    I have been a Mazda rotary tragic for more than 40 years. This is and has always been my favorite Mazda rotary model of them all.
    Well done guys for selecting this iconic car to restore.
    I couldn't help notice at 4:15 you are turning the engine over by hand in the wrong direction. Haha

    Wow, so much going on in the work shop Ryan. Another beauty to add to the collection of rust buckets. Haha
    Love the surprises you and Steve (dad) keep rolling our way. Keeps us all interested and looking forward to the next episodes. Be well and rock the rust.

    Wish mine was this complete haha.
    Cool to see another being saved and see the differences between s1 and 2 when pulled down.
    Let me know if you need any specific pieces as I have already made the dies to replicate the unique floorpan pressings ,bodylines etc.
    And I also have 2 complete sets of standard underbody components like suspension/arms/diff/axles/steering etc that won't be getting used.

      Elo mate, nice to hear from you, We have been watching your videos and some nice work your doing there mate :)
      Must be nice having three of them even if they are a little worst than ours haha. You must have the biggest collection of cosmos in the world I would think :) shame we dont have the equiptment you do or we would prolly be following the same path :) ours will most probably be with basic tools, so just hammers and anvils haha :)
      We will keep you posted if we are on the lookout for anything :) best of luck with your builds mate :)

    THAT is a car !!
    I personally know one in France. It is in very poor condition too. It’s been vandalized (how can someone do that?).
    Much less rust than this one, but lots of parts missing, like front and rear windshield, wanted seriously !
    Looking forward to seeing more of this jewel !

    I am living in Japan more than half century but still only once to watch that 1st Cosmo running. At that time I was thinking like "What the heck of that K-car...? Noooo that's Cosmooooo!!!" Can't wait the restoration goes. Awesome. Cheers YCR!

    The seat belt feature looks like the aftermarket ‘tensioner’ that was used to take up slack in the days before inertia reels. I bought mine in Halfords!

  • @neilharrison7555
    @neilharrison7555 Год назад

    What a great car to have in the workshop! Ultra-rare, highly sophisticated for it's time, almost impossible for someone of normal size to get in/out of (!!!) etc.
    Look at the instrument panel, it's like an F4 Phantom fighter. Fantastic!

    • @Ragnar8504
      @Ragnar8504 Год назад

      I do wonder if it came with a big shoehorn and ten chiropractor appointments as standard if it was ever sold in Europe. That's true for several European sports cars too though, I'm fairly sure I wouldn't fit into, say, a vintage MG or Triumph.

    YCR keeps getting more exotic! Ryan is going to give the Datsun and Matt's 635 some hurry up! Gee I have what's left of my life, enjoying my favourite channel and dreaming of how I wished I were at least 60 years younger and could have chosen this trade, over motor mechanics! Watching you guys strut your stuff with rust, is euphoric!

  • @mndlessdrwer
    @mndlessdrwer 8 месяцев назад

    There's a LOT of panel-beating in the future for this car. So much needs to be remade and welded in. It'll be absolutely lovely once you can get it restored and they do demand quite a good price in good condition. This one, however, was probably not terribly expensive due to its perforated nature.

    Oh wow!...A 'Cosmo' you guys just have too many reasons for me to watch your channel!...Lol....Loved these since I was a kid, the almost torpedo shape is so eye catching and very rare (read expensive IF you could find one!)....The Cosmo and the Carol were cars that first attracted me to the Mazda brand and I'm now a serial Mazda owner since 2006.......Look forward to seeing if this is as bad and complex to repair as the 911....Good luck guys!

    If I may make a little suggestion, this is to put up a banner on the workshop wall that reads:

    I think you guys should invest in one of those laser rust removal tools, it would save a heap of time , wire wheels and flap disk's and is probably a bit kinder to the remaining metal. Looking forward to seeing you restore it to working condition.

    very rare care indeed, extremely hard to find for sale in japan. there is also the mazda luce R130 that came out around the same time but had a 13A in it. if memory serves me correctly many of the engine parts are similar or same as the R100.

    Cracking machine. I had no idea. Bet it was good fun. 53 years old. Apparently assembled in Hiroshima, from just 22 years after, we’re told, an atomic bomb was dropped on the city. I recall as a child not quite believing the story, scepticism that’s stood me in good stead as a career scientist. It didn’t happen. Gives you some idea of just how long we’ve been lied to. About everything.
    The great thing about vehicles of this era is that the way it goes together is straightforward. It isn’t complicated (apart from the engine!)

    This is going to be interesting. A mazda built in Japan for the home market and a Datsun built in Japan for the USA market (yes I know yours is UK spec). When they are finished wee need a head to head comparison, Regardless of faithful resturation or RestoMod status.
