When not stored right things do rust well in the UK!

Especially the horn!

Oh she is a sweet heart I am sure. Just look at that smile. Congratulations.

Best thing I ever did:)

That must be one slow Studebaker with a VW engineX)

It went great, an endless stream of fun and exciting memories. We had a convoy of 5 old Triumphs and lost one of them (not pictured) at 4500ft up in the Swiss Alps. We had fixed the cooling system 3 times and thought we had it licked but it started overheating during the climb. With no place to ...

I think it's time for you to return to owning a Studebaker

I was just in Rowlands Castle and Portsmouth this summer. Nice area, far enough away from London.
I picked up this old Triumph and then drove it all over the UK and through 10 countries on the continent.
Congratulations on a great Corvair and a lovely family.

Great looking Silver Hawk in the best colour combo! The 53 Starliner is probably one of the nicest looking coupes ever made? Yes the GT is a very grown ups car, but I love it

must be really rare in the uk as well

There are surprisingly many in the UK compared to Corvairs

Dam it! I was hoping for another member:P

Yes the GT is nice! Arrived from NY of all places (rust gamble) but at least this was undercoated when new and not after a lot of dodgy rust bodging!

Where about in the UK are you?

Wow that's amazing job your done so far! You still have the Studebaker? If so we can have the UK Corvair Studebaker club

I did a clock for a friends 59 Caddy, but I recon it's probably same mechanism in most GM products I wrote a little about the service here: https://mitka.co.uk/2018/08/10/service- ... ker-clock/

I understand! At least you got a lot of welding practice for your new floors in the new car

How about turning it into a Rally/Race themed car? Roll bar to stiffen the thing up... Easy for me to say who's not got it in the driveway

What to do with a Corvair? Throw a V8 in the back!
Great build looking forward for updates:)

Very impressive work so far! Hows the build coming along?
