Mazda R100 Restoration - Making The Front & Rear Spoilers - Final Episode

- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- A little reward upon completion of the R100 resto, I was given the task of making a front and rear spoiler for it.
Something very out of the ordinary for an R100 and with nothing to compare to for what would look best.
I was a little free-range chicken coming up with my own style, a similar rear spoiler to my coupe but a little more rounded and leaned back.
I managed to get the wing made in 4 pieces (front, rear and 2 sides)
It has a lot of shape that you only really notice in person.
The front spoiler was an easy one, but because of the odd style of the front guards that hang below the front apron height, I decided to extend the lip all the way to the arches and the guards can now be trimmed off accordingly.
Because these are bolt on items with no mods to the body shape, a spare standard boot lid will be painted with the car so it can be driven with or without the spoiler in the future.
along with the other repairs that finished the car off including the passenger lower door skin inner, the battery tray repair and replicating the horn bracket.
keen to see this little car once it's painted and assembled, am back full steam on the Cosmo content now as this was filmed and finished over a month ago so I am still catching up on uploading.

That front lip. 🔥🔥
Unusual to see these items on an r100
That was a great watch. So many techniques in play.❤
Lots of little tricks I hope new comers can find useful
great work as always! its very enjoyable to watch you do make metal body panels so easily and based on your customer's smile, he's a happy camper. Looking forward to your cosmo series.
Thanks mate, that's the person's opinion that matters at the end of the day, if they are happy it's a job well done.
another inspiring video, trying to up my game after watching your work !
Forever setting the bar higher myself, I don't think it ever stops, constantly want to do better
I love the clean lines of the R100 not sure I would go for a spoiler, I probably would lose the door handles as well, if it were mine. Would love to see the finished car when completed by the owner.
Love how you see things I probably would gloss over. There is a real difference between a crash repair shop and a restoration shop, most of us have probably been to the former and received similar quality to what you found on this car. 😊
Yeah it's an odd thing, that's why it's all removable so can be switched to a normal bootlid in a few seconds.
Haha yeah gotta remember these cars were worth 5c once upon a time so it explains the cheap and nasty repairs they seem to all have.
Loving the rear spoiler great work 👍
Thanks mate it's something different.
Truly inspiring work. Very well done.
Thanks mate
You have massive talent, and I love the pride you have in your work. Great stuff.
Thanks mate still early days and self learning, striving for better than yesterday.
Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort to record and edit this, we know financially it's not worth it but man it's good to watch
Appreciate you taking the time to watch, deff not worth it at all if you were doing this for money, I'm simply filming my day to day job and documenting it all in video form for the owner to see.
Great stuff once again
Cheers mate
Star sharks ❤
One of the best of the ssr range
G'day from West Australia😉
Best compliment I can offer is one from yester year. " I tip my hat to you buddy"
Old timers sign of respect 43yrs trade life almost 60, yet mentally feel 21.😂
Thanks mate! I'm 31 so I have a few laps around the sun left to improve my skillset.
@@notevn gifted guys, don't improve there skill set they just marinate and mature with age buddy☺️
Love your work! Your videos are helping me understand the black magic that is shaping metal, everytime I watch learn something.
If it helps I'm still learning by failure and mistakes almost daily haha, there is always a better or different way to do something.
Glad there is some information that is useful though.
@@notevn I'm starting from 0% so all information is useful, especially the failures. But the quality and attention to detail you put into the work really shows.
Been following you from day one, and mad props 🤘
Appreciate it man!
A lot of people don't understand how metal reacts and are afraid to try. Easier just to through filler in it. Definitely better your way. haha
I still don't know how it reacts most of the time it's still a guessing game 🤣
@@notevn I'm not good enough yet to metal finish things, but I can get it so there's less than 1/16" (1.5mm) of filler on anything I do pretty easily at this point.
Hello from Germany! You are fantastic! Great work! Very inspiring for me! I wonder who can pay the labour you do on this cars. Are they that exclusive and expensive? It‘s so great that you just keep doing it, till it‘s really finished!
Thanks mate, my hourly rate is half of what a shop would charge,so am inexpensive for the quality of work. But yes most of these cars are very rare and worth saving.
Awesome to see it done, does the panel shop have a RUclips channel? Would love to follow the progress right through
A friend is doing the car i think so I'll hopefully be able to post some updates and I'll get to see the finished product as I'm friends with the owner of the r100.
Turned out mint.
How many hours did you have into it by the end?
I'd have to look back though my diary but at a guess it would be 200-220ish. I know the rear spoiler was 24hrs on it's own start to finish and the front lip was 5 including templating/design and install.
Have you tracked your hours on this ? Or have a rough ideal ?

How did you get the cars on those bases?
I have a manual forklift that goes like 3m high and can lift 1tonne. So I just move the shells around if I'm tight for space/have too many cars in the shop.
