Wow. It must be a kind of extraordinary passion to have original parts shined up like they were just used for the first time at the assembly plant, for example the door hinges. I wish I could have gone to Sevenstock this year to witness this beautiful Cosmo in mid-restoration and go through all the detailing it has been through. I am slowly working my own restoration of an 82 RX-7 myself so I can relate to a restorer's passion. Hopefully it will return in the future to be displayed. I will definitely subscribe to this thread to read future updates!

OK... new progress pics. New rear window glass installed. Glen said it took several people more than 2.5 hours to install.
Also installed Dynamat throughout the interior as well as the gas, brake and clutch pedals.
Let's see.... I think the MAZDA emblems on the back are a new development as well, but not quite sure.
Interior coming in the next few weeks. Then fire it up for the first time. Not sure exactly if that will happen before Christmas or not. We'll see....
That's all for today!!!
Edit: In checking through some prior posts of mine, it does appear that the pedals and emblems were already installed, however I think he had to pull the pedals and reinstall to do the Dynamat, but don't quote me on that.

OK everyone,
Here we go. All car chrome came back last week fully replated. Turned out amazing. Interior will be back within a week, so the current schedule for car completion is sometime in February. Anyway, here are the pics that Glenn sent me over the past 2 days. Enjoy!!

Thank you soo much. This is truly a work of art. When i saw the pic of the chrome layed out it reminded me of my cosmo model when i built it. is the rotor m badge a remake or one of thoughs original parts glenn had. If its a remake were did he get it?

From what I understand, and don't quote me on this, but it was the original emblem which he had rechromed, then there was some kind of "baking"process to reimpegnate the "blue" that you see in the middle of the emblem. I guess that NOS versions of that emblem are an extremely rare find, hence the reason why he had it rechromed and refurbished himself.

Thanks Rich. Yea, I feel pretty lucky (and spoiled) having Glen right here in Phoenix. He's done some paintwork for me on my FD (CYM). He's fantastic to work with and extremely accommodating whenever I request an update on the Cosmo project.

Nice Como! Cosmo mike, RCCAZ 1 is not the owner, he is the man who is generous enough to provide this thread.
I understand your car has a 12A fitted. If you want to restore the original 10A please PM I can get you some NOS engine parts.

Thx both.
Toyo Kogyo: Yes its a 12A. I tried to keep it as close to the original as possible (Point ignition etc...). And it is more reliable for regurality rallies. 10A in Greece is non existent! But thru internet I managed to get many parts. As soon as I start the 10A project (... and I will!) I ll PM you.
