MCM family guys. Turbo Yoda is still MCM OG.
🖖⭕️♻️👍
I'm not bloody cryin'...YOU'RE bloody cryin'!
Seriously...sad to see SuperGramps go, but great to see where he went! The way the boy's face lit when Marty told him he was going to be learning to drive in that car!
Thank you for the full ride with this car and the extended 'family'! MCM brought me to The Skid Factory.
Never thought I'd see the day. I thought for sure this was a forever car for Marty
Welllll, we did watch him build a modern replacement..
Just my thought, really, I kinda figured he was *the* forever car for Marty, actually, but still in the family and all, so that's cool. It's sure a storied car to start with, though. :)
Same 😢
My family wagon of 5 years and 3 rebuilds has just been passed onto my kid. That's a forever family car, been through way too much with it
@@edwardfletcher7790 exactly that. They built the grovel, which was for all intents and purposes another supergramps
"Your dads talents are the reason this car exists" crazy to think how little Marty and Moog knew back when this was being built now compared to all they have done and learned and i think a huge part of that was thanks to Turbo Yoda and being a great teacher and mentor.
"Your Dad's talents are the reason you exist."
@@dr.mantistoboggan4746 Very talented man.
Mr turbo yoda do you recon this will fit in my honda
This episode is A+ storytelling.
The "Oh, it is not over, we are only just getting started" at the end... lets GOOOOOO
Flat 6 rx7 hmmm
MCM is so unbelievably good. 10+ years of incredible content.
I discovered and started following these two and their mates right around 2012. And I don't plan on changing that! I just hope they come to the states (Georgia) some time soon!
facts
Where is the incredible content in the last 7 years?
I spotted Moog this morning when getting a rego inspection. I nodded politely and he nodded back, no hesitation. What a legend.
I hope you both passed the inspection. Even when I'm sure my car is ok, I still worry about taking it in for it's MoT
@@phuzz00 actually I failed, so I took it to my usual dodgy brothers mechanic and passed with flying colours. 😁
I love the nod and the thumbs up 2 enthusiasts / people acknowledging each other.. I’d rather do that than go over and harass them…. 👍👌
Marty is such a good bloke, you can tell in this video in particular he is the mate everyone needs and wants
worst one was Moog stealing then selling Marty's other car. that was a dark day indeed.
agreed but lets not down play AL. he's an absolute legend too
and Al. Just seem like super humble legends.
Cool stuff. 🥲
Marty this was so heartwarming, what a lovely gesture from you and Al to his son. Seeing his eyes light up was so sweet. Thank you to all the MCM crew and family for being such genuinely lovely people, your videos will never stop brightening my days
This is what puts MCM miles ahead of any other car show. I had goosebumps throughout and then even more at the end. Marty, Moog, Al, Benny and everyone else they encounter are all just great examples of human beings.
Alan's son has just received one of the most iconic cars on CZcams a car with so many memories for Alan and Marty.
I was going to cry sacrilege. Now I get the plan. I'm glad Supergramps has gone back home and Marty's plan is unfolding for something bigger and better. Can't wait to see it.
The plan is the Levorg as Supergramps v2 and it's no secret lol
oh man, this was def emotional but Al's silent nod when Marty showed up was amazing. Al is such a legend. im sad its not in the MCM garage anymore but very fitting its still in the family and we know Al and his fam will take great care of it. such a great story and i loved that ending! cant wait to hear some braps as you boys drive to super garage!
and think about it, maybe in a year we get to watch him teach his son how to drive stick!
This dude is so lucky to have his dad and you getting this car full of history back to its family is probably one of the best move friends can come with. Super Gramps has a new owner. Long life to the Levorg!
Everyone on mcm seems to be genuinely good people at their cores. It's very heart warming.
1:56 people saying this was the series that got them interested in mighty car mods is wholesome, Supergramps will live in our hearts
For me it was the STI swapped beetle they did
It was the JDM Mira build for me
Best episode for ages, guys. Got me right in the feels.
When we said goodbye at the gate in my Daihatsu Sirion at France meeting, I told you guys how much I loved you both, thanked you for all the entertainment you’ve been providing in our lives, and also asked you to keep on growing.
Super excited to see what’s incoming in the future.
MCM for life.
Man I don't know these boys personally... but this was emotional. Farewell Supergramps.
This was pretty sad but happy at the same time. The legend of Supergramps will live on forever!
Passing on the enjoyment to the next generation is, I believe, a noble cause worthy of our letting him go.
Thought this was gonna be a forever car for Marty… but the whole cars story is epic and the fact he can keep it in the family is epic… can’t wait to see the levorg done!
Oh man ... I've grown old with you guys :) It brings tears to my eyes watching you together again - like the old days :)
Couldn't go back to a better home, the young lads' expressions were priceless!
The way his jaw dropped as Marty went full send was absolute priceless. That kid will be driving one sick car to learn a lot from!
Man watching them take the turbo off got me right in the feels.😢
The future of supergramps is definitely in good hands!
I guarantee the little fella is going to put that turbo back on as soon as he will be allowed to
Turbo had to be taken off as P-platers are not allowed to drive turbocharged vehicles in QLD.
See how carefully all that stuff was removed - Gramps' super suit is being mothballed, ready for the day when the powers of Supergramps are once again required. Long live Gramps!
@@NeXMaX That seems like a very outdated regulation..
@@Oockeshoek if it was the stock ej20/ej25 with stock turbo you can get an exemption as the power to weight is low enough. its meant to stop hooning.
My second car was a Legacy GT wagon here in Canada, entirely inspired by the series. I completely fell in love with this car the moment I saw it on MCM. Forever grateful for this show and the memories they've shared with us.
This hits home. My grandfather but a c10 brand new in 1984. I grew up in that truck, it was the first thing I ever got to drive. He let me drive around in his field and on short trips to the gravel pit (I was about 10 lol). In about 2011, right before I was getting my license, he sold it. In 2015, after he passed, I found it. The guy knew it was my grandfather's truck and what it meant to me, so he sold it to me for what he paid. I've put about 45,000 km on it since then.
All this to say, thank you for being that guy for someone Marty, it will mean more to that kid than you or him even realize it right now. It's a different kind of connection to a car altogether when it's a car you grew up with.
As sad as I am to see it go this is so heartwarming and wholesome. Long live super gramps
I love how far Turbo Yoda has come in terms of on-screen comfort and how easily he chats now. Yuge difference from the way he was when this car was put together when he'd barely talk! 😂
MCM is the only channel on CZcams that's consistently made me shed tears on a yearly basis for over a decade. Some very moving scenes. Amazing, guys.
It was the introduction of SuperGramps in the early days that helped me see the potential of a wagon my X-wife got her hands on. A 2004 VW Passat GL Wagon with 5-Speed manual 1.8T 20valve engine. 1.8T's known to be bulletproof as long as you don't push them without the proper mods to support it has been a solid vehicle as my project car over the last 3-4 years since I got it from my x-father-n-law. But thanks to SuperGramps and me being on the other side of the pond in the States, I have named my ride "The Granny Sleeper." This year I had taken it to my 2nd Volkswagen show (VolksFest) in Milwaukee, WI, and thanks to other voters I placed 3rd. It's a great experience and I still have loads more plans down the road for it. Good luck, SuperGramps, 2 weeks after I got my license I totaled my vehicle. Hehe, right of passage.
I saw the title and thought to myself, supergramps is such a special member of the MCM family that I hope he does something cool like a give away to a fan...... I was so unprepared for how much more awesome and meaningful the outcome was going to be!
Legends that never fail to come up with new ways to make us love who they are. Right in the feels!
Can't wait for the next chapter
I know, when Marty said he was driving to Queensland (before he explained the plan) I was hoping it was going to Al or his family. Later when he explained the backstory, it was just perfect, there’s nowhere else that car should have gone.
Goodbye supergramps, you'll be loved for all time!
Be written off soon
@@unfknknown9678 how so
It's now rubbish, the new owner could have L plated it, then stored it until his son got his full licence. The amount of costs to tune and custom build it has just been thrown away.
@@jethrox827 well that was what Al said but it's not something you'd call rubbish. It's just old...
@@jethrox827 The cost to build and tune was paid for by AdSense years ago.
My two favourite cars, Gotta love Marty's taste in cars.
Years ago I bought a gen 4 liberty wagon with a flat six and needed a new tailgate for it. I went in to onboost auto wreckers in Milperra and bought one from the car that supergramps' interior came from. I missed Marty and Moog by a day and I scored a turbo bonnet for it for a lot cheaper than what they go for nowadays. Supergramps has always been the car that I measure mine against and I'm glad to see it still in the wider MCM family. The Skid Factory is one of the channels I love and Supergramps is a big part of the reason that channel exists today. Marty is the epitome of the Aussie legend and in selling this car to Al for 5 grand he proves it once again.
One of the best episodes. No wrenching but that much car emotion in 20 minutes is amazing
Simply epic. The FD arriving was like post credits to a movie. MCM is going to be booming HARD from NOW.
"I'm here to talk to you about the Apex Seal Initiative."
It’s just a fd
@@urdnotdank2642 what do you mean its JUST a fd?! thats a dreamcar for me and many others
@@thorvonfalin9975 Yup! If I had the wallet for that kind of financial domination I would let an FD whip me and make me pay with a big smile on my face!
When you said "8 years later" describing how long its been since you finished Super Gramps, I was shook!! I cant believe its been that long! I remember watching the build week to week so vividly.
Man I barely decided to watch where they were after many many years. Super gramps saga was great, so long soldier 😭🫡
Damn, made me shed a tear. Always loved this build (in fact, it's my favorite one), but seeing it go to a very special person is mighty heartwarming (Sold back to Turbo Yoda, who turned out to be its original owner)
One request: Can we name the groveL "UltraGramps"?
HyperGramps? 😉
@@joealex65 MEGAGRAMPS
Gramps 64! haha
SuperDuperGramps
@@tommybouletthen the next one will be a boxy Nissan called the Gramps Cube?
This video did not stop taking and then giving.
I went through so many waves of emotion, then hype, then sad emotions, and then mega hype again that I do not know where to begin.
MCM is so damn awesome
Me too, mate!
The best offroad 4wd channel is also the best channel at playing with your emotions. Man, what a ride. Farewell Supergramps, you're (still) in good hands.
This car and it's build series heavily influenced me and it feels bittersweet to see this.
I was always into Subarus before but watching the original Gramps build basically as a kid, my interest shifted toward the Legacy/Liberty. Seeing the shift to a BP wagon with Supergramps showed me my dream car.
It was so beautiful to me, perfect looks while still being super practical. A dream car, to me really became one I could do anything with.
Fast forward some years to my first and second car, fresh license in hand I still held onto my dream, knowing how great Supergramps became.
In May of 2021 I achieved it... I bought my very own BP Legacy with barely enough money in hand. Bought if sight unseen and far away but the seller was a specialist and made sure everything was in order and I knew fully what I was getting. They even did another full checkover, replacing some more parts completely for free.
The car was PERFECT... I was so happy, doing the obligatory looking back at the car all the time "damn I love this thing".
Sadly the journey ended only 3 months later with a blown engine... Got the full Subaru experience served right there.
I don't know to this day what caused the damage so I can only assume improper bearing wear.
I was soo heart broken... Since I was already in a fragile mental state at the time, it completely ruined me and I've been in a loop since. I had absolutely no money or time to fix it and ended up having to buy a cheap replacement, selling the shell for scrap.
A lot has changed in my life since then but I am still determined to one day own another one.
Now this all sounds really bad, I know. Just know I have ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS.
Seeing Supergramps "go" almost makes me tear up and I can't help but feel a little envious of the future new driver ;)
That was a very wholesome thing to do! Definitely awesome to see Supergramps continue to live on!
This pulls at a couple of heart strings. My old man took his Datsun Ute off the road when I was 15. He planned to give it to me for my 18th but it never got finished. I managed to finish it and it’s my pride and joy.
I just know he’s gonna have a ball with that car.
Surprised it’s been so long since the supergramps build. It was awesome and I loved every second of it.
So wholesome and impressive to see it come full circle back to Al 😊
Absolutely unbelievable,. When I watched super gramps being built, I dreamed of car of my own that was truly mine and i owned it. 8 years later I own a mk8 golf r and now super gramps has returned to its original family, and now Marty is building another subaru wagon. What a world we live in. Thanks Marty, Moog, Turbo Yoda, and others
I can tell that young man will truly appreciate being able to call that car his own. His face said it all in the little joy ride with Marty.
Marty is such a genuinely nice bloke, the selflessness he shows to enable his mates to have the best time possible is proof enough of that.
Thanks for all the years of entertainment, Supergramps
So long Supergramps, the memories us fans have of you will be with us always. From the original flooding in the rain, to the build up of the final product. To me, the most iconic MCM car ever built. Thanks for all the years!
There is no one else in the world that can pull all the heart strings of any motoring enthusiast like mighty car mods.
I totally agree with the plans for supergramps, what a great send off. Cant wait to watch this on the skid factory because there is zero chance Al and his boys are gonna leave it the way it is.
Working on nuggets like the Mira & the original March SuperTurbo in your mums driveway are what caught my attention at first, what kept me around for the past 14 years or so has been EVERYTHING.... Please never stop. We're approximately the same age, so I vow to watch until you decide to call it quits (hopefully never), you can be like Bill from BillsBuild&Race (formerly wjp004, another amazing channel btw) and still be uploading well into your golden years, no offense Bill if you see that, it's meant to be a compliment. Just shows fantastic content coming from the boys Down Unda.
Tears of joy shed on this one, NGL..
Just a awesome group of guys. Was almost teary eyed when they took the turbo off. A bit weird, but Supergramps always felt like a member of the family. MCM has always felt like family.
This channel is one of the reasons car people exist... So happy it is staying close.. I have followed super grumps from day 1.
You have honestly my morning a whole lot brighter ❤
yeess! Just look at the face of the boy! that a face of a true MCM fan!
100% so happy for the them 😄
That soundtrack, the narration, the intrigue ... why is this show so perfect
This has to be, without doubt, the hardest episode to watch. Not because it’s bad. But because it’s like finding out an old friend you haven’t seen for years has passed away. It’s great to see it going back to Alan (great name by the way!) bug it’s not supergramps any more.
As a big fan of both MCM and The Skid Factory, this makes perfect sense. It’s come full circle and will be going to a good home rather than someone random who may not care for it the same. Also, it looks and sounds great! Happy and safe motoring!🔥
This is super cool. Wagons and Vans are also some of the best, most fun vehicles to have when you're still in school. I drove cheap beater boats like my old 1984 Mercury Grand Marquis and 1990 Ford Crown Victoria, but I definitely had the most fun in my beat up 1992 Dodge Caravan that could uncomfortable seat nearly all of my friends as we went out to the movies, sporting events and whatnot. The added bonus of reliable power and AWD makes Supergramps an AWESOME candidate for a fun and utilitarian new driver vehicle. Congrats, Little Man!!
Super gramps was part of my younger years. Growing up my "attainable" dream car was the STI. Watching supergramps become what it was inspired me to work hard and go for my goals and dreams. Years later, I now have owned my 2017 STI limited for 2 years last week. Thank you guys for always inspiring others. Love from Washington State
I didnt expect to get this emotional, but it's so awesome to see Supergramps with Al. It really couldn't be in a better hole. Top lad, Marty!
The look on Al's sons face. Priceless.
Damn boys, the music when you were tearing the turbo out and we still had no idea what was happening??!! Right in the feels!
CANNOT WAIT to see more on the Levorg! Let's Go!
This is a major reason why I love this channel! U said b4 u would never get rid of it. But I'm so happy u did it this way! No better way to say goodbye than go full circle. Farewell supergramps. U will be missed!
Supergramps was one of the first Mighty Car Mods projects I rewatched, probably around four times by now. Glad it's still in the (extended) family and I can revisit it whenever. Really excited to see what you guys come up with. Long live the king, Supergramps.
Supergramps wasn't the car that got me into you guys, but it's amazing that you got this ready for your mate's kid whenever he gets his learner.
Talk about throwbacks, I still remember coming in after late nights of work to see the latest build video for supergramps. The crazy hail storm that was a nasty setback, but you all kept pushing through. Glad to see the car continuing its story and in good hands. Legends
I stared watching over 10 years ago, thank you gents, you inspired me in music, cars, and general mayhem. The best
I am so happy for everyone in this video. The respect Marty and Al have for each other sets a great example. All the best Beau, and good luck with your L's!
As a dad myself this is touching, I hope I live long enough to see my kids faces light up like that when they touch the gas pedal.
I am so happy to see Super Gramps go to a deserving owner! So jealous, too! That kid is gonna learn to drive in a car much nicer than what I drive as a 35 year old! What a lucky dude!
And this... THIS is why MCM continues to be PHENOMENAL
This is legit what it’s all about. Sharing the love and getting a new generation hooked on our passion. You can have your super cars and exotics, but nothing beats your first car.
Ok so this was humbling to watch. It hits differently when you have a sentimental vehicle that has come back full circle. Sure you hear about rare cars and their stories but this is different, this what makes it heart warming. So long super gramps.❤
OMG. The look in his eyes every time Marty put his foot down!
This car was built at an important time in my life,I was going through my mechanics courses at the time,and the motivation the build gave me, was to keep pushing and stay with it , and to have fun along the way , thank you for the memories ❤
SuperGramps makes me feel slightly old. What a car, what a journey. I almost wish it was in the "OG Shell" though. The levorg will be such a great build I'm sure and it will be interesting to see a SuperGramps like project (hypergramps?) In a shell that looks fast
Well levorg is kind of a Hyper/Ubergramps.
@@Kacpa2 that's what I'm saying, I'm interested to see the evolution of the "gramps" series with the levorg, gonna be the same engine but built and I'm assuming they'll keep to the premise of evolving technology like they did with SuperGramps.
@@curtisss EZ30 is a bit different to EZ36 in supergramps and has much more aftermarket support and potential, can rev higher and sound like RB26 and, so they can go to town with it far more i think. 600ccs dont realy matter when subaru tuned it for fuel economy compared to more performancey setup stock for ez30. Funnily enough its also exact engine thatvshould be in supergramps because thats what 4th gen legacy/liberty had. EZ36 was in 5th gen, outback and tribeca facelift.
@@Kacpa2 was it an ez30 they built? My bad I thought it was a 36. But thanks for the info!
@@Kacpa2 I am pretty sure the ez36 in SuperGramps came out of a Tribeca (that's a hazy memory from early episodes though)
I started watching you guys when you were just on your driveway, doing simple DIY videos.
I just bought a Mk 7.5 golf R, and am in the process of following in your footsteps modifying it.
But on the weekend I had a drive through the otways in Vic, windows down, no music.
Im not quite sure I've ever felt bliss like that.
Thanks for the inspiration and the thousands of hours of entertainment. My first performance car, the first car I've ever been truly connected with.
Stoked beyond stoked
Beed 8 years already! Damn time flies! Can't believe i've been watching this channel for longer! Like gramps, this channel has come a long way.
Not going to lie it brought a tear to my eyes this one, but to see it go full circle and to see the eyes of the young fella is what really pulled on my heart strings.
Straight the best and most genuine people on the interballs
Exciting stuff! Cool to see that Super Gramps is staying in the extended family. Looking forward to the RX7 build!
So happy for that kid. The reaction and excitement is priceless.
Farewell Supergramps. I found your channel because of this car, after buying my own Gen 4 Legacy 3.0R Spec b in 2013.
It was and is the most special car i've ever owned, sadly had to let it go last year, but never put a foot wrong, and brought both of my kids home from the hospital for the first time.
It's always going to have a special place in my heart, as this one clearly does for you guys.
Glad it's home 👍
Epic. Just epic. Wow
I got emotional, the best ending ever.
Not even Steven Spielberg could write a better script.
❤
Literally the best youtube channel. The way you guys tell the stories you do, absolutely brilliant!
Really wholesome to see this come full circle. I remember watching the original Supergramps build and seeing the look of devastation on Marty's face when the original donor can was destroyed by the rain. I never knew Al was the one who offered up his own family car so that the project could move forward.
I'm super sad to see Supergramps go, but this was the best place for gramps to go. I feel so much better after seeing that title. I hope he continues to enjoy that car, it's my favorite!
At first I was like "whaaaaat, noooooo!" But few seconds after I literally screamed "hello yeah boys!" Did not expect the video to be such and emotional rollercoaster in a good good way
I can't wait to see what Al will do with it. Sad to see gramps go but we know it's going to someone whos going to look at it just as well as Marty. Hope you guys enjoyed Paris as well.
I still remember watching the video when Gramps was out for paint and it flooded. I thought that was the end. What a legend Marty brining it back home after all that
My bugeye wagon runs and drives after years of plotting and planning, cramming wrench time between work, school, internships and the like. Just started learning to weld and got proper stock hangers on my OBX header, and even with a stock Outback Impreza exhaust the damn EZ30D sounds like a pissed off swarm of bees! Working on a crappy set of cats to get her thru smog, and then she's properly legal and ready for the GT life! Super Gramps was an inspiration! Long live the H6 Levorg!
That is legendary! Looking forward to the Levorg getting finished. Al really sorting his sons out, they have the coolest dad.
As a old cunt.. this was nostalgia. Legends you two.
I remember headlight restoration video with pee
Crazy how long it's been. I remember watching the Super Gramps build as it came out. I actually had bought myself a 2011 Subaru Liberty 3.6R here in the states back when Super gramps started. Auto unfortunately but I learned all the maintenance myself. Did vinyl wrapping of bits, suspension building, sway bars, exhaust, custom grill, aftermarket wheels, tuned on 93 octane. Unfortunately had to part ways with it after 5 years. Drove it nearly 100k miles. I bought a 2019 STi which I had for about a year. Sometimes wish I still kept it but later traded it for a 2018 Audi A4. I needed something more practical for a daily. (I was tired of spending so much on fuel and having to rev the thing out everywhere) and didn't exactly have the money to start putting mods into it. I'm still happy with my choice but I do miss tinkering with car mods. Maybe one day get myself something to play around with again.
At first, I was sad to see Super Gramps go. Then, I saw it was going to Al's kid and it just felt right. Seeing the FD at the end was the absolute perfect way to close out the episode!
The effort and quality of this chanel is such a treat for us all thanks boys for being apart of all of our lives ❤️
Al and Marty look like a young and older brother just getting together after a while and having a chat
Love that super gramps didn't just sit and went full circle. Love this so much. Hope when I am on the sunny coast I will see it around sometime :)
I was feeling kind of sad until I saw that ginger kid grow a soul right in front of my eyes. Glad its going to a good home.
Never thought I would see Marty saying farewell to supergramps so many memories with this car good bye super gramps you will be missed
Oh man, never thought I'd see the day. A fitting end for a truly special car.
The MCM team and Supergramps was THE reason i decided to get a 4th gen legacy wagon for my second car. While i may not get the opportunity to build this specific one, it quickly became my favorite generation of the legacy/liberty platform as well as my favorite of the subaru platforms, so much so so that i plan to get another one down the road but as a sedan. I hope the Supergramps last for many more years to come and brings many smiles and memories in it’s retirement!
Music in this episode was some of the best of any you've ever done
Genuinely the end of an era. Glad to have got the chance to see Supergramps in person, but also glad that he's going full circle back to Al's family.
