Latest update from Glenn:
"Just a few teaser photos, getting pretty exciting!!! Have the dash in with all gauges, all of the lights work, blower motor works, power antennae and radio work ,horns work, engine turns over really nice (dont want to put gas in it until ALL of the electric is done. Need to figure out why the wiper motors dont work as well as the turn signal flasher must be bad. Waiting for a new windshield washer reservoir to show up so I can wire that. Need to locate new wiper relay and flasher and Im guessing that will cure those. Then its time to call Ricardo and put some fuel in, check for leaks, and fire it up! Zoom Zoom! Then a wheel alignment and on to the next project!"
Almost there....

"***It's ALIVE***"
After more than 20 years dormant, once again, Glenn's 1967 Cosmo Sport is ALIVE. Just a few more fixes to exhaust leaks and some carb tweaking and he'll be good to go!
Check it out!

No offense to any other Cosmo Sport/110s owners this is absoluetly the nicest one in the world. My hat is off to Glenn if only to have 1/10 the skill and passion he has.

Tim here... sorry I haven't PM'd you back. I'll try to do it this weekend. Maybe we can head up to Glenn's house in the next few weeks to check it out! I'm sure he wouldn't mind showing it off to another rotary enthusiast like yourself!!

I have seen this work of art
Hello
Glenn has afforded me the privilege of seeing this work of art. This is not a car anymore!!!
This is by far one of the most interesting examples within the history of Mazda's Rotary line up. The level of attention to detail put into this project by Glenn is beyond description. I cannot even begin to put into words how amazing this project looks.
I knew I loved the Cosmo 110S before but had never seen one in the flesh. After this visit, it is now officially my favorite Rotary of all time. The fact that Glenn's example is the best restoration of any Rotary that I have seen and probably the best restoration of any vehicle I have seen (and I have seen it a lot) sure helped.
I also need to add that Glenn's work on all his other projects is by far beyond perfection. I feel like and wish I could buy ALL his cars in his garage that he has worked on.
If I was to restore anything, I would certainly not look elsewhere.
Regards and thank you Glenn.
