As an old Mazda rotary racer (FDs), I must applaud the amazing work you guys are doing to save the Cosmo. Anyone else would have crushed it. Major props to YCR !
Hello 👋 Ryan and Steve and everyone..this was pure joy watching you do your fabrication. I could watch it all day and night. My there is a extremely amount of work that goes into this and it takes a extremely smart guy to know how to do it..
Loving your work! I came to metalworking through furniture design. Learning tons from your fab fabbing techniques. For the weld thru holes, you should get a Whitney punch. So much faster and cleaner than drilling.
Amazing work, Ryan 😮 metal origami ❤, so much rust!, 😮 but it's so worth restoring... Cosmo catastrophe!,, 😅😅😅 good to see Steve at work 👍 cheers boy's Tim the Taffy living in the sunshine coast Australia 🇦🇺
Just got onto this channel, just blown away the amount of fab getting done. Amazing neat work. That lazer tho, they are getting to us quicker than I imagined. I need one. Masters at work right there.
The more I see of these videos, the more excited I am for you start on my car, I cannot wait to see how it turns out. Keep the Brap (only a Rotary nut will understand) alive!!
Seems like only a few thousand miles separates us, but, we both spend our days & nights with cutoff wheels, scribes, markers & welders. Bringing back collector cars one inch at a time
Wow I found that the Japanese voice track is available! but... I don't know why, somehow it keeps saying like "Heh, heh, heh" during your hammer work. Sorry I couldn't stand laughing. Anyway, it is mostly helpful. Thank you and keep up the good work! Cheers👍
I have a rusty old boat that needs restoring. It's not quite as rusty as the Cosmo though. Do you think you could take it on? It's called "Titanic". 😂😂
I was watching Jay Leno the other day and there in the background was a cosmo . absolute pristine . there is probably a video on it as he has one for his many cars
While the lazer is super handy (and wish I had one) the fact is in this day and age the best thing one can do is have the entire body dipped and chemically stripped and then later ecoated after metal work is done... especially on something that's already swiss cheese. Cuz theres gonna be hidden rot that you don't see now that will eventually come through years later.
You were maybe right but they have already been saying something like that tipping is not taken into the consideration due to the fact that liquid would get between the panels causing issues after the fact. I don't know if it would be an issue or not.
I saw a very sad looking mazda cozmo sitting outside a house on my way home today, i wonder if they are following your "tutorial"- checking and refabing all the rusty spots.
So I'll just say the same thing everyone else has said (only differently): any other car might have gone straight in the bin, but as long as you can still (mostly) read the vin, then a Cosmo is pretty well worth building from pictures n drawings! And you've got way more than that!! Cheers from Canada eh!
Do you think you should have braced up the shell before you start cutting the crap out of it A dip might have been better that sand blasting at least all those inner panels would have been treated
Bad as this is, it's not anywhere close to the Datsun. At least you aren't finding 3 layers of bad patches, this all looks like original rust. It is so satisfying to see you cut out all that rot and replace it with shiny new metal, never get tired of it.
you have to have a LOT of patience and resilience with these ongoing rust repairs, every repair seems to be 4 or 5 separate repairs all in the one spot and you still haven't won the battle....
Just to say I look forwards to your videos every time, and you never disappoint with the energy and skills you show time and time again, fantastic and so calming. KUDOS
That's tough... so much rust. Excellent work it's great to see such beautiful rare car being restored. The laser cleaner is a cool tool to have! I guess it's quite similar to a laser welder just with different optics?
Congratulations to your confidence, bravery and skills! I‘d sink to my knees, suck my thumb and cry like a baby if I had to do this never ending frustrating heap of metal work… good luck, and thanks for your fascinating videos! 😮 👍
It shows here in the Netherlands too: Japanese cars are TOP quality bar rustprevention…. Understandably so as 95% of their products is sold in the far East where rust is not much of a problem. Still a shame that the Dutch importer of, for example, Toyota didn’t have their (at least High End-) products protected with a Dinitrol treatment. Of a dozen Dinitrol-Rustprevent Stations here in the Netherlands I believe only two are still in business, mainly protecting Classic Cars….
Gents, Such a great work done 👌 Great presentation 👍 Rust therapy 😁 One wish though - put those dinitrol products thet you use in description. And the tools you use. Will help us a lot. BTW - I restored Alfa Spider 1972 - 25 years ago. Treated with Dinitrol ML - not a single bubble came out. Great product all the way 👍
I guess this is what happens when a manufacturer makes no effort to do any rust proofing. Not just Mazda but most manufacturers from the mid 60's - early 70's. Great work though and you will have a really nice car when this is all done.
Stage 5 rust cancer....! I would have given the Cosmo a decent burial, but seeing this "restoration" (a complete re-build)...Just wondering if you use the same gauge of sheet metal as the original car maker, it looks much thicker.
Wow, that car really should have been chemically dipped . My Volvo 1800 was almost that bad and I really should have chemically dipped it, but issue is nearest place to me is like 400 miles, and shipping companies wanted over $10,000 EACH WAY to transport the car. That’s clearly the “piss off, we only want corporate customers” price.
I bet at night when its quiet in the workshop if you listen very carefully you will hear that car slowly rusting away! You have a challenge ahead with that one.
If it were me unearthing the rust on rust as I removed the panels I would be heading for a darkened room with head in hands and in need of a lie down and some therapy, unlike you who casually removes the panels with glee and excitement.... ooh great more rust😅

My favorite project of yours, by far ! Love the Cosmo.
YCR's Mazda Cosmo: Handbuilt twice.. 😂.. Greetings from South Africa ❤❤
Avevo perso la speranza di rivederla
That laser anti rust device would have been useful on the Disaster Datsun a couple of years back , amazing work as ever Ryan
So much shape-making sorcery. It is crazy to witness your ability to bend flat metal into these 3d shapes.
The footage the job the songs. Such a therapeutic masterpiece. Great job guys

From a Civil Engineer to Restoration Supremo - hats off to you Ryan👏
Outstanding work - beyond my comprehension!
amazing work there young fella me lad, uncovering all that rust, game on, itss a proper tea bag
Loving your work! I came to metalworking through furniture design. Learning tons from your fab fabbing techniques. For the weld thru holes, you should get a Whitney punch. So much faster and cleaner than drilling.
Wouldn't be a Mazda without a bit of rust! I once saw an RX7 FC with rusty windows. No joke
Jesus what a shed I guess you must really love this car ! Great work Ryan cool vid you got some skills dude 👍
Never seen so much death wheel action in my life!!!

Brilliant work YCR
Very interesting to watch those complex multi-layered corner sections being recreated.
An unfathomable amount of patience and a bucket load of “turd polish”…!! I take my hat off to you Ryan.

i thorght the porsche 914 was wow , but this is .....wow !! increadable work
The Michelangelo of metal working !
When I was in junior high school, I saw the same car. It was also used in the TV drama "Return of Ultraman".
I have a rusty old boat that needs restoring. It's not quite as rusty as the Cosmo though. Do you think you could take it on? It's called "Titanic". 😂😂
Thank you, I've missed the Cosmo. Great job, as usual. 👍
Nice work Ryan👍
your a very cleaver lad you do a great job cant stop watching have a happy christmas to you all
there you go again guys Ryan with the blunt drill bits
Well done saving this beauty
So much work! But the cosmo is so worth it!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was watching Jay Leno the other day and there in the background was a cosmo . absolute pristine . there is probably a video on it as he has one for his many cars

Maybe there is too much rust that would cause the contours of parts to be destroyed?
You were maybe right but they have already been saying something like that tipping is not taken into the consideration due to the fact that liquid would get between the panels causing issues after the fact. I don't know if it would be an issue or not.
Woo hoo, Cosmo content. Glad this build is back again. Anything on the disaster Datsun?
Rust under rust under rust. Nothing seems too hard for you. 🎉 That car is in the right place.
So many rust 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. But I believe that everything will work out.. 👍👍👍
Love your work!
Ballabing-Ballaboom to U2….
Great job, great channel, great music.

I saw a very sad looking mazda cozmo sitting outside a house on my way home today, i wonder if they are following your "tutorial"- checking and refabing all the rusty spots.
Where are you from? If its anywhere near the UK then please pm us on insta or Facebook if that's ok?
@yorkshirecarrestoration essentially a random place in Canada.
Incredible work right there ...enjoy watching this series....thanks for taking the time to share
You are spoiling us with all this catastrophic Cosmo content. Great stuff and really enjoying it.
日本の旧車を直しているのを見ると何故か嬉しい、
後のカウンタックがカッコイイ
Great job.
So I'll just say the same thing everyone else has said (only differently): any other car might have gone straight in the bin, but as long as you can still (mostly) read the vin, then a Cosmo is pretty well worth building from pictures n drawings! And you've got way more than that!!
Cheers from Canada eh!
Do you think you should have braced up the shell before you start cutting the crap out of it
A dip might have been better that sand blasting at least all those inner panels would have been treated
Amazing work as always! I think there might be more rust than car! With the sills, are there any drain holes to allow water to get out?
This is really a car that deserves the enormous amount of work required to bring it back from the dead...
Great to see the catastrophic Cosmo again! This project is wild in scope.
Bad as this is, it's not anywhere close to the Datsun. At least you aren't finding 3 layers of bad patches, this all looks like original rust. It is so satisfying to see you cut out all that rot and replace it with shiny new metal, never get tired of it.
I fully expect the next project video to be: "Watch YCR build another Mazda Cosmo from this stack of sheet metal"
Cosmo FM. Nothing but Rust!
you have to have a LOT of patience and resilience with these ongoing rust repairs, every repair seems to be 4 or 5 separate repairs all in the one spot and you still haven't won the battle....
On the quest to find metal, holy what a mission
harder than the HOLLY GRAILEL on that thing
How is it with the mats armstrong bmw ?
What thickness material do you use; it looks thicker than the original.
Restorasi masda cosmo
Fine! During your lunch break you can eat parts of the Cosmo in a sandwich, very crunchy 🙂
Great Fab work as usual Ryan and good to see Dad back on the job. Now, where’s the Escorts?!!
If onions could rust, this is what it would look like!
That is some serious work- brilliant
Bloody amazing, Ryan!! 😮

Rust bucket =NO
Rot box =Yes

It's dotted with light dots like the cosmo
日本語音声をありがとう❤
Tell me if you knew before starting this project how bad it was would you still take on this job ?
Amazing work !
Avevo perso la speranza di rivedere la cosmo.
even tho this car has more rust than the porsche, it appears like it is not as much of a fight.
It shows here in the Netherlands too: Japanese cars are TOP quality bar rustprevention….
Understandably so as 95% of their products is sold in the far East where rust is not much of a problem.
Still a shame that the Dutch importer of, for example, Toyota didn’t have their (at least High End-) products protected with a Dinitrol treatment.

Is this YCR’S financial disaster equivalent to Schmee’s 914!?
Gents,
Such a great work done 👌
Great presentation 👍
Rust therapy 😁
One wish though - put those dinitrol products thet you use in description.
And the tools you use. Will help us a lot.
BTW - I restored Alfa Spider 1972 - 25 years ago. Treated with Dinitrol ML - not a single bubble came out. Great product all the way 👍
Perché tanto tempo senza la cosmo?
Hi, great video 😄 Why do we sometimes see Dinitrol 443 and sometimes 444?
I guess this is what happens when a manufacturer makes no effort to do any rust proofing. Not just Mazda but most manufacturers from the mid 60's - early 70's. Great work though and you will have a really nice car when this is all done.
Like Triggers broom 🤣🤣
Top work Ryan
Thanks so much for the continued support Dan!
@yorkshirecarrestoration ok Ryan mate
Brilliant as always
Stage 5 rust cancer....! I would have given the Cosmo a decent burial, but seeing this "restoration" (a complete re-build)...Just wondering if you use the same gauge of sheet metal as the original car maker, it looks much thicker.
The Mazda should be called patches
Shouldn't the title read "Cosmic amounts of rust......." ;) I'll get me coat 🤣🤣🤣
The amount of lead and tin you must take in the lungs grinding old cars. T__T
an old datsun = 50% rust and 25% filler, there is not much left 😳
Why don't you get it chemically dipped to remove all the rust and body filler? It'll save a lot of time.
nice work
Strange you’re working on the floor and not very high.
Was soll das wenn die Musik läuft das gequasche mit Hitze Hitze
Wow, that car really should have been chemically dipped . My Volvo 1800 was almost that bad and I really should have chemically dipped it, but issue is nearest place to me is like 400 miles, and shipping companies wanted over $10,000 EACH WAY to transport the car.

熔接がまぶしいぞ
You’ve got to cut and replace one piece at a time or else you’d have a puddle of Mazda on the floor 😂😂😂😂😮
First😂
Legend :)
Bei so viele Löcher, muß doch ein Schweizer Käse neidisch werden.
I think this one is worse than smees Porsche 😢😢
Got my pop corn and lemonade so I’m set 😂😂
It’s a Mazda. The only way they could be more rusty is if they had literally manufactured them out of actual rust in the factory.
Hi. Do you use a special paper to make templates? Good videos. Peter. Tasmania
I bet at night when its quiet in the workshop if you listen very carefully you will hear that car slowly rusting away! You have a challenge ahead with that one.
If it were me unearthing the rust on rust as I removed the panels I would be heading for a darkened room with head in hands and in need of a lie down and some therapy, unlike you who casually removes the panels with glee and excitement.... ooh great more rust😅
