Corvair 1966 Convertible
Orangey not-factory red
Temporary replacement for my wrecked Corsa
New Girlfriend! October 2021
Sharp looking replacement
for the old girl!
If you're keeping score at home,
this is my Corvair #15
This cute but pathetic convertible has serious oil control problems
Only 38,000 miles but trouble from sitting for 50 years
Changed back oil seal, pan seal, valve cover gaskets
Front main seal leaks, rings and valves are shot
Pushrod seals leak so heater is smoky. Uses a quart per 100 miles
February 2023 at 68,000 miles changed filter. Full of crud!
Engine committed suicide February 2023
September 2023: New engine for convertible #15!
October 2023 redo insrument panel
Always "one more thing..."
Baby steps to victory
Duct tape! No kidding!
Duct tape wth bondo!
Two days of cleaning and now
Rust converter
Third Day:
Seat cover.
I am not good with those damned little
steel rings. Zip ties allow for quicker
installation and then can be drawn evenly
from underneath.
Undercoat first pass
Kill windscreen leaks!
Now for some nice new carpets
Life goes on
Scrape & Paint The Navy Way
Scrape & PaintThe Corvair Way
September 2024 New Trunk Seal

October 2025. It's always something
Starting another project
