Corvair Forum

Well I did it. Not exactly how the manual described it but worked well and safely. I also figured out how to put them back on.
Larry thanks for the help.

It on a 65.
Looks like I need a lot of planning. I thought I could remove the screws that hold the rods but that does not appear to be the case.
Thanks for the help. Larry

I need to clean the area under the torsion bars for the trunk.
Is there a lot of pressure on the bars?
Do I need to do anything special to avoid problems.

Sounds like a tedious job. I hope to put in the screen as described and try to clean them from the top and bottom. Thanks Larry

I have stripped the car of about everything and plan on sanding the areas I can get to except where the door hinges attach and where the front grill covers. I don't want to take off the doors. I have sandblasted cars before and have trouble getting rid of the sand in the cracks. I appreciate the res...

Just wondering how you cleaned the leaves from this area. Do you remove the air intake grill and vacuum the area out or do you try to vacuum it from the top. Larry

I am in the process of painting my 65 Corsa Convertible and was wondering how other owners removed the paint where the door hinges attached and under the front grill. Looking at something to soften the paint then wash it off with water pressure. Anyone try this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Thanks I will give that a try. Larry

I have a number of trees on my property and the leaves keep getting in the air duct. Is there a grill I can put in or on the front air grill to reduce the build up?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Larry

Thanks for your help. It should make it easier. At least I have an idea of what I will have to do.

Convertible

I am in the process of painting my 65 Corsa and want information on how to remove the grill behind the rear window. I found some information on removing it on a coupe but not a convertible. Any ticks I should know? Do I have to remove the rear part of the top?
Any help would be appreciated. Larry

Thanks guys I will try them. Larrt

Thanks I will probably give it a try. Larry

Can a universal inner speedometer cable be used on a 65 Corvair? Larry

I have a cold water pressure washer and need to clean the heat exchanger and other aluminum parts with the engine in the car. What have you guys used in your cars. I searched this site and read Motohead's post. Has anyone one tried anything different. Larry
