you are doing it yourself, body work probably is the most expensive thing about
restoring a car. And it essentailly an initial minimum fixed cost,
i.e. you're going to invest at least $xxx, whether the car is a Yugo or a
GTO. My approach is to buy the most solid body with
the best paint condition you can afford, and fix up or transfer in the
mechanical stuff. Considering how many good Corvairs are still in hot dry
places, investment-wise, I don't see how it's worth it to fix major rust,
unless you have your own compelling personal reasons. Please,
I'm not knocking anyone here - I'm only speaking from a purely objective, money
viewpoint. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

someone in one of the chapters in the southwest and ask them
about Corvairs that might be available in their area. If you talk to
a chapter officer, I would hope that you'll get an honest opinion. I've
bought one car from Texas and one from New Mexico
from Corsa members. I don't know if my experience was typical, but
after talking to the sellers on the phone and getting some pictures, I
felt comfortable that they were square deals (and they were). Expect
cross country shipping to run ~$1K and you'll get a feel for how much you'll
have to pay.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

thing my car has that I care about keeping is the 140 engine that my son and I
rebuilt a couple years ago. I bought my current body to put the engine
in. Maybe getting a rust free body is cheaper than replacing the rockers
and whatever other body work it needs? What I have now is a great parts
car though. Anybody have any experience finding a rust free body in the
southwest? It would be nice if I could get one without making a trip to
examine it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have been looking around to see if I could fine a better body than the one I

bad. But I definitely need someone more skilled than I to cut out the old

live in Framingham. Due to budget cuts, everyone at my company got
downsized on Fridays for the summer which gives my son and I time to work on
the Corvair. I would like to get the major issue fixed so we are left
