Saving A Cosmo - Making The Sills Pt1 (Richards L10a)

- Making the inner and outer sill structure for Richard's L10a Cosmo. Replicating the original panels by adding the OEM drain indentation and pressings. Added much more "during the work" clips to this video and didn't cut out any step-by-step details. It's quite time consuming and a tricky process to replicate stamped panels by hand and work out the most economical solution with the tooling I have available.
Also made the D/S dogleg and another 2 pairs of sills for the other two Cosmos. Got to the stage where I'm ready to unpick the floor and inner structures so that I can fit the floorpans I made previously in another video.
Hope you never stop making these videos. You do a really great job of explaining everything you're doing, and I find it almost therapeutic to watch. 😅
Thanks mate i have added more "during the work" and detail as requested even though I thought it would be too boring to watch.
Not too boring at all man, maybe not perfect for RUclips algorithm though if you're trying to grow!
Nah not fussed on that, the reason I avoided this platform for so long is that it's oversaturated with clickbait/cringe or garbage work just for views, something I have no interest in. I only post here as I can only post 10x 1minute videos on instagram and you lose too much information doing that. Here I can just leave All the detail and provide people starting out with all the tips,tricks and what not to do that I wish I knew when I started 😅
Love that you're just doing it for that reason. All the best, watched/followed you for years and will continue to do so!
Brother , you are atrue artisan.
This is one of the most satisfying channels to watch.. It may be my new favourite alongside Tyrells workshop. Marvellous mate
Thanks mate glad you enjoy watching
Man, thats a lot of work. Love how much of a perfectionist you are. Definetely bring both Cosmos back from the dead...😊
I'm always chasing better work than the day before, never happy with my own results😅
stellar stuff. you may be the only person in the world with three cosmo restos under one roof.
Well I thought I had enough here and was recently contacted by someone in the states with 4 and he owns them all 😅 3 series 1 and 1 series 2.
@@notevn cool, then you're still the only one with three lol
As everyone says, unreal metalworking mate. absolutely top notch. Also, love all the home-made pieces of equipment, you are obviously mechanically gifted to say the least. can't wait for the next video.
Thanks mate, when you don't have money to spend you gotta make it 🤣leads me to some pretty creative solutions.
No wonder these cars are rusty, great job on the new panels
This is some sexy panel beating if I've ever seen it.
Bravo sir.
You Sir, are a Wizard with this metal. Subscription added😀
Thanks 😊
Amazing attention to detail!
I love seeing the work you're doing.. And don't ever think it's boring, as it's quite the opposite, and watching the end results is amazing. Thank you for continuing to create the content.
Thanks mate I'll keep at it.
Really enjoying to watch how you work and all the explanations, keep it up.
Thanks mate
This was in the 80's a lad I worked with kept taking days off then surprised everyone by handing his notice in he's got a job at the new Nissan plant in Sunderland that had just opened , he had got a old workmate a job with us he told us he was had assembling the cars , shortly after I had a day off noticed I got docked wages which normally never happened the boss told me he was annoyed the kid had lied over getting the Nissan job and had rang in sick , saying that we got a £20 pay rise to stop us going there , just a little bit of nostalgia .
Another very interesting and enjoyable episode, looking forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it
Man, I frickin' love your videos. Your skills are crazy and your delivery of the content is fantastic. Thank you for taking the time and effort.
Thanks mate. Hopefully you get something out of them.
High class metal fabrication Sir, so enjoyable to watch!
Well done you definitely need someone to tell you every day you’re the best the detail is just ridiculous. once again perfect.
Thanks mate. But you don't learn anything if you think you're the best. Always someone out there with a better or faster way than you, so gotta keep chasing better to improve yourself.
Impressive work- thanks for sharing
Great episode
Triple the Cosmo's of other UK channels, your doing incredible work mate,
yorkshire car restoration's 110s is about in the same condition as the black one. not sure if ycr has seen the state of notevn's other 2 cosmo's.
love your work brother
Your work is proper mint. Just great videos
Thanks mate
Superb work mate!
Thanks
Awesome work mate - your metal fab skills are in another league. I really enjoy watching yours vids and continually am amazed with your attention to detail. Five Star Rating.....
Thanks mate hopefully learning some tips and tricks I wish I knew when I started out.
Wonderful work!
Thanks mate
Nice work
Thanks
killing it nath
Legend for keeping the uploads coming.
Will you make your Cosmo wider than original?
Umm with mine it will just be same as normal for the width, I have shortened the rails and floorpan to accommodate 9 and 10" wheels with ease under the standard bodywork without having any tacky looking flares/widebody.
Awesome job man! Question - if drainage was an issue from factory, when doing these repairs, do you add more / are there any tricks for better drainage to try and avoid the same issue down the track?
Thanks mate. Yeah I look at doing a solution to the issue where I can. (Like removing the roof to quarter join that rots out due to the chrome trim holding water there)
With this I will just add a larger drain hole that drains it directly out the bottom of the sill under the vent and properly waterproof the hell out of that area with sealer before I put the lower quarter back on.
Cool man, awesome to hear. Love your work, proper skill that! @@notevn
Got the skills nath build that youtube profile and build that business ;)
What a donkey! lol mega stuff appreciate the work and the thorough explanations. Epic stuff.
Dumb hey, knew it would happen too 😅
that's a disaster of a drainage solution by the factory, will you improve on it for the other custom ones? (like a dimple die into a drain tube out of that swimming pool area in the guard bottom) always interesting to see the process of making the shapes and how it fits like a factory part in the end. i remember kicking the "surface rust" of a car door once and my foot went through it, i didn't keep that door but i should have cut the piece out to see how bad it was
Terrible isn't it. Destined to fail.
Yeah I will probably make a splash tray under the vent that routes any water directly out the bottom of the gaurd like a sunroof drain . And just do proper sealing/waterproofing of the inner areas before the front lower goes back on.
@@notevnі коли будеш робити це корито, зроби це з нержавіючої сталі)
Oh nooooo I had to eat a pack of gummy bears in sympathy
What gauge thickness metal are you using, ? 1mm or 1.2mm ?
0.95mm-1mm
what is the thickness of the sheets from which these new parts are made
0.95mm
OK thank you
i know its a bit of extra money to spend mate, but a head cam would free up your other hand.
Yeah I have a head strap for the go-pro i think. It's just the impracticality of wearing it when I'm constantly putting a face shield or welding helmet on. (I dont wear safety glasses anymore as I got sick of digging steel out of my eye every night🤣)
fair enough mate.
Damn this thing is rusty! It's like a 20 year old VW!😂 (which is what I'm fixing😭)
My daughter wheelchair is supposed to be charged every 2 weeks when not used regularly must admit never do it's more like when I remember still no problems after a year LOL . Looking good .
They take some abuse that's for sure.
I constantly have a flat battery in my hilux as I never leave home 😅
Daft question why not Tig the split up ?
Thats definitely possible as a last resort if you had to. But will never be as neat and uniform as just starting again and having a fold with no weld. I'd rather just cut my losses than put something in I'm not happy with.
