Saving A Cosmo - Making The Rear Bar & Dropping Car Off To Paint

[@thelonelyfisherman9797]

Mate,your work is impeccable!I've been watching yorkshite car restoration completely hack job a classic cosmo!those guys are hacks!

[@smokinrotaries]

Been watching their cosmo resto while waiting for notevn to drop another video. If I was having a car restored I'd happily pay Nathan 10 times as much to do it. In saying that I'm sure their car will come out looking beautiful

[@TheKapeeteeleestPeeg]

This is the best car resto channel on KZbin... The craftsmanship and attention to detail is mind blowing! Keep up the great work mate!

[@notevn]

Thanks but Very far from the best mate , a little care goes a long way when doing repairs.

[@AudibleMyopia]

Just found your channel from Yorkshire Car Restoration doing a Cosmo. Got bugger all done today as I caught up on all your work. Love what you’ve done, bloody brilliant mate!

[@ADudesRotary]

Thanks for sharing this build with us, it has been pretty impressive watching you shape and restore the bodywork on the cosmo sports. You have to be pleased that you have given this car a chance to survive and drive again and with your focus on overcoming poor factory drainage should see the bodywork last quite sometime. 😊😊😊

[@notevn]

I'm keen to see this car painted ,fully assembled and driving on the roads! The other two will be a much longer journey as they are not complete cars and will need to be pieced together slowly as parts pop up.

[@jamesdisney9150]

Why is nobody commenting? This guy is very interesting. Keep up the killer sheet-metal work

[@bobfrankish8883]

I have the same thoughts. Only 7.4K subs, and quite possibly the best restoration work to be seen anywhere on KZbin. When you consider this is just one young man with tools that he has made himself, it's just unbelievable the skill level and quality of finished product.

[@maccoretti51]

He's literally building the ultimate OG rota. The stance is insane. And on top of that he can fabricate anything. Humble off the charts.

[@notevn]

It's all boring and primitive POV filmed videos, people want to see action, multiple angles, a crew in the shop with banter,not just one guy wandering around his shed rambling haha, the views/subs will never increase doing this kind of work and videos it's extremely boring to most people, you need to do quick/easy fixes or 3 years of build in 10 minutes to reach the attention span of the average viewer.

[@notevn]

Very far from the best but thanks for the kind words, filming things as one person is probably the hardest part unless you want to spend half your day setting up a tripod, I like to just rip in and is why I miss a lot of "during the work" shots because I'm just too "in the zone" to stop and set up the camera haha.

[@puma4646don]

@@notevn I really appreciate the format and style you film and edit in, it's always informative and interesting, I actually am engaged the throughout whole video unlike other people who I'll put on in the background, don't be discouraged, your work is incredible and I'll always love seeing a new video from you pop up man

[@deankdx]

How's things? I was reminded by Yorkshire Car Restorations video out today that you had finished one off and were looking at bidding on parts and stuff.

[@notevn]

Crazy busy and very time poor for editing videos haha, have the next lot of ones for the year underway with a few episodes filmed just not enough time to sift through the footage and upload😅 Yeah I've made a good chunk of panels for my one, sourced a front and rear glass,door handles,headlight assy and bootlocks, just on the lookout for complete doors at the moment as making them from scratch is very uneconomical

[@lowspeedhighfun]

This cosmo restoration has been super interesting, thanks for posting! Must've taken a lot of time to film&edit this series.

[@notevn]

Thanks for watching, it does take a bit of time even though the videos are primitive, but it's worth it to properly document it and give the owner the best understanding of what's been done.

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

I'm amazed that you reproduced that rear bumper, you are extremely skilled. I love watching your videos.

[@notevn]

It came up suprisingly good,Seeing it chromed today was very rewarding.

[@antonh2533]

Please don’t stop uploading your work! This is great stuff

[@tnpshow]

Legendary work mate. loving the journey!

[@notevn]

Thanks for watching man, will update more as it progresses though the paint stage.

[@antonh2533]

Love your videos! Great talent and interesting projects!

[@Doogs90]

Awesome, good to see it all together and ready for paint prep. Keen to see your Cosmo come together and the next coupe iteration.

[@warrencauser1198]

Amazing work again nice to see that the Cosmo is one step closer to being finished.

[@TheTorkerman]

I mean, it one thing to make a panel section that will have multiple layers of primer, paint, clear etc with sanding in between, BUT to create a full bumper from scratch to a standard that can be chrome plated…. WOW, Seriously Awesome work mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@notevn]

Thanks mate I was very impressed myself after seeing the bumper chromed. The chromers were also very happy with it and have my number for any other bumpers that come out of the tank looking like Swiss cheese 😅

[@RotaryBern]

Luv the pacing on your videos, keeps one interested the entire time without getting bored. Killer work!

[@notevn]

Thanks mate I try to make them not too boring and repetitive.

[@leighharron]

Lovely stuff, always great to watch the method and overcoming singular issues.👍👍

[@notevn]

Thanks man

[@ocean5377]

Well done maestro , always a pleasure to see the technical videos Great to see a master at work

[@notevn]

One down...two to go 😅

[@amircogs]

You are the champion! LOVE your work!

[@notevn]

Thanks for watching man

[@J2B3]

Its amazing to see all that you do. I've been following you on instagram for many many years and always been a big fan of your cars and intricate metal work. Been meaning to watch your youtube for a while now and finally started this week. spent the whole week watching every episode and I truly appreciate all of the detail you show in your videos, your thought process and how educational these videos are. Your videos are getting me motivated to do the rust repair on my Soarer I've been avoiding for the last couple years. Can't wait for the next video man 🍻cheers P.S. I think some NOTEVEN "Happy Days" merch would be rad haha.

[@trevorcourt2306]

absolutely loving these videos.

You're a magician!

Thanks mate

[@kimj2770]

I really like your tenacity not to be beaten

You can't give up

[@TheosEpicVideos]

Been a while since I tuned in mate. Amazing stuff that you’re doing. Still can’t believe that there were only 343 of these built.

[@bleizbreizh6264]

Incredible work. You made that bumper look easy! Your work on this car has been inspirational.

[@notevn]

Thanks for watching mate the bumper was easier than I expected it to be.

[@chrisshorman522]

Fabulous work. That's one expensive rear bar. Impressive how you worked that 1.6 material. Love your videos. Thanks!

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, suprisingly probably cheaper than buying one considering they don't ever pop up for sale being so little of them made, so for around 2 days work i think it turned out okay.

[@jackraven5768]

killing it as always man!

[@notevn]

Cheers man, less time watching videos and more time working on that ute haha

Thanks mate.

[@jayinmi3706]

Amazing. I've watched a lot of car resto/fab videos and I don't think I've ever seen someone build a stock bumper from scratch!

[@notevn]

Although I had always been curious on making a bumper I honestly didn't think I'd be self learning how to make one that week when I got the phone call to say the bumper isn't chromeable haha.

[@floydbecnel3434]

Giving up is not an option! I admire your drive and workmanship. Mind over matter. Keep up your great work.Greetings from Louisiana.😎

Amazing work man, you're making it look easier with every video.

Thanks for watching, I am most excited about receiving that car back in my hands to finish it

[@mattnoyes7729]

Holy moly that's impressive, bloody complex shape and thick metal...great job

[@notevn]

Thanks mate it was more forgiving to work with as it required twice the force to move around.

[@hilbilchillbil]

Really liked how you made the bumper 👍

[@notevn]

Thanks mate it came up decent I think

[@iancrawford2822]

Nice work there, top level restoration. Very watchable, looking forward to the next episode whatever the content may be.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate,the videos would be less primitive if they are my own stuff as I'd have time to set up the camera better etc.

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Top notch Mate!

[@notevn]

Cheers mate

[@firstnationsindian8062]

It's always enjoyable to watch your videos. Your metal fabrication is quite high. I don't think you know how good you really are. Thanks for taking the time posting.

[@notevn]

Glad you enjoy watching. I am slowly getting better each week but still very far from where I want to be, a few more years of work and I might be happy with the results I produce.

[@JohnMcGillivray-u4b]

Really nice work with a great attention to detail. It will be great to see the finished product. Keep up the good work.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate, im also looking forward to seeing it transform into a painted and assembled car, will keep the updates coming.

Great work mate. Super impressive.

[@dennisbjones]

Excellent work on that bar mate. Do you have an idea what the chroming will cost? (and where you get it done, I think you are local to me and I need some chrome work done).

[@notevn]

Thanks man, it came up decent. I think nowdays it's close to 1000 a bar... last time I got bars done it was around 350 a bar back in 2014 😅. Pacific Plating is doing all the chromework and polishing.

[@TaupakiRotaz]

Star sharks ❤

[@notevn]

Timeless wheel but I feel just don't suit the cosmo as much as other cars

[@TaupakiRotaz]

I’ve got some for my Rx3 favourite wheel

[@spencereagle1118]

Wow, that was really impressive. I'd reckon there are only a handful, if that, of KZbin restorers and fabricators who could have pulled that off.

[@notevn]

Thanks mate it was deff a long haul and not a 5 minute crafts spec repair usually seen on here.

[@keithrx3c]

That is such impressive workmanship mate, is there anything you can't do?

[@notevn]

Cant seem to finish my own cars, stay on the most priority task , a lot actually 🤣

[@animal_engineering]

working for free is always a hard pill, HA HA. Absolutely Killa works as always, you be the Cosmo guy by the time you get yours and the other messed up one done. I need to pick your brain at some time on how you dropped the MX5 base down, my Porsche is way too high even with the BC"s set as low as than can go.

[@notevn]

Has to be done though, have to own your mistakes and hope you don't make them again in the future😅. Yeah man just pm on ig, pretty easy process.

[@jumma116]

Awesome work mate 👌 can I ask what your hourly rate is ?

[@adinlouw]

Seems like a 20B will fit in easily....😊

[@notevn]

Haha I wish, the steering rack is infront of the engine so that's as far forwards as the engine will go and it's super far back, adding another rotor would put the shifter extremely far backwards.

[@adinlouw]

[@michaelmoesgen3674]

super

[@TaupakiRotaz]

Can you run the dented bumper through the die might be able to save it

[@notevn]

The chrome finish would need to be removed first to get an accurate look at the metal underneath, easier to just remake it. 2 days of work
