That's awesome!

I recognize that parking lot. I spent many a Saturday roaming around their yard back in my days at Western.

I'm looking forward to your write-up on this project.

 

I want one...

 

Ah, the rust blowing off the pullies, the smoke, and carb overfilling with gas. That takes me back to '98 when I got my '76 Cosmo fired up for the first time since it sat many years down in Oregon. Congratulations!

 

Did you have problems getting parts such as bumpers and trim? With so few in North America, I'm thinking the only option is to order this stuff from NZ, Oz or Japan.

 

Can I have it,just kidding!!!
Had a !975 RX-3 SP Station Wagon
and never got to register it bnecause the
Frount windshield had a 2" crack and never found one.
Good luck with this one.

 

like i said before i might have what you need, I cant remember if i saved bumpers or not would have to look.

Holy thread resurrection!

The Cosmo is still in storage. Just last week I replaced the tarp covering it for the winter, so it's certainly not sitting and rotting somewhere. I'm thinking that this summer is when I'll start working on it. Everytime I go to the yard, I'm excited to see the amazing condition the body, sills, floor pans and frame is in.

 

Just watch, one day you'll come out and some rotorhead will be living it.

First thing he'll say is, "Great body!"

 

so i just watched a thing on youtube of the history of the rx and who else of all people on this forum has one! nice work and hope to see the final outcome. peace

 

So the Cosmo has been in my shop for the past week and work has begun! Videos to be posted soon. I'm going to do a series of YouTube videos instead of long picture threads.

now, you will have some PMs soon. I'm looking for bumpers, headlight bezels and tail lights.

 

Good luck man, cant wait to see it.
PK

 

wow you go at the speed of government.lol
I might have everything you are looking I will have to make a point of looking
in the old barn and another shed that i have parts from 2 cosmo's in
I know i have headlight bezels and tail lights in good shape.

 

I had an RX-7 to work on, you know.

Even if you don't have bumbers, tail lights and headlight bezels would be awesome. Bonus if you also have a passenger front fender because mine got totalled last Friday when the passenger tire exploded (first time it held air in about 20 years).

 

I might have a fender as well will have to look I have to go to the farm to store away my boat on the weekend so i can look then.
not sure how shipping this stuff across canada will work out though

 

Nice, good luck with the restoration, keep us posted with pic as the project evolves.
man, you got your work cut out for you.

 

Awesome find and hope to see it up soon!!

 

I honestly don't care what shipping costs, because the alternative is sending parts from NZ/Oz/Japan. At least Greyhound Freight is cheap for big parts, and the post office is fine for anything smaller then a cubic metre.

Anyway, I'll send you a PM soon with a preliminary list of stuff that I think I need.

 

Ya shipping things from Australia/New Zealand is a bastard. Learned that the hard way building the Rx-4. I'm really not looking forward to building my R100. Maybe we should organize a container from Australia? I could use a bunch of repair panels from Phil's Rotary for the R100.

 

What is a Bumber?..(post #38)

 

something that happens when you swallow a tooth pick. LOL

 

Somthing that happens when you type a forum post while talking on the phone...
