190e FIRST START!!!! (M111 ENGINE SWAP)

So after a rocky year (almost 2 I think) of constantly struggling with this engine swap, we finally got eh m111 running in the 190e! Thanks so much to William, its good to finally hear this car running, as I honestly thought it might never happen..
thanks so much for watching, but the build isn't over.

[@SimonWilliams-r5b]

William you are a top man!!! To leave your country and jump on a plane for the first time to help someone out is truly an awesome gesture!!! The world is a better place with the likes of William……..Great job lads💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@joehaley7342]

You can learn from William, he sounds like he does things properly and takes pride in his work. You should do the same instead of bodge/ rush everything 😊

[@R55LSD]

If in doubt get the grinder out!!!

[@exquezit]

Thats very true, you can tell he’s passionate. Take pride in your work, none of that running a car without a dash on.

[@joshTEAM44]

Don’t forget that Lee said Will had done this engine swap numerous times though

[@AndrewDRSWilliamson]

He’s clearly learning everything at the same time just enjoy it!! it’s 1000% real and I enjoy the real videos not the made up bull and drama 💁🏻‍♂️😂

[@CYMRU619]

Hope he paid him even though he didn't want anything.

[@PatsRC]

Great work, William. The eastern Europeans know how to get things done. 💪

[@bazglend]

William = LEGEND!

[@cp88p43]

If ever a man was worth his weight in gold. Thats WILL. He should move to uk and start up a Mercedes engine conversion business he would be minttttted

[@alexharrison3586]

Waaay! Well done William, what a legend! The world would be alot better place with more people like him in it! I'm not on insta so feel free to relay the message Lee! 😂 Can't wait to see the 190E completed, will be a lovely car when it's done!

[@brettwainwright512]

William is a Legend. Nice one.

[@jimb5341]

Top bloke nuff said 👍

[@davpunk1986]

One lad who knows how to wire an engine swap from memory and another who welds metal to plastic and uses a grinder to find fuel leaks 😂😂😂 match made in heaven

[@plaguexyz666]

What a mega star ...... Big shout out to Croatia ..... If you ever sell her let me know please Lee

[@barricadeish]

Big up for William the man who can 😊 top guy he’s saved your project. You could learn a lot from his few days with you note How he works methodically no drama finishes one thing before moving on.

[@backwheelbob46rr]

Wills from a different breed, they show true generosity and ask for nothing in return, many people in this country could learn alot by him 👍🏼

[@alexjones8296]

What a legend William is. Sometimes, the car community can be truly amazing with the time and help people are prepared to give. Absolute kudos and respect to the man.❤

[@jameswhite4211]

What a legend William is we need more people like him in this world

[@CraigT-j4h]

Well done William! The wizard of wiring looms. 🧙 Fantastic job by a really good guy. 👍

[@garethdavies3175]

We need more William's in the world ❤ awesome 👌

[@clivefowler1932]

That william is a bloody legend! What a guy, would be good to see him help out to get the car finished cannot beat a perfectionist like him on the job, hats off!

[@chrisnahvi2846]

Well done William. I like how OEM he wants everything to look. He is a great friend to have.

[@scoobysean555]

Not got insta..... so nice one William 100% saved the build 💪

[@OwenP-w7t]

big up william keep him on the channel

[@kj-un5lx]

William you legend.

[@GaragE36uk]

Once again, so lucky you found him. Great work.

[@silksdetailing]

Dropped a follow and messaged, like I said in the other video, having people like William willing to help in such an extreme way, travelling on the plane for the first time, want nothing in return. We could all learn lessons from such humbling behaviours. This is exactly what a ‘car community’ should represent

[@dalegribble9101]

Ayyyyyy, ya man is a legend mate. Hope he is enjoying the UK more than just the inside of an industrial unit though. I know our lad Lee will be treating him well. Can't wait to see the first drift.

[@Simon78]

Lee, I started watching when you first got the Megane… coincidentally when I got one (see my struggle on my channel)… … just wanted to say I’m so glad you persevered with this build it’s totally my favourite to date! F. the haters. Keep up the great work!

[@johnpells5992]

A gentleman , and nice to see a job finished off properly on this channel 😂😂

[@PandH24]

Lot people would have given up but William has the right mind set about getting it working not many guys like him. You sir are a legend

[@paulc8821]

I’m not on instagram but William what you have done to help Lee is truly amazing, thank you

[@alexgeorge2418]

No insta but wow what a guy he must get so much self happiness hes willing to share it making others happy what a legend and he deserves to get everything in this world like you say never been on a plane but comes to help you wish there was more people like this

[@olijones2234]

thank you William 🎉

[@johndavis762]

Well done William I didn't think I would ever see the car finished.

[@oliverwoodham6685]

What an absolute legend!! A mine field of wires and he sorted it and didn't fase him at all.

[@welloffthepace3127]

Great job from William… that is the type of work ethic to learn from

[@adf86]

Buzzing for you Lee! You owe that lad a good drink 🍻

[@karlsacher9054]

Well done William. So good to see the 190 running. It's going to be a nice sleeper.

[@owenscallum4565]

[@andrew1979ish]

William the absolute legend 🫡 I don’t have many friends who would do what he did and I’m in the trade 😂 the fact he traveled across Europe for a stranger is legendary! We all need a friend like William just a shame there are so few in the world 😎✌️

Lee you should keep William he seems like he knows his stuff he might be a huge help with some of the other builds you have going

[@leebo130]

You should give this car to William, he’s absolutely been the dogs bollocks since he turned up. If he even wants it that is 😂

Love this guy. Definitely need to go over to his gaff for a meet up in the future. Or pay him for some collaborations in the future. But this man is a gift

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Wow does he have contact details! He could come over and we could do tourist visits, showing him round the country and also doing the wiring, be like a free holiday (at our expense of course).
