Saving A Cosmo - ITS PAINTED - Richards L10A Resto

[@RestorationCar24]

What an incredible restoration journey! 🎨🚗 Watching the Cosmo come to life with a fresh paint job is truly amazing. The transformation is so satisfying to see, and the effort put into restoring Richards L10A is impressive. 🛠 It’s always great to witness a classic car being brought back to its former glory. Can’t wait to see the finished product! 👏🌟

[@TheTorkerman]

The painter could only produce a great result because of the excellent base you gave him!! Lovely work.

[@notevn]

The base was good but he has done a really nice job with the body and paint, very impressed.

[@deankdx]

Great update! It's always a treat when I see a new video, even if It's just a walkaround of the current progress.

[@asantos84]

The Painter/s who did the work on the car must have been very happy with the base you provided them. This is the perfect example of how to complement each other. All the hours of furstration and pain are easily forgotten when you see the the body in one even colour. Great job sir. Happy new year

[@notevn]

It's super rewarding to see it look this good. Thanks mate happy new year to you too

[@lauriedooker1031]

Love the cosma shape . Beautiful

[@donesser7155]

There’s a guy in England doing a Cosmo too.He’s got one, you’ve got three. Incredible to see such a rare car under restoration. If the other guys looks as good as yours, well I’d be surprised. Beautiful work you’re doing.

[@Specrotors]

Happy New Year bud, continue the excellent work 👌...The L10A looks amazing

[@notevn]

Happy new year to you too mate , it has come up really nice.

[@AntonyBrotherton]

That is one sick looking cosmo can’t wait to see it all built up merry Christmas and keep up the fab work. Yours is one of the best metal fab channels on KZbin 👌

[@notevn]

I can't wait to see the interior/ trim be put in, going to be a really nice car.

[@69MazdaR100]

Wow! Cosmo looks amazing, and I’m loving the Datto’s as well! Great work mate.

[@notevn]

Come up a million bucks didn't it. The dattos have my heart but the mazdas seem to be taking over the shop 🤣

[@69MazdaR100]

@ yeah I’m torn between my R100 and B110 Coupe, ive had the R100 since the mid 90’s so longer than my kids 🤣

[@Vinegar_Stroke]

So good to get another vid from you! Love this channel mate. The cosmo come up a real treat youve done an exceptional job 👌

[@notevn]

Thanks mate only a quick little update but the painter has nailed it, very nice job.

[@PhilboAE71]

Amazing mate! I can't imagine how proud you'd be of that result. So rewarding. Missed your videos, but take your time, you've earned it 👍

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, it's been a long road but seeing it painted is very rewarding.

[@leighharron]

Looks unreal Nathan, the paint is a great complement to your work. Your Cosmo looks so cool, as does the coupe!! Looking forward to this year’s content. Happy New Year to you and yours 👍☘️👍

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, it looks great doesn't it. Mine is the polar opposite haha the black sheep of the family 😅 but will be great to see them both at the same event one day knowing i have built the majority of the shells. My coupe is my favourite car,just so much time redoing previous work when I've outgrown that skillset each year 😅 There's a lot that's been filmed just very time poor for the editing side of things. Happy new years mate!

[@chrissax5477]

That‘s sooo wonderful!! Awesome! My god … every panel on the car is so straight! Just wow! 😍😍 Love your work! It‘s very inspiring! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@notevn]

Thanks for watching😁

[@adinlouw]

Richards cosmo came out really really stunning. Pretty sure the vids and pics dont do it justice. Thanks for keeping us updated.

[@notevn]

It looks very nice in person, a small update but a fair amount filmed for all builds,just time poor for the editing side with so much going on

[@FenderRealm]

Credit to you for bringing it back to life. Looks amazing! Well done 👏👏👏

[@stephenschofield2836]

There's a phrase Nathan, that we rarely use over here in England. You sir, and the lad who's thrown the paint down, have totally kicked the arse out of that Mazda. It's better than new mate, it's effing gorgeous!! Well played, and a Happy New Year to you guys

[@notevn]

Thanks mate happy new year aswell, it has turned out really nice

[@leonardmort3216]

you do absolutely amazing work and the end product reflects that.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, it's turning out very nice.

[@bobfrankish8883]

Totally superb job. It is a car to be proud of for everyone concerned.

[@notevn]

Absolutely it's something I'm happy to have been apart of and can't wait to see it finished, one to hang on the wall 😁

[@b-boystancehonda3228]

Top job, your skills and attention to detail are incredible. Love you videos, honest and informative.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, glad they arnt too boring 😅

[@ianwebb4286]

I really enjoyed your videos

[@notevn]

Cheers for the support!

[@animal_engineering]

Looks killa, love the headers that style is what I based mine off for the LS. Happy new year bud

[@notevn]

Cheers man, yeah I originally made the headers like 5 years ago but was unhappy with them so I got him to remake them and the rest of the exhuast, came out better than I expected.

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Looking like a bigger shop is coming!

[@notevn]

Haha I wish, more room means I'll just fill it with more junk, is 5 waiting in my other garage 😑 taller and wider shed would be nice for a better layout (mezzanine)

[@trevorbozzer4562]

Fantastic work on your part led to a much better than factory finish! I worked for Mazda Canada in the 80’s so I have a very good understanding on this. 😮You nailed it Nathan. Just wish you were here in Canada and I would have you resurrect my ‘84 GSL-SE (had it now over 20 hrs and she needs the love) …a lot of work but a heck of a lot less than the Cosmo. 😬 Keep up the master class work and can’t wait for your next videos. All the best to you and your family and a very happy new year from Calgary, Alberta Canada

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, for sure it's better than factory finish, just looking at brochures and unrestored examples in meusems really shows how terrible these cars final fitup and finish was. We are looking to move overseas to escape the heat here... so who knows 😁 Happy new year to you aswell mate

[@h-j.k.8971]

Hard not to fall in love with the Cosmo.

[@gary6361]

Stunning work. That Cosmo is show car standard! Love watching you shape metal, your skills are amazing.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, the painter has done really well on it.

[@davidparker9676]

Amazing results on the white Cosmo. Your work is top tier, I love your work ethic and attention to detail.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate it really came up nice and will only look better as more things are assembled. The interior/trim will really compliment the car.

[@Lifeswicked]

Amazing work bro! keep it up

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, appreciate the support!

[@unavailable8681]

wow, that's stunning! If you hadn't shown us how rough if was before resto, I wouldn't have believed it.👏👏👏

[@notevn]

I think the next update or once it's assembled I'll do a little montage of the start to finish as its easy to forget just how much was remade and repaired.

[@bleizbreizh6264]

Inspirational work and outstanding result!

[@notevn]

Thanks mate

[@marciabaldwin2506]

Happy New Year, my friend cosmos looking absolutely gorgeous. The excellent body work skills play their part to the paint, which is the icing on the cake ❤

[@notevn]

It has come up very nice, as yes you can't have one without the other for this end result, he has done really well on it and already has another car lined up im restoring this year that he will be painting.

[@richardneale6058]

The cosmo looks absolutely amazing dude absolute credit to you and your workmanship its flawless 🔥🔥

[@nickceffy4314]

That has come up amazing! It’s a credit to you

[@notevn]

Just laid the ground work,the body and paint make it look great

[@ADudesRotary]

The cosmo sports looks incredible, would love to see it in person 1 day. The r33 widebody will be a treat just looking at the panels you have made. I hope you had a great festive season and look forward to seeing your work through the year.😊

[@notevn]

It turned out really nice, keen to see it assembled further and driving. The 33Gtr will be a pretty big job it has a lot of rust to sort and pieces to make, already have the first video of it filmed, finding the time to edit and upload them is the hard part 😅

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 Thanks for the update and happy holiday to you and keep doing the great work 😊

[@notevn]

Thanks mate you too, i will do

[@matthartley7333]

That’s all you buddy, outstanding ❤

[@notevn]

Full credit for it looking as nice as it does goes to the bodywork and paint man, i just made sure what is underneath isn't a timebomb haha.

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

That car looks awesome painted

[@notevn]

It Came up nice

[@johnboy384]

Thanks for the video. Cosmo looks flipping gorgeous mate! Happy New Year and all the best. =)

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, appreciate the support and happy new year to you too!

[@marcing7684]

Spectacular! What a gem

[@paulglover3275]

WOW just WOW the finish is only complemented by the the ground work , this cosmos will be outstanding when finished and your talent is absolutely amazing👍👍. keep up the great work and videos and Happy New Year .

[@adinlouw]

Yeah Boy!! HAPPY NEW YEAR NATHAN

[@notevn]

Happy new year mate, hope this one's better than last 🙃

[@eduardogarcia3049]

Glad to see another video!

[@notevn]

Just a quick little one to update, more normal videos to follow in the coming weeks

[@Matthew-x9d]

Amazing work Sir.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate!

[@mej6519]

all the graft on richards cosmo, has really produced wonders mate. and merry xmas to you n yours and happy new year.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate merry Christmas and happy new year to you aswell

[@mej6519]

@@notevn i bet richard is proper chuffed with the results mate.

[@ericcartman9634]

looks great keep up the hard work

[@notevn]

Thanks for watching mate I will do

[@georgeclements2742]

Best wishes for 2025. I look forward to seeing how you projects proceed.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate you too, my projects progress slowly unfortunately 😅 they don't pay the bills

[@stephenyoud6125]

Looks awesome. I was a bit surprised when this showed up in my feed as I’m following the resto by Yorkshire Car Restoration and thought WoW they’ve jumped ahead !!! But obviously not. But shows what’s coming. Great job on the painted Cosmo

[@MichaelPeters-sl3nd]

I'm doing the same, but I think the NOTEVN's workmanship and level of detail in the builds is far greater than that of Yorkshire Car Restorations. It's has been interesting to see how the different individuals go about their work. An eye opener.

[@danielwatson2910]

Looks great

[@notevn]

Full cudos to Mick he done really well ,made it look a million bucks.

[@garypoulton7311]

All your perfectionist work really pays off here, its really nice. Compared with the blacksmith restoration yorkshire classic cars are doing on the same body, you are Micheal Angelo. Fantastic work

[@paulbateman3001]

Looks great probably better paint finish than when it was new lovely

[@notevn]

Absolutely, much better than how it rolled out of the factory.

[@puma4646don]

Absolutely incredible work as always mate, gotta feel amazing ending the year with that completed and looking that good. Never miss a video when you upload, seriously the best content and you've inspired myself and so many others to have a crack, so don't feel too bad for not uploading or taking your time, we're just happy when you do. As a complete side note, what would be the best way to get in touch if someone was wanting some work done? Keep it up man, can't wait to see the Mira content this year too 😊

[@hilbilchillbil]

❤ clean as a whistle

[@notevn]

Thanks mate it's coming up a treat

[@testpilot6456]

A work of beauty , no less. Although the body restoration needs to be right for the end result that we see here , some very nice work on your part.

[@notevn]

Absolutely, I just made sure the foundations were right,the bodywork is why it looks as good as it does.

[@samperras]

Clean mate clean

[@type64jj]

Wish there was a kit to convert a mx5 to one of these beauties .

[@notevn]

They are suprisingly Very similar in floorpans and design, as I've shown in previous videos.

[@Ke26.20v]

Nice man

[@T3glider]

Life getting in the way of life. Enjoy the chaos!

[@notevn]

Clock seems to spin at double the speed these days 😅

[@JohnMurphy-fx9rq]

Hey buddy, I’ve got an r100 that needs some work. Are you taking jobs on??

[@alco4181]

What did you say about the skyline? Is it going to America?

[@notevn]

Yep the 33 GTR will be restored, built and shipped to the states, sporting a active garage widebody and the full PRP Catalogue, being built by Dahtone Racing 💪

[@greyhorse1211]

Upspeak..🤨
