Introduction - Saving A Mazda Cosmo & Quad Rotor RX3 Build Part 1

[@adinlouw]

The cosmo sold it for me. Here for the ride mate. You got my sub.

[@wazzazone]

Me 2 from Wollongong.

[@kungfuclutch2788]

This could be my new fav channel

[@derekhobbs1102]

I would have clicked the like button, but it was sitting at 510, and wasn't going to be the person that ruined it.

[@derekhobbs1102]

Now I've done it.

[@wazzazone]

What's with 510?

[@derekhobbs1102]

[@Specrotors]

New favorite channel 🤘

[@andrewdunbar828]

I really enjoy watching rebuilds of rare and classic basket cases and lost causes. I don't think I've ever seen a Cosmo, even in Japan.

[@notevn]

I had never seen one until I took the job on, and then was contacted to take on another and then I somehow ended up owning one 😅 crazy to think about

[@melbice9906]

So glad I found your channel. I’d reckon you’re one of the most talented fabricators/ restorers on KZbin, even in this early video your attention to detail is next level. Bravo and I wish you much success 👏👏👏👍👌🇦🇺

[@streddaz]

Holy shit man, that Cosmo hardly had any left to hold it together! Big ups for taking a job like that on.👏🏼

[@notevn]

Haha it's probably the rustiest car I've seen in my life, i was definitely not at the skill level to be taking it on when I did.

[@streddaz]

@@notevn well, you are doing an amazing job. 👏🏼

[@OtakuGarageAUS]

I go away on holidays and come back to this news is the kind of news i like to see. congrats on the first video keen to see more.

[@HUNTINGNT375]

Mate what I just watched, I’ll be keen to keep watching

[@D4VE26]

Ls s14a fronted stagea tow rig is the coolest combo I've seen in a longgggggg time! 👏

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, I wish it wasn't so cursed and I could enjoy it.

[@DriftSquid]

Congrats man, this will be unreal to follow! Seriously hope you stick with it. It will pay off ten fold for you bro.

[@notevn]

Cheers man

[@rjnation5042]

Glad you saved the Cosmo but wow isn't it a wreck, you've got a subscription from me just for that project,

[@Doogs90]

Legend, great to see this detail coming over to KZbin from your Insta. Thanks!

[@mattm3703]

Awesome! Finally, someone that shows how to actually do all the work. Looking forward to more of your vids!

[@notevn]

I try to show all the things that arnt shown without being too boring/repetitive , if I've already shown how to do something in a previous vid I tend to be brief with it in the next video as to not repeat myself.

[@kashisking3370]

Already know this is my new favourite channel Im a car painter an do the same types of cars 😊

[@Michael-ho4ft]

Some quality cars there! Another metal shaping channel called "Make it Kustom" is good if you need ideas for the point of view filming. Keep up the good work 👍

[@andygnad9272]

Shot bro have been in awe of your work on IG for years, big fan of this 🍻

[@CanberraChickenWings]

Sweet man good job, your attention to detail is nuts

[@deanmarskell1518]

Cool channel my friend, like the cosmos restoration here in the UK Yorkshire car restoration (I recommend it great guys) are rebuilding another cosmos and facing the same issues that you are. ♥️😍

[@rch13z]

Long time watcher, first time commenter… you’re an absolute beast - your willingness to self-teach & grow is astonishing

[@notevn]

Thanks mate only way to learn is to have a go, what have you got to lose.

[@deankdx]

Great video and channel, just watched part 2 of the cosmo also! definitely cool seeing the shapes come together.

[@jeffreyvanerp98]

Dude, I've been following you in Instagram for a few years now and I've just came across this video, I see you already have some regularish videos so you've definitely have a new describer in me!

[@NorweldAustralia]

So cool mate, Watching the progression over the years has been a blast.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate. Come a long way but so far from where I want to be still !

[@markussjodin515]

Great work dude! Found your IG randomly a few years ago and have really enjoyed your content. Love that you finally started making YT vids! Keep up the good work🙏

[@matthartley7333]

Great video, looking forward to lots more

[@vzrman]

Your work is phenomenal. Well done.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate

[@codyrankin3577]

So keen to follow your builds, the stagea is my personal favourite so I'd love to see that get resurrected one day

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, one day it will recieve some attention.

[@YEAGUDS13]

Could watch this all day 😊

[@notevn]

Thanks man

[@expdtn3328]

I’m surprised that cosmo diddint crumple into 3 pieces when it was lifted on the hoist. I hope you save it mate 👌

[@HDRAus]

Awwww fuck yeah! You’re right 1min clips isn’t enough but now I get to see it all and in the detail I crave! Onwards and upwards mate 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@TheosEpicVideos]

This is a great channel. Came back to this video after seeing Jays rotary on his channel. Straight up, I reckon (time permitting), do the work and run some clear audio over the top narration style. The work is amazing and out of bounds for the average KZbin weekend warrior. Excited to follow the journey of the cosmo’s and to learn the techniques and what is actually possible on restoring and retro modding a vehicle. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@notevn]

Thanks mate yeah the first video was phone microphone and now I use Bluetooth headphones and it seems to be clear as.

[@TheosEpicVideos]

@@notevn - that’s a great idea with the headphones. Would make editing later heaps easier. Mate is pressuring me to start up my channel so I’m being critical of things that I like and don’t like in the channels I watch. He has his own channel and business off the back of the channel. Love your work that you’re doing. It’s not the glory stuff that a lot of channels focus on. It’s the grinding it out, learning the lessons and getting it right. I see heaps of value in watching channels like this. An expert is someone that has made all the mistakes.

[@shirtz69r]

Fantastic work mate. Am following and will spread it around

[@notevn]

Thanks mate

[@sawblade9362]

Wow im excited When i first started working i had to sell 2 13b bridge ports 12a bridge port and my 83 datsun ute so i could pay to do my papers biggest regret of my life....

[@69MazdaR100]

Thanks for the recommendation Low Standards, this channel is my jam just like yours ❤️ Very excited to see more considering I have similar cars in my collection 👌

[@mozzaplaysgames7897]

Been waiting for this for far, far too long. Find your work some of the most mesmerising to watch, Like watching a magician at work.

[@ocean5377]

Young SenSai u do some great work

[@goovoo1408]

Looks gnarly dude keep it going

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

That rx3 cross member was just pure beauty 😍. Very much looking forward to the Cosmo progress.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate

[@badaestheticco]

Yessss! I remember sharing the Stagea with my mates ages ago. Super keen to watch this channel grow and follow the wild builds

[@stevenJEDI3]

So impressed mate your skill set is unbelievable

[@warrenharston5886]

Nice work 👍

[@AnorexicWalrus445]

So glad you decided to start making videos! Massive fan of your work.

Just found your channel on my recommendations Nate you're super talented for a young fella ,l'll definitely be coming back to check your project progress ❤ your work man👍

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, videos are primitive atm but will get better.

[@richo220665]

@Notevn All good 👍 they're better than some others I 've seen, and I have no doubt they 'll get better

[@vickturorteez]

Best Datsun 1200 coupe in the world... hands down

[@notevn]

Thanks mate I wouldn't say best. Maybe most modified haha

[@jdmcarcollection7263]

great skills mate, thought i seen these cars from jays video

[@matthewmills2665]

Yep looking forward to watching it

[@GTSera]

Awesome work mate, looking forward to seeing some more vids

[@nathanmacready872]

Love the Chanel already. Can’t wait to see the work on the Cosmo. I’m working on my first ever project car ( HG kingswood station wagon). Big job heaps of rust in bad places lol. I’m learning as I’m going and watching KZbin vids to help.

[@notevn]

Best way to learn is to have a go. My main advice is to make all the patch panels before you cut anything out. Cutting it out is the easy part. And it's very easy to make the wrong shapes once it's cut out ,also it might be a week or two between cutting it out and continuing so you forget how it even goes.

[@nathanmacready872]

@@notevn thanks for the advice mate. I would of started cutting before making the patches. Making patches is hard as I only have hand tools and a vice.

[@notevn]

Hand tools are all you need. It just takes longer and it's hard work. The machines speed up the process . There is people in thailand/malaysia doing incredible work , on the floor in an open chicken shed. Crazy as. I Still dont even own a vice haha.🤣

[@Snufflez11]

Finally!! Yes bro can’t wait to watch all this unfold. Well done mate keep going!

Cheers Benny , be plenty of snackin and no lackin 🤣

Fuck yes! Been loving all your story updates for a long time now. Keen for long form videos!

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, hopefully way more detailed and helpful.

[@Bradmag11]

Fuck man, thats wild. On ya for saving the cosmo.

[@mrg1875]

I look forward to the content mate.

[@RyanSmith-zf9qs]

You’ve got a real keen eye for this stuff, enjoyed watching and a bit easier to follow than Instagram 👌🏼

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, yep definitely lose a tonne of important things on insta with no voiceover

[@Iainkellyis]

Great to see you on here, mate. Love your work ❤

[@notevn]

Thanks man

[@afx31_]

Awesome intro! Really looking forward to future videos, more in depth as you said. Followed on Instagram for quite a few years now, always love to see how you tackle the various rust repairs so I can relate it to my own hobby adventures on my 1989 Honda Civic 4WD Wagons.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate. Hoping to help people have a go

[@lxopenfirexl7007]

Man you got your hands full there bro, genuinely looking forward to updates, got a wide variety of builds among the fleet so it should be interesting

Some of the most beautiful fab ive seen. Inspirational for my rusty 'jap spec' xy ute build

[@mathewjon9329]

Mate! Epic stuff man. You have come so far since Kebab King. Loved all your short vids on Facebook and insta. So keen to see the more technical side of things on your new youtube

[@JRITCHHH]

Stoked you've made the move to youtube man!! Absolutely love your cars and all your work 👌

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, took a bit of convincing 😅

[@ndh8445]

I first found you via your coupe thread on JDMST back in the day (would be 10 years ago now) and seeing you start your fab journey was awesome. Have been quietly following on insta for years now, I hope you keep up the videos 🙏

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, come a long way since then and still have a long way to go

[@richardneale6058]

Absolutely phenomenonal work you do... I can see why jays come to you. Well done 🔥🔥🔥

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, pretty crazy car to be trusted with.

[@chrispickard3337]

Very cool! Definitely interested in seeing your progress on the Cosmo!

[@oonfa]

Good job dude, looking forward to this

[@luke_james]

Love ur work mate and all the cars but the stag wagon with the s14 s2 front looks so mint way better then a r34 gtr front it flows so well

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, yeah i can't stand the r34 front on them it doesn't flow at all,everything is wrong the bodyline disappears, the bonnet height and angle is wrong, the wheel arches are different, it's so popular because it's such an easy bolt on type conversion.

[@BuiltByBlake]

Epic mate. Glad to see you on YT, stick it out early on and it’ll pay off for you long term. …still will watch your 5min POV instagram story’s tho haha

[@Andrew260RS]

Soooooo keen. I have been following your Instagram for at least 10 years. Back when the Stagea had a RB25. I will be honest I have been one of the people requesting a KZbin channel. You are one of the coolest and most talented dudes around. Super keen to see more content. Already subscribed. Why did you not try and sell the Stagea after that guy paid and spaced on you. Thanks mate. 👍

[@notevn]

Thanks mate. It got ran up the back of it so I just gave up and haven't even bothered to repair it, sits in the carport.

[@whatisanamelol]

You’ve got it mate. Awesome

[@cooperdunn7746]

Love it mate! I remember going with you and Kris when you first went and picked up the coupe and the skate park sessions! Absolutely killing it ❤

[@NikolaiBlackie]

That cosmo given how far gone would be great for restomod and widebody

[@kyles_customdiecast]

Awesome work!!!skills for days looking forward to future content . That datto 1200 coupe is stunning

This is awesome. I hope the Cosmo gets restomodded. 13b with some nice suspension and wheels. Concourse resto is cool and all. But 10a's are slow and sound like a lawnmower.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate. Yep it's getting modified, there is far too many that are standard and not driven and enjoyed. 13b low and wheels

Hey boss keen to see this unfold! just wondering the size of your shed, looks mint!!

[@notevn]

I think 19x7 from memory. Not tall enough for a mezzanine. 19x9 would be better. Extra width feel less cramped.

[@ashlogan2049]

Great watch mate, rad collection of cars and tools! I'd love to see more on the 1200 coupe - I have one in my garage, a new project with an SR20 sitting ready to go into it. Do you have a build history on that somewhere? Insta?

[@notevn]

Thanks mate , umm I did have a build thread years and years ago for it but it's been cut up so many times since then that none of it is even relevant to its current state. I barely post anything about that car online but there is some stuff on insta about the floors/ bay and such a few years ago.
