@@GT380man But I like the music and the expansions are spoiling it. I don't mind him stopping to explain every now and then but all the time over the music... Nah
It's so refreshing that you own up to mistakes and show them. I can watch you all day and can't wait to see the Cosmo finished. I do hope that others are learning from the shop so the workmanship is continuing to be passed down.
I live in Ireland and the thick bastards at the MoT (NCT) place failed my car because of holes on the underside of the driver's door. Had a look myself and it turned out they were drainage holes. Exact same shaped holes on the passenger's side in the corresponding places. Clowns. Your fabrication work and explanations are outstanding, young man.
Brilliant stuff Ryan. Great to hear some of the work explained. Perhaps a description of some of the tools and machinery and what they’re used for would be a useful addition. Keep up the great work.!!
I love this car, such a great shape and you are going beyond to save it, car archaeology! Amazing work. I can't believe Mazda built it this way it's a real head-scratcher....Built to rust!
This is definitely my favourite project. Something really wholesome about seeing a guy cut out rust upon rust and replacing it with lovely hand crafted panels. It's coming on nicely now but plenty more to get your teeth into.
That arrangement of repairs was impressively understood and rectified, 11/10 from me! Looking forward to the front wing repairs, that will be fun!! Great work, joy to follow, thanks for the effort to put it all up.
Yan, that's some very impressive fabrication & welding skills you have demonstrated .......this Mazda Cosmorestoration is definitely NOT for the faint hearted! Keep up the great work! 👍🔥👍
This is a fascinating series of videos that really demonstrate your skills in bringing this car back from the dead. The construction of the body seems quite complex with lots of water traps. I guess when new it wasn't rust proofed very well as none of that rusty metal seems to have an remnants of paint or rust proofing on it. I seem to remember Japanese cars of the 60's falling apart even quicker than the extremely poor offerings from the UK manufacturers.
this video was one of the best vids so far, the narration was great to listen to and made much more sense now to see what you are doing and making and learn a bit from it aswell
What I'm seeing here is an understanding of metal, and the popular unit construction/production techniques of the 1960s - 1970s. The challenges of metal repairs to this Cosmo is daunting, to say the least. Fascinating to see the progress here. Decades ago, in the Upper Midwest of the US, making patches and panels was a necessity to banish rust. I recall a 1969 Camaro Convertible that taught me more than a few lessons, followed by a Volvo Amazon Kombi and a 1956 Cadillac Sixty Special. I learned to love working metal and the lessons learned were essential. When I moved to California in the mid 00s, I focused on 1970s BMWs. This demonstration is Artistry at an entirely different level.
if anybody EVER wonders "why auto body repair/restoration Costs SO Much"?? strap them to a chair and make them watch This Episode. Just Flipping Amazing....
That was the most ludicrous complex A pillar. Brilliant work as usual, no idea how you managed to unpick all those rotten panels to make sense of it all……
Watching your hands making pieces from the metal sheet it's amazing. You have learn the rules of the "Old School" very well and your videos are an excellent way to keep it alive. How many Sharpie's do you need in a car?. Congratulations Ryan ✌💪
Hey, it's Major Katsuragi's car from Evangelion! Looks like the catastrophe it went through was the Third Impact... Thank you for rebuilding this beautiful car!
Great progress chaps. Couldn't help think, you could do with a mini cup wire wheel in a die grinder to get up them nooks and crannies/corners. Work nicely in a battery Milwaukee angle die grinder 😉
That's a good portion of a 1000x2000mm sheet spent repairing just one corner of this car.. I donno how much the source price for 1.2mm is but 5-6 square meters of 0.9mm at source price cost me a pretty dime. Starting to see why there's so few Cosmo's left, they've got a lot of structure in them and kudos to Mazda for that. But the engineering, design and fabrication decisions in how all this structure is constructed and assembled wasn't the most thought out, rusts very easily, and complex shapes, the way you can barely get an angle grinder in there makes it tedious to reconstruct!
That L shaped door hinge fastener and the way it is held in place really shows that a Cosmo is a handmade car... It's such a simple solution that only makes sense when the whole thing gets welded up entirely by hand anyway.
Hy Ryan I see you use the drill for your holes for plug welding, why do you not use an air punch will it not be easier. I see your videos from Italy. I was in England and did my apprenticeship there. Carry on the good work.
Hi guys, can you tell me why you haven’t invested in a metal hole punch? All the drilling you do would you not be better off with a portable hole punch?? I watch every video you make and wondered why you spend so much time drilling whilst holding on to the panels when a hole punch would do the same job in seconds. Just a thought guys, love the work you do as I used to do the same work.

I pressed twice🤣
The voice over explainations of what you are doing are a great addition to the videos. Fantastic fabrication work as ever!
No it isn't. It's annoying.
@@Sageh44Ratio’d, perhaps turn sound down?
@@GT380man But I like the music and the expansions are spoiling it. I don't mind him stopping to explain every now and then but all the time over the music... Nah
@@Sageh44then put your own music ona nd mute the video
The voice overs are a nice addition. Keep up the good work YCR
The skill you have with metal is unbelievable, you are one hell of a sheet metal worker , 10-10 , love from Scotland
Love seeing the cosmo again, but the sheer amount of work that this car needs is insane
Love the voice over, and i am sure it stops detracting you from the monumental task you are winning. Great series and NOT a BMW!
Thank you so much
This is not professionalism, it's artistry... Love from Belgium.
Absolute master at work, I much prefer the commentary!
It's so refreshing that you own up to mistakes and show them. I can watch you all day and can't wait to see the Cosmo finished. I do hope that others are learning from the shop so the workmanship is continuing to be passed down.
Well that was 40 minutes of my life not wasted really enjoy watching everything you do
Haha thanks so much!! :)

Your fabrication work and explanations are outstanding, young man.
The partial voice over style is great
Your level of patience is insane, cool seeing it coming back together.
I can't say anything else that not been saying in the comments. I love watching even though I don't do cars like this.. Great job Ryan... 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻
Brilliant stuff Ryan. Great to hear some of the work explained. Perhaps a description of some of the tools and machinery and what they’re used for would be a useful addition. Keep up the great work.!!
Damn that’s some repair / reconstruction work you’re doing. Can’t wait for the next episode
from a 64 year old metal worker , I like your work ,great .
Really enjoying this build and the way you have edited it with the voice over.
Crack on mate
Awesome, thank you so much :)
So, we now get tremendous skill, interesting content, great production of music and explanation. Onwards and upwards Ryan. Great stuff.
It's amazing how you patch these cars back together
I love this car, such a great shape and you are going beyond to save it, car archaeology! Amazing work. I can't believe Mazda built it this way it's a real head-scratcher....Built to rust!
Happy to enjoy some cosmo content. Progress is making its way
Brave man to successfully tackle this - legendary guy
you are a magician fantastic work
one of your best videos I think - crazy to see that being rebuilt
You must have been working all weekend to make that much progress Ryan!
Now this car have a realy New life🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
hahaha luving the crate of old-times-sake/pattern panels
Haha, can't throw them away! Just shows what it used to look like :)
A Heroic effort
Really enjoyed this one. 👍
This is definitely my favourite project. Something really wholesome about seeing a guy cut out rust upon rust and replacing it with lovely hand crafted panels.
It's coming on nicely now but plenty more to get your teeth into.
Fantastic craftsmanship, it really is a joy to watch. Can't wait to see the louvered panel being fabricated.
That arrangement of repairs was impressively understood and rectified, 11/10 from me! Looking forward to the front wing repairs, that will be fun!! Great work, joy to follow, thanks for the effort to put it all up.
you handle such complex geometries with ease, you work just flows
Thank you so much! Piece by piece we will get there!
Den 👍habe ich noch nie Vergessen, bei diesen genialen Arbeiten müßten es ganz viele sein, von mir
für euch.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯
Not too bad mr Ryan making those panels
I think you have been doing this a while now
The voice over stuff 👍👍excellent way to go I think
Another brilliant video Ryan.
I had work done to my dad's Capri! However! I don't think it was to this lelvel! The is where it shows your level of skill! Bravo!!
And you call Smee's car 'Patches' ! Best wishes.
Yan, that's some very impressive fabrication & welding skills you have demonstrated .......this Mazda Cosmorestoration is definitely NOT for the faint hearted!
Keep up the great work! 👍🔥👍
The skill you have with metal is unbelievable
Great viewing. You will have pretty much built the body shell from the ground up by the time you're done.
Bravo.
Nice panel 👌
Great work Ryan.
Voice over works a treat.
Amazing skill and workmanship, masterclass. Great video really enjoyed watching.
Excellent video Ryan. Incredible skill and I really like the voiceover.
Another well spent 40 mins watching this video .
Do love the fabrication work
Thank you !
It’s so satisfying seeing a metal master executing a succesful repair. And this car needs a lot of them.
Thank you! And yes it certainly does!
Great work.

A lot of work done Great job Ryan!!
Thank you so much!!
Building a new car using a rusty pattern missing many pieces. Truly amazing. You must excel at a jigsaw puzzles😊
Haha sounds about right! I am glad we have some rusty reference points though :) and yes I do like a good jigsaw :)
@yorkshirecarrestoration And you have a wonderful personality through it all (VGL too)
Fantastic save of a very rare care 💌
Thank you! We will get it back on the Road soon!
I love your work!
the cosmo getting some love, awesome
this video was one of the best vids so far, the narration was great to listen to and made much more sense now to see what you are doing and making and learn a bit from it aswell
It's absolutely fascinating to watch what you guys have to do when it comes to your work load! Bravo to you ALL!
Looking forward to the next one already
2 vids in 2 days. Love it.
Epic installment...

From PA.USA all I can say is what an ARTISAN you are it’s simply amazing
Will you guys keep this car or sell it when it's finished?
Pure class! 😊
“All the grinds welded down” 😂👍🏼
if anybody EVER wonders "why auto body repair/restoration Costs SO Much"?? strap them to a chair and make them watch This Episode. Just Flipping Amazing....
Love seeing this work LOVE Mazda Cosmos!
That was the most ludicrous complex A pillar. Brilliant work as usual, no idea how you managed to unpick all those rotten panels to make sense of it all……
At each time I find your work amazing and I don't know enough words in English to express my admiration for your skills.
Thank you so much 😀 that is very kind of you! Your comments really do help :)
Wow, a pleasure to watch your work on the car. Thank you!
What an awesome format this is, truly an enjoyable vid. Can't believe how much progress you've made in just a couple of vids.
Watching your hands making pieces from the metal sheet it's amazing. You have learn the rules of the "Old School" very well and your videos are an excellent way to keep it alive. How many Sharpie's do you need in a car?. Congratulations Ryan ✌💪
Thank you very much! It's certainly a challenge but we will get there! Many holes in this car! And I have pickets full of them 😅
Hey, it's Major Katsuragi's car from Evangelion! Looks like the catastrophe it went through was the Third Impact... Thank you for rebuilding this beautiful car!
Excellent work Ryan
Real fantastic work you do! So impressive! Cant wait for the next episode
I want that Manta A.....❤
Thanks

❤ amazing... can't stop watching Ryan 😮😊
Thanks Tim!
Do you think you will ever get time to finish one of your own cars before starting another one. Great work you definitely deserved a like thumbs up 👍👍
This is one if our cars :) hoping to be finished soon! And thank you so much!
That L shaped door hinge fastener and the way it is held in place really shows that a Cosmo is a handmade car... It's such a simple solution that only makes sense when the whole thing gets welded up entirely by hand anyway.
This section of the Cosmo was worse than the hell hole, definitely a great rebuild.
Awesome work
Brilliant!
Thank you!
Brilliant work
Thank you!
Would love to know how many hours went in that repair, that was insane
holy rusty mazda floor pan rian !!!! what a mission . who was the sheaky so and so poking you with a welding rod ?
Hy Ryan I see you use the drill for your holes for plug welding, why do you not use an air punch will it not be easier. I see your videos from Italy. I was in England and did my apprenticeship there. Carry on the good work.
Brilliant as always 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Can’t wait for the opel manta build I used to own one
Great viewing and fascinating content - Epic restoration
Not bad Ryan!! You will be pro at this 1 day😂EXCELLENT work m8 this cosmo was definitely fit for the bailer class work and skills m8 😊
🤣🤣 thanks so much! It will be done soon!
I am always in awe with what you achieve. I’m no expert but I’ve never seen anyone else tackling this kind of job to this level.
36:36 - ah, there you are. The good old 'Barry gurn' song :D
That repair panel is amazing, so complex and yet you make it look easy
Hi guys, can you tell me why you haven’t invested in a metal hole punch? All the drilling you do would you not be better off with a portable hole punch?? I watch every video you make and wondered why you spend so much time drilling whilst holding on to the panels when a hole punch would do the same job in seconds. Just a thought guys, love the work you do as I used to do the same work.
Awesome 👍
I demand the next episode now…….please !😉
This is best work yet. Love the voice over explanations as well. Do the sills also need water drains further back toward the rear of the car?
Thank you so much! And yes they do
Wicked 👍👍
