<VV> Body Transplant

[corvair at mb.sympatico.ca]

My Alberta Corsa needed patches in front (fabricated)/behind (vendor) front and rear wheels, rockers, and the rear corners in the engine compartment (under the shakers). And a new trunk lid. And the windshield corners fixed. But the floors and doors were perfect.

Interesting. I had assumed that since mine was a Montreal rust bucket that
it was in rougher shape. Almost every panel had rust to varying degrees
although it sounds like I didn't replace as many panels as you did. I
replaced the floors, the trunk floor, a large chunk of the front around the
headlights and below, the area below the front windshield and lower rear
fenders. Everything else was repaired (with sheet metal).

My interesting factoid is that the rocker panels were in good shape!

Hey Bob,

I certainly hope the body of your car was not rougher than mine. Every
exterior panel of my car has been replaced except for the top half of the
right fender. Ironically, the floors were 100% solid.
