Corvair Turbo Corsa Convertible

1965 Turbo Corsa Convertible Project
In December 2006, this rough but complete Corvair Corsa was purchased as a Christmas Present/Project for one of my daughters. As the project goes along, we'll do our best to keep it documented here.
	Dec 2006 Even though it doesn't look like it in this shot, the car is complete. It had been disassembled by the previous owner several years ago for restoration but, as many projects, never got done.
	A rear-side view reveals the condition of the car. There are a couple of rusty places but nothing serious. The body panels are straight but there are a couple places where we'll have to do some re-do of previous less-than-perfect body work.
	The engine compartment had been the primary residence of a rather large family of packrats for who knows how many years. This is the cleaned up version. The engine will have to be removed and cleaned up before any attempts to make it run. The cooling fins will be clogged with who-knows-what.
	The interior was stripped out and ready for a complete restoration. The telescoping steering wheel was a nice bonus. The Chevrolet tissue dispenser will be returned to the previous owner as it was not part of the deal.
