@@seenthroughglass Honestly, the worse things go the better the content. This is really like if Hammond was even worse at fixing things but was incredible at making videos:)
@@seenthroughglass you should look into whether or not a 4-seater car can actually be MOT'd as a 2-seater car with no hassle. At the very least, don't chuck away any of the bits you've just removed. 😉
Sam, these types of videos are really entertaining. Especially considering the current climate, a lot of people are modding their cars themselves and these types of videos are rlly inspiring
One of the best video’s on your channel. Always interesting to see how much someone can do without any experience with working on cars. Make the whole project a DYI project! I certainly will keep watching if you do.
Well done Sam. I started working on my own cars a few years ago. At first I was really nervous, but started doing simple things in the interior, like changing a radio... Then I tried to change the engine oil, and now, I am no expert by any mean, but I've lost the fear. Also, youtube tutorials help A LOT. Cheers from Spain.
Alternative title, "Sam makes simple modification look harder than it is". But love seeing the project come along, and you actually getting your hands dirty.
Think we can all agree that watching Sam making the mods makes for a far more entertaining video than watching someone who knows what they're doing 😂More of this please, loved it 👌
I know that feel, I bought the M3 for a track car build 2 years ago now, spent 30k on parts and it's sat on my drive since :(( Excited to see what this becomes. We should have a track car show down in 2026
Way to go Sam! One tip for the beginning DIY-er. Grab freezer tape and sandwich bags. Label everything you take out. Keep all the bolts together. Take a photo of all the bits. This may be an obvious statement but someone out there doesn't know that sometimes parts are designed for the left or right side of the car.
As I believe Sam predicted, just as he begins work on the Abarth, the “595 Hercules” is announced, and seems to be spicy. Regardless, love this DIY content, and love the project car vibes
Nice to see you actually working on the car yourself for once. Hope you keep doing that. So we get to see you turn into a real petrolhead, that can actually do things yourself. Keep up the good work.
An extension bar on the ratchet can make life a lot easier. Hold onto the extension when it stops ratcheting and then you can keep using the socket instead of your fingers.
More DIY video's needed - working on your own car is so rewarding! Maybe some standalone lights inside so we (and you) can see what you are actually doing next time!?. Cheers. Chris
Haven't watched STG since about 2016, but this video has got me interested again. I honestly think he should do more jobs on his own cars, as far as his abilities will allow him.
Well done Sam for having a go and you did fine just take your time and do some research as you did. Get yourself some plastic trim removal tools/kit off Amazon
Whenever I do these types of things, I always put everything inn ziploc bags with little notes to myself about how it goes together (or where I stored the photos showing how it went together). OCD as heck, but I do like old-me more when I help current me! Great video, cheers!
I don't comment that often, but i must say i am proud. 😁 You experienced almost everything while working on car. But losing tools in car is experience on its own.
This video makes me appreciate rebuild channels so much more. They make it look easy, and often I think I could do that. But then there's Sam reminding me how I would look actually working on cars.
Great video. Well done Sam. You might not be the worlds best mechanic, but you’re a flipping great CZcamsr. I couldn’t do what you do. Well done for just going for it!
Brilliant ;-) I was going to do mine but ended up fitting a full leather interior and Red seat belts! fab job Sam! I like the Red net with the black cross brace! No matter Defo a keeper!
Nice to see you get your hands dirty Sam haha! No but seriously nice job. An abarth owner myself and been following you since the 4C days. Very much looking forward to the next episode!
Props to you for giving it a go! Soon you'll realise it's easier and cheaper to just do most things yourself, and you know exactly what's been done then.
A great do it yourself mod I did to my Abarth is a forge motorsport induction kit. It looks like a lot of work but I was really mechanically unsure when working on my car, the induction kit was the first major thing I did and with the instructions they give plus some helpful CZcams vids I did it. The induction kit looks amazing, does add a bit of horsepower but is the ground work for adding even more power later on but it sounds incredible! Please try and attempt this mod Sam, it’s a game changer! Love the channel and all the vids and social media, keep it up!
WOW! Sam has morphed into the new Ed China 😊 Think it’s time for a new member of the team Mr Brewer, surely you have space for someone with Sam’s talents! Seriously though Sam, loved the video, more DIY please 👍
Off the back of your seen through glass podcasts with Tony from Gravelwood I contacted Tony and agreed to sell my recently passed away father's BMW. Let me just say how easy and good to deal with he was. He gave a good price and it was the most straightforward selling of a car I've ever done. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know.
Build not bought project? It is really satisfying when you solve the problem to have your project on the correct way. Try to keep doing it yourself as much as you can, you will love much more your car.
What a refreshing video format sam. Really enjoyed this mate. So good to see you getting hands on. What a great set up you've created to do the work in too. Well done mate.
Yes, please continue to modify yourself because it will start to set yourself apart from the others, and not be just another review channel. Although, you're still one of my favorites. Keep up the good work Same.
Again you have set yourself above other channels! Great video and awesome getting stuck in! Your channel is a cool looking thing with your location and car collection!
I was going to do this with my M4, but the bloody kit was $6k!! Congrats on starting the Biposto project. It's so satisfying to do what you can by yourself!
1:54 - ahahahah, I fell on the floor while laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That was a good one! I do watch quite some car channels, but yours is so honest and human, love it! Keep it up like that please!!!
Would be interesting to add some numbers for the weight reduction and see all the parts you removed on a scale vs the parts you added. Thanks for the video Sam!
First time with that toolbox? ;) Putting your 6' 2" frame into the back seems like something Doug Demuro would have to do... Enjoyed the light-hearted, self-deprecating vid. :D
Well done Sam. For you, you did very well. An idiots guide vlog, for those looking to strip out their 500/595. Keep them coming, we always enjoy seeing what you get up to. How about a coffee review next door?
Great video, sam! Glad to see you pick up some tools and have a go at this, very fun to watch! Can't wait to see the project (and your mechanic skills) continue to progress!
Keep going with DIY mods. It's going to be more rewarding for you Sam, and you will have attachment to the car you probably won't experience if you just get someone else to do for you. and it should help keep the costs down, so you can do more.

Given the fact that biposto means 2 seater, I'd say you're pretty much done now
😂😂 didn't even know that but your probably right hes done
Agreed! Hahah!
@@seenthroughglass solid series, looking forward to the next one
Are you going to have a go at wrapping Sam?

We're all very proud of you Sam. Now time to learn how to do suspension and brakes. If Ethan from CT can do it, you can do it too.
Ha good point! Its a brave new world
Sam, these types of videos are really entertaining. Especially considering the current climate, a lot of people are modding their cars themselves and these types of videos are rlly inspiring
Great to hear! Much appreciated
Haha amazing how he started growing a beard now that he works on his cars himself
I think Sam and Seb had a bet going on. Suddenly Vettel spotted with a brand new bolding look and Sam's got more hair now!
Haha! Just wait till I buy a Morgan and look like Gandalf
@@seenthroughglass Thou shalt not just pass, thou shall Stelvio Pass! xD
A beard? I have more hair on my palms
@@seenthroughglass if you buy a Morgan you end up like Alex Roy. No hair
Love the fact you’re working on your car! Excited for the project!
Thanks for watching!
Who knew that this was the lockdown content we needed! STG flapping around for 10 mins. Good on you Sam and keep it coming!
Ha, glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant job Sam. For some who doesn't normally work on cars, this was a great little job to tackle yourself
Glad you liked it!
Good job Sam 👌🏼👌🏼
You should of weighed the parts you took out to see how heavy they are.
Good idea! Will do that and discuss on a podcast
Maybe people are laughing and stuff but you gotta start somewhere and I enjoyed so 🤷♂️
Thanks dude
In the same situation as you Sam. Been wanting to do this for a while but I’m not great at hands on stuff. Looks cool when it’s all in.
Thats what she said
@@NewHandle_ 😂
Easier than i thought it would be... even if I did get a few cuts here and there haha
@@seenthroughglass Well as my 695 xsr has just been stolen - a tracker should be first mod!
@@seenthroughglass If you don't bleed when working on projects you love, are you really into it? Lol!
Glad to see you’re respectful of the travel restrictions and other country’s mandates instead of finding your way around them like other CZcamsrs.
*cough* shmee *cough*
Have I got a Physics assignment due at 3 o’clock? Yes. Was this the perfect excuse for a break? Also Yes.
Kill it mate

Lol, Hercules is too much for me personally
"A straight forward pull-out" - reminds me of my 1970's love life...
It's awesome that you made the effort and it looks great in the car. Also to have the space to work on your car is great as well.
Thanks! 👍
Project Biposto Van? 😆 Used to bring spare tires and brakes in the back to trackdays for the Ferrari! 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not going to lie I did stop watching some of your vids but this content brought me straight back and realised how much I love your channel! Thanks
It was entertaining watching you work on your car. Give us more !
Thanks! Will do!
Amazing content! More of this please!
noted
Hi sam, haven’t watched your content since 2019. It’s good to be back. Glad to see the content (even in this time) is as good as always
Welcome back!
Nice to see you actually working on the car yourself for once.
Hope you keep doing that.
So we get to see you turn into a real petrolhead, that can actually do things yourself.
Keep up the good work.
Happy to see the project is still on!!
Sam personally working on his car alone? 2021 is off to an odd start, I love it!
"who needs tools; fingers" - that's what she said
Look forward to the next video for wart next for the ABARTH
Great to see the little abarth back!
Love spending time with this little car
Keep it up Sam loving the stuff and the m5 video last time!
Thanks! Will do!

Loved that Sam! More DIY please. Get some bits and fit them yourself, love it!
Hi Sam, just wanted to say you seems to be one of the car CZcamsrs who handle this lockdown content the best, with JWW & Shmee. Well done ! 👍
Brilliant ;-) I was going to do mine but ended up fitting a full leather interior and Red seat belts! fab job Sam! I like the Red net with the black cross brace! No matter Defo a keeper!
Oh awesome!
Glad you took off your lovely watch Sam! Loved watching this because it's something I've always wanted to do myself! Cheers!
Love this content. Sam, I’ve done so many projects to my BMWs during lockdown. You’re like me...watching CZcams vids to guide the way. Well done!
Love your passion for your cars .... the most interesting U.K. car CZcamsr by far ..... keep it going Sam 👍
Keep us updated with your modifications 👍
Greetings from Finland
Great video 👍 Thank you for taking the time to create great content when it’s pretty difficult to do so 🙌
My pleasure!
Fair play. All completed with the cleanest tools on you tube.

best thing ive seen on this channel in ages!! you will be putting DUB customs out of work now! Paul will be round for a spoiler on his car next week
Brilliant! Gave me a real laugh, especially because I would be just the same. By the way Sam, they do sell razor blades in the supermarket now😉
Good to know! ;)

That garage is cleaner than most operating theatres. And bigger than most London flats. I am very jealous.
Watching Sam struggle with basic wrenching is quite entertaining. STG DIY is now going to be my favorite series on the tubes.
