<VV> Body Transplant

[corvair at mb.sympatico.ca]

When I bought my '65 Canadian Corsa Cvt (140/4) the body was on sawhorses in a farmyard and the rest of the car (meaning: everything that could be unbolted from the body, minus the stuff that had gone missing over the years) was in a trailer 200 miles away. That was in '96. I expect to drive it before fall but it won't make it to the convention this year.

It cost way too much and I'd never do it again.

Is there anyone on the list who has taken a Corvair body (no power train, no
brakes, no suspension, no interior) and "inhabited" it with Corvair running
gear to create a whole Corvair?
     If so, please raise your hand and tell us what it cost, and what you
consider it to have been worth.
     It sounds to me as though it could be more-difficult than repairing
SOME rust damage, even IF you have all the right parts to completely outfit
the new body right on hand (say, in the car whose body is being replaced).
