Love how ego free this is. Just a guy with some skills, loads of graft and a very realistic grasp on improving a cars appearance. Great work, and great video
You owe nobody an apology. That transformation was outstanding. That Benz clearly shows decades of neglect and you were able to bring her back to glory with some love. I think the results are as good as they'll ever be!! Thumbs up!
whenever I see someone treat an old car with respect and admiration especially old Mercs, I get emotional (wipes off a tear). May you live a long and happy life.
I just spent 20 minutes watching a guy detail an old merc ... great video Sam, thanks for making it and putting the effort not only into the detailing but into the editing and music. 20 minutes well spent. keep them coming .....thank you
Great job! For those born in the 80's, it's one of the childhood's cars. I'm from Bucharest Romania, and there is a lady who owns one the same color, but it's completely new and mint condition. When she drives it in weekends, it looks like she just came from the dealership.
Great job Sam, well put together video as well man. Credit to the guys & girls at HQ. As usual I love the honesty and raw passion with no BS. We don’t live in a perfect world, so it can’t always be perfect. Just got to work with what you’ve got. You didn’t hide away from refurbishing the alloys yourself, you did what we all do and broke out the rattle cans. Kudos my man on a great vid and project! Results speak for themselves, you’ve given that car a lease of life. I look forward to the rest 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hats off to whoever did the videoing and editing.. The Detailing was great also.. Great production. I've seen much bigger channels with nothing close to this.. Nice work Sam and team.. Subbed!
This was just awesome & inspiring! I currently have a 94 320e wagon (daily driver), that I’m fixing up, with my brother, as well as an 83 300td wagon that needs a major love. It just brings me joy to see these gorgeous vehicles restored to their glory! Thank you!!
Liked and subbed - for me, that’s probably one of the best produced/edited, visually appealing and transformative vids I’ve seen on here. The hard work that’s gone into the car really comes through at the end - thanks for showing the process Sam and good luck with the rest!👍
Lowering a Mercedes W123 like a chav would is the biggest insult to it. I would take care of that issue before anything else. W123 is a future classic and a lot of people have fond memories of it, with it and in it. It's just beautiful and classy.
I wish i could do a full restoration of my father's w123 she has a lot of rust but the engine runs perfectly. BTW NICE JOB i realy like it i hope to keep this car for ever!!!!
Awesome effort mate and a huge amount of labour on your part. Its always hard to know when to stop as projects like these demand so much time. I loved the quality of your video, choice of music etc and look forward to seeing more of your content.
I’m actually looking at a late 70’s early 80’s model to rehab. This is the vision I had. So helpful to see in person what I could only imagine in my head. I’ve been trying to talk myself out of it......now that I’ve seen this video I’m having a change of heart .
Video production was out of this world. First video I’ve seen of yours but I’ve subscribed and hopefully it’s the first of many. Ps my dad used to have this in a yellow colour 👌🏽
Very relatable ... working with what you got and no focus on product brands. Amazing how effective technique and a little elbow grease can bring out great results! Thank you for giving this W123 some TLC!
Really excellent video, love the details and showing glimpses of you actually working were neat! One suggestion though if I may, it would be cool to see the car being driven at the end. Cheers!
this is a beautiful mercedes, dont be afraid of the rust, theyre super solid even when rusting, i have a very rusty w116 from 78 and i daily drive it, i just treat any rust i find and enjoy it. hope you still have it!
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos and aside from the super impressive detailing, I can't believe the incredibly high quality of the camerawork and editing. Absolutely knock-out, great work! Also that Benz looked fantastic when it was squatting down low, I loved it.
Hats off to you mate, that looked like a lot of work. End result is well worth it though. The stance on that is incredible too. Video production is amazing too. You got my sub!!
You have done an amazing job considering what you had to work with. I commend your dedication and commitment.Love the end result! Ignore the naysayers and Keep up the good work Dude! You should be so proud right now!!!
Sam that’s one amazing job given the state of the car initially, totally agree with not changing parts you lose something when you start that game and it’s never ending, who cares about some swirl marks it’s age appreciation! Great video also.
Anyone that saves a W123 is a hero
I love this comment
They have my respect. 😊🤙
True
thank you 😂
So true!

The exhaust is the glory hole
I second that emotion !!! double thumbs up !!!
Thank you for the apology.
I want to own one
@@Nobody-dm2ol classic
whenever I see someone treat an old car with respect and admiration especially old Mercs, I get emotional (wipes off a tear). May you live a long and happy life.
The production quality for a channel with 3k subs is incredible. Love the w123 too, check for rust behind those chrome wheels arches
I agree, but most of the videos are so short.
That was my first thought too.
I had a 81 230E Automatic one of the best cars I ever owned.
Thanks for the kind words, David!
For a guy doing this on his own.
Really well shot
Good Music
The outcome was astonishing.
Sam you put in work Legit.
I just spent 20 minutes watching a guy detail an old merc ... great video Sam, thanks for making it and putting the effort not only into the detailing but into the editing and music. 20 minutes well spent. keep them coming .....thank you
That was just awesome and what a lovely bloke 👍
The stance this car has is great - love these old mercs, the suit that look
Nah....
@@johnmoruzzi7236 it looks clean AF
nah dude his stance on that hood is much better with them knees balancing on that hood edge head-diving into the bay like a Kung-Fu Fkin Panda!
@@pratikvyas9626 ahh a panda!!! now that was funny !!!!
Give this man his own tv series. Excellent job.
Production of this video deserves an A+
Perfect interpretation of the rebirth of the old car style
After watching this video, I’m subscribed. Love the older Mercedes
Can’t believe the production quality. Awesome job!
Great job! For those born in the 80's, it's one of the childhood's cars. I'm from Bucharest Romania, and there is a lady who owns one the same color, but it's completely new and mint condition. When she drives it in weekends, it looks like she just came from the dealership.
No need for any apologies, that old Merc looks amazing, you’ve saved her 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
man your camera work and editing are like a pro, better than most channels with million subs.
اى يسطا بتشكك في قدراتي . انا التوب
Saving these old timers is a pleasure
This makes a refreshing change from all the up their own arse detailers on UA-cam, good job
I resemble that remark.
Better than that super car customiser ,or car wrapper as I call him!
Quite literally the best Mercedes ever made, and you managed to restore its charm. Big up!
Dude the final job outstanding, the model of the car and stance of the car priceless
A Benz is always a Benz. A class above everything else. What a beauty. Such dedication in your work. Take a bow son.

I loved "It is what it is" bit😂😂
That cinematography at the end is beyond 🔥
Can't believe how good you got this to look without paint, Credit to you.
Great job! Greetings from Stuttgart Benztown, Germany
This is definitly the best 20 minutes I spend this week. Great job! And outstanding production quality :D
You did a terrific job!
I swear this channel will be BIG in the near future. Enjoy the vibes, story-telling, and story-boards.

Me too and completely agree with Tony Smith and everyone else who posted a positive comment.
Lovely Jubbly, I remember these Mercedes being released to the dealership, and local car shows when I was a kid, you've done this one proud.
just want to thank you my man. it was a joy watching such effort put on a car, and such great cinematography as well
the final result is outstanding! especially on a car with no clear coat and rust everywhere. It looks new from all angles!
This makes me want to buy w123! 😍

Gotta love Sam probably one of the nicest blokes in the uk car scene 🙌🏽

The best car detailing Video I’ve ever seen. No🧢 🙌🏽
Awesome! The results of a visionary and a little work, I like your statement, "nothing special, just you and the car!"
first vid i've watched from this channel and oh my god.... the videography is absolutely outstanding. as is the effort put into the car!

I've got a w201 and same issues there regarding paint.... Fantastic cars though! Well worth the love
I admire this guy's passion, great work
Hello, the work you did here was truly magnificent! Same goes for the video, a cinematic pleasure to watch! Best regards
That is the most detail-oriented car detail I have ever seen! Congratulations on a job fabulously done!
Mad respect to you for all your hands on work. The results are amazing. Subbed!
SAM IS MY HERO...Favorite Merc. Wentzel Naidoo from South Africa
the w123 is such an underrated chassis
Get it up on a lift and you'll see these things are built like a tank.
Nope w108
man, what a job! much love and respect from Krautland :)
Really excellent video, love the details and showing glimpses of you actually working were neat! One suggestion though if I may, it would be cool to see the car being driven at the end. Cheers!
Thank you! Definitely stay tuned for what's to come in that case 👀
Love the editing of the video. Nice work on the car mate :)
This is ART . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Man, you put a lot of effort into the car. I really liked it. This is the respect for Classical Mercedes. Congratulations, good job.
1 person who loves there job and a passion for what they do to me is brilliant, I’d daily that no problem 😎🤙
For what you are able to achieve with the car and the video quality, you are too humble. No need to be so much apologetic, amazing work !
GREAT WORK!! Perfect filming. Really like this restoration.
Much support from here in Denmark. Keep it up.
Thanks for the rinseless wash tip in the steamer. This was a good refresher course video.
This is the Best Mercedes where ever build.
8 others also loved your joke!

Lovely merc
I don't think I've ever seen a detailing video from start to finish. Good stuff. So impressed!
Hats off to you mate, that looked like a lot of work. End result is well worth it though. The stance on that is incredible too. Video production is amazing too. You got my sub!!
Thank You for making that car so beautiful, the inside and the underneath needs your attention. Thank You once again.
