Putting a New Leather Interior and changing the windows in The BisMerc! Mercedes W124 300CE

My 300CE W124 Mercedes had a cloth interior.. beloved by some but not by me. Leather makes a huge difference to the way these cars feel and in this video I am swapping out the whole interior and changing the very scratched glass!!

[@autoavids]

That interior does make it look so much better and the transformation this car has gone thru is epic. Hopefully the "Bismerc" stays around for a while.

[@broomad]

Amazing - the interior looks fantastic. With a bit of leather filling and re-dye it will be mint !! Love these longer vids where we get to see exactly what work is involved to get to the finished result 🙂

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Arguably one of Mercedes' best designed cars.

[@michaelstaley2241]

Leather upholstery looks so much classy , the birds approve :

[@Matteo_Licata]

Well done Jack! I fully agree with you, a leather interior really lifts it up, it looks much better than it did. 👍

[@philtowle4683]

Now down that cider.

[@2702simmo]

Wow What a transformation A no brainer and not a single reason to think cloth would be better. Looks more premium now too

[@PompeyMatt17]

15:05 ..."this glass replacement was a real....pane".... 👏👏👏

[@newsnowireland4028]

That is truly the biz Merc now…. Love it

[@1240enzo]

The leather interior in the Bismerc really has given it some class. A nice upgrade for sure, and by all means the longer vids are great.

[@mike_ctid_taylor]

I had a W124T (manual) when my first child was born with a cloth interior pretty much like yours. Subsequently I have had an S210, S211 and my current S212, all autos and crucially all leather. Kids and cloth seats do not go together, leather looks and feels much more high end. The bismerc looks superb now.

[@timothydrew993]

It was good to see a bit more of the work that had to be done. The leather interior = much superior!

[@Mike_Costello]

For really cheap you can buy a set of plastic panel pullers and wedges etc and save on using metal screw drivers etc on plastic parts. Looks so much better after the change.

[@TurboLazer007]

Thank you! This is amazing. I was looking for this kind of a tutorial for a loooong time! 100% best video on how to take c124 interior apart! I have problems with scratches on rear window on my c124 (facelift model) and now I know how to fix it all thanks to YOU dear sir. Thanks!

[@ba2724]

What an upgrade!! You're right - it looks wonderful! You really need to consider keeping this car, as it's quite a special one. Bravo!

[@d.c.Jones70]

For me definitely was the right car to keep and just gets better and better

[@stuarthicks2696]

That cloth interior looks awesome. Hope someone else puts it’s in their Mercedes. To each their own.

[@chrisb9360]

My favourite type of content. A before/after transformation and just the right length of video.

[@michaelpegasiou4531]

Looks great Jack,half leather should keep everyone happy 😊

[@theirishantiquarian2363]

Like seeing the work getting done, don't mind the longer video's, 20 mins is probably the longest for most people

[@theomarshall6047]

Looks great. Enjoy watching your videos seeing you just work things out.

[@timbre7999]

:Love these longer, detailed videos; they make you feel as if you're part of a nice days tinkering. It's the taking things apart and figuring out how to restore stuff that makes it so interesting and your manner of presenting is always fun to watch.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Looks amazing - a massive improvement!

[@fredvallenet]

Really nice upgrade. Enjoying this series.

[@nigel.w]

I did really like the cloth interior. However, I think the leather looks even better. Good call. Great effort. Well done.

[@Miguel_Sanchez69]

That’s the content I like to see on that channel! Great job and what a transformation! Love it 👍

[@sethbranam9068]

Looks so much better. Great video.

[@markjordan6318]

Great interior transformation👏

[@maclachj1]

Fabulous! You made it look easy….looks great

[@TJC156]

That’s a fantastic transformation. It looks absolutely fantastic. Great work!

[@4pevans]

Wow! what a transformation indeed!

[@superseven7947]

Congratulations on the amazing transformation of your Merc Jack!! I hated it when you first bought it but so glad you did, you've given this car a new new life!! It's really a timeless and classy car. Look forward to seeing it with new tail lights and grille etc😊👍

[@Thecarman1994]

Hello Jack. The detailed videos are really useful.

[@davej6335]

Such a transformation! Great work Jack 👍🏻💪🏻

[@atatexan]

You helped me understand how to replace the “triangle” trim piece between the rear side windows and the shoulder belt housing! Now I can replace the nasty one on my otherwise very nice C124 Sportline. OctoClassic makes the parts using 3D printing.

[@organiccold]

Amazing job. Looks way way better. Love it

[@vintagebicyclenut5764]

Superb Work Jack, even better now! Looks Stunning

[@clevelandaeromotive]

Amazing transformation on the Biz-merc! Awesome job!!

[@markpirateuk]

Changing the interior is the icing on the cake, looks gorgeous!

[@Andy-From-England]

Fantastic transformation Jack looks great

[@RickCT2000]

An extreme makeover for sure!

[@joelvantwillert]

Big upgrade! The leather indeed really lifts the whole car. Also, I love the longer videos :)

[@rodrigoortega2378]

It really changed. Stunning car!

[@71bassg]

that is looking every bit the classy Merc well done!

[@richardkaberry8790]

Looks fab Jack. And really like the longer video. Thanks.

[@PaulLeitnerWise]

Much better Jack, concur on your observations on leather versus cloth interiors. Yet another entertaining but informative episode!

[@olivers.6420]

Great job Jack!!! It looks much better, for sure!!

[@edsahara]

I like seeing you discovering and dealing with the problems as they arise, as opposed to cutting them out and acting like it was all a piece of cake. The leather is much better!

[@kins749]

The leather is looking so much better, nice job

[@stephanmurphy909]

Well done Jack it's no fun taking out a car interior as a a car valeting buissness owner I have done it many times to in the past it's seems now people are keeping their cars better here in Ireland but it was always a achievement to have a dirty back to showroom so well done

[@dhdove]

Great to see you on the spanners Jack and what an improvement. I really hope you’re going to keep this one.

[@antisoda]

I miss my old '89 230E. 4-speed manual and no options whatsoever. But it was mine and I loved it.

[@neilpatching7443]

Excellent buddy. 👍 Definitely looks SO much better with the leather. 😀

[@AUCHTERMUCHTYZZ]

Great job Jack, interior looks fab!

[@Mo-cs4qr]

Massive improvement from when originally purchased this car Well done sir!

[@paulmackay6376]

Night and day Jack, leather looks awesome.

[@AceFace50001]

Interior looks very smart! Nice work! I also enjoyed the longer format with more documentation of the process.

[@Phil-1969]

Nice one Jack Definitely worth all the effort

[@jeandibb4111]

Nice work Jack - looks much nicer

[@robertvanzant2653]

Wow what a transformation the car looks fantastic the color really matches as well. Personally I like the longer videos. Your doing a fantastic job .

[@user-wb8kt9ep5w]

Looks great, Jack,

[@richardwollocombe6793]

Great video, Jack, well done! The new interior really does lift the car. I enjoyed the length of the video and watching the interior come together 👍

[@williejack3695]

as ever enjoyed the video Jack, love the way you tell it as it is. Loving the Bismerk

[@davidyapp2240]

Great vid Jack, your perseverance is definitely paying off, the whole car is such an amazing transformation compared to its original state, you must be proud of the car now. Your vids are perfect lengths and very informative, don't change the formula you got it just right. 👍👍

[@MOSSFEEN]

EPIC TRANSFORMATION

[@leewilliams4541]

Lux for sure, looks great Jack and we'll worth your efforts.

[@Landshark928]

Awesome upgrade Jack! Really bringing the class back in the 'E class '

[@gleng6812]

You have taken this car 10,000 miles forward! Definitely a keeper do not decide to sell it unless you are going to give it away to one of your favourite subscribers 😜

[@nigelclose8127]

Top job Jack,. Not boring at all, in fact its the exact opposite. The longer the better, really interesting to see in detail how you did it. Thank you

[@steffydog]

Wow, lots of work Jack, well done 👍

[@Rob.Coleman]

Quite happy with the longer videos, always interesting to see a 'how to' so don't be afraid to make them more technical 👍👍.

[@kipsome45]

I have to confess that I was in the ‘leave the cloth trim in’ camp, but seeing that leather interior, I’m convinced you’ve done the right thing. I’m also really glad that you thoroughly vacced the carpet after removing the seats…failure to do so would have really triggered my OCD!

[@filipwennergren2712]

Love it! Greetings from Sweden.

[@kw6766]

massive improvement

[@martinrussell5618]

Great video , as I said before delighted that you decided to keep the 124, a super car which will give you years of pleasure

[@carlharvey7098]

Oh wow! Looks so much better Jack…i was a bit dubious about you changing the cloth as it was very vintage Merc but the leather lifts the lux level matey.

[@pereldh5741]

Most satisfying!

[@NYKgjl10]

Despite the video being around 5 month's time frame, but the assembly of the interior for leather seats on the Mercedes does make a major difference. 10/10 stars vid!!!

[@cidercecil]

Looks superb Jack!

[@Kevink4240]

Beautifully done! The new leather set suits even more! Gosh I miss my W124 D300. My dad had that for 12 years. In a near future I'm thinking to buy one of this CE for him (and me too 😄😅)

[@richardbartholomew7924]

Love this car looks really nice now with new interior mate can't wait to see the next video in this car I hope u keep this car mate

[@ddlmln7830]

Thanks to YOU, because it really has been helpfull to me and to understand how to take out the back of the rear sites and many others desmountings details!!! Be fine.

[@Number27]

Glad it helped! Thanks 🙏

[@philipdubuque9596]

Great video. I was one of the advocates for doing the leather interior. And I was looking forward seeing the (cream-colored?) interior installed. But you're quite right. Grey was the way to go. Well done.

[@christophersmith4706]

That looks so much better with leather. I will start looking for a leather interior for my W124 E320 Coupe.

[@xeboi11]

Looks so much better 👍🙂

[@sainta2667]

True - Leather is a must

[@SuperMattyb83]

Looks miles better 👌💪👍👍👍👍👍

[@thisiszaphod]

Good job - and agree about leather interiors. Top man, Jack. Well played.

[@anthonyhawkins9239]

That’s really lifted the interior, very posh now 👍

[@caeserromero3013]

I always recommend leather. Ironically I've only had it in one car, till now, in my old 2nd hand 1986 Metro Vanden Plas. Cream leather seats, walnut dash, electric windows, I thought I was the shizz :) All my other cars have had cloth interior until my Ssangyong Tivoli. It's reminded me why I love leather. Definitely makes you feel better and lifts the car to a luxury level.

[@sucapizda]

Nice works, Its not easy what you did. Great results.

[@Number27]

Thank you!!

[@Lemma01]

Totally agree with you - and every other commenter: looks like the car you'd want to own! Great vid, mate - and the length is fine - tbh happy to watch for longer when you're fighting a fix... cheers

[@TheJensenInterceptor]

I love the cloth interior so much more than leather; it is so much more Mercedes than leather which seems to come in all cars nowadays. But after your work it looks good now keen to see you fix the cracking in the leather.

[@ewanturner4381]

Wow, the old girl looks amazing Jack. Brilliant effort. Great video too - I love seeing the trials and tribulations you endure to get to the end goal. 😀

[@daveshongkongchinachannel]

Impressive to see the transformation of this car from something the average person would probably steer well clear of to a desirable modern classic.

[@Restobenz]

Amazing car! And leather is always the best choose haha. I did the same in my w116.

[@zzhughesd]

Lovely trim sumptuous as old needs were.

[@danielalmagro9649]

Felicidades. Ha quedado precioso

[@Mr031068]

Longer vids the better for moi 👍doing a great job on the Mercedes’ - I want one !

[@kevinford6420]

You can get a product to polish the marks out on the glass to look like new. Worth a look!! Great watching the transformation, keep up the good work. 👍😁

[@WatfordWobble]

Looks so much better with leather. The longer episode is good I’m guessing you edited out the hair pulling frustration segments. It’s been a great project I’ve enjoyed following.
