<VV> '65 Evening Orchid Corsa in bodyshop

[NicolCS@aol.com]

I visited my metallic child yesterday, in the body shop.  She's totally 
stripped and sandblasted.  Could someone please put a towel around her?  Yeesh.  
I'm really glad I pulled out the good motor and put an old motor in.  Even 
though the engine is well covered, sand has a way of getting into things.  The 
sandblasting revealed all the old wounds and layers.  Since leaving the factory in 
Evening Orchid, it was black for a while, then yellow.  It's kinda neat, 
going back to the original color because the original EO is still inside the doors 
and other places.  Clarks is working on a new white interior and I'm getting 
really excited.  I suspect that I'll have to sell some more of my stash on 
ebay to pay for all of this, based on the tone and body language of my bodyman as 
he excitedly pointed to all the extra work he has discovered and done.  A 
little ding here, a little hole there, and "we'll just push a little on the 
quarters to square-up the lines on the deck-lid".  Oh-Oh...  I guess it's time to 
start digging into the stash...
