Few new pics that I thought I'd share with everyone. Hoping to get up to Glen's house over Christmas and take a few more pics.

Cheers!

Good progress... Just how I like It, nice and slow... Glen is a master...

On another note if car and driver would have a published a better story on the Cosmo/110. I would have bought a copy... MAYBE, I would have bought all their copies from the news stand... What idiots!... Don't they know the consuming power of the rotary comunity?!?!?!

Latest pics and notes from Glenn...

"Hey Tim...Happy New Year. Here are some exciting photos of the Cosmo fresh from the sandblaster after completing the rust repair. It was primed late today. ready for final bodywork. Looks really good."

I agree... RUST FREE and ready for paint!

What I would do for that car. When that car gets finished it is going to be one of the best looking cars ever built. I love that design.

RCCAZ1, very nice to see the pics of the cosmo as work progresses. Such a nice rare find. Please keep up the pics. Let the owner's know I can help with new cosmo 10A engine parts if needed.

toyo_kogyo,

Thanks for the offer. I'll pass along your message to Glenn. Not sure how often he visits this thread, so I'll email him your message.

Thanks again!

A couple more pics received from Glenn today. He and a few others were guests of the Cosmo Sport Club of Japan in late January, hence the slow progress. Hoping to see a few additional pics in the near future.

Enjoy!

P.S. File sizes of the pics are too large. I'll ask Glenn to reduce them and resend.

Everyone,

Final paint has been applied. Now just a day or two for curing and Glenn will be moving the body shell from the Shop to his house for reassembly. Here are this weekend's photos of a freshly painted Pyrenee white Cosmo.

They feel that the car has all of the required pieces, but it hasn’t run since the mid 1980s. They've sent some pics of the car, but I have yet to get over to their house to check it out more closely. I presume since the engine hasn't run in nearly 25 years that an engine rebuild and carb overhaul will be first on our agenda. I've heard that 10A housings are rare if not impossible to find. Any idea (stateside) where we might find parts if needed. Also, they've never registered the car stateside, so please advise as to the kind of obstacles we'll be facing in this arena as well.

Thanks!
if you wanted to. you could ditch the 10a and throw in a 12a or 13b without too much trouble. but if you're stuck on the single rotor http://www.atkinsrotary.com
they're based around the corner from my house. and they should be able to help you.

Great project..... This thread was the main inspiration for doing a full rotisserie resto on my Rx3, but instead of a 10a I'm going with a NA 20b
