Features and accessories EM - What is a must?

Post by Chriggel »

Hi folks ! :wave:

As I mentioned in my introduction post my 63 Corvair has some features and accessories. But I want to expand the list till the car is ready to go on the road.

This is the list of what exits (photos are in my introduciton):
- padded dash (the only factor option according to the tag)
- rear wiper (arm was already missing as I bought it)
- sunroof (the visor doesn't pop up - I think stuck over the years)
- lockable shifter (I could turn the key only 1/8 but shiftrod won't fasten)
- good looking horns, hi and low sound (Italian brand)
- headlight flasher button in turn signal lever
- rear power antenna (Hirschmann brand)
- speedometer in km/h
- different radio housings
- rear window defroster (couldn't find the photo when it was installed)
- glovebox light

This is the list I wanna add to the car :
- swamp cooler (parts already in stock)
- bumper guards (parts already in stock)
- gas door guard (parts already in stock)
- maybe door edge guards
- power windows front and rear (parts already in stock)
- power driver seat (parts already in stock)
- tissue dispenser under dash (parts already in stock)
- vanity mirror passender side (parts already in stock)
- remote mirror driver side (parts already in stock)
- day/night rear view mirror (parts already in stock)
- washerbottle trunk (parts already in stock)
- two point seat belts front with retractors
- clock (parts already in stock, but Impala not Corvair)
- map light (parts already in stock)
- courtesy light (parts already in stock, GM but not Chevy)
- parking brake light
- rear lid luggage rack (parts already in stock, but not Chevy)
- fog lights front
- blue dot fog light rear (parts already in stock)
- automatic headlight dimmer (autronic eye) (parts already in stock)
- remote trunk release (parts already in stock)
- maybe I build my own style center console with cup holder (thanks sparrow)
- radio converted to fm and bluetooth (parts already in stock)
- stereo speaker front and rear with fader (parts already in stock)
- emergency reel light in engine room (parts already in stock)
- trunk courtesy light (parts already in stock)
- hand spotlight

And my qustion is : What would you gals and guys add to my list which I haven't thought of? :cool:

That's a pretty hefty list of options. If you build a center console, cup holders are a must. When you are all done you could call it a corvadilac! My corvair came with only one option, 2 speed wipers.....slow and slower!

Hi sparrow,
cup holder will come to the list. :tu:
Two speed wiper - I got the switch but not the motor. Is it really this slow, I never testet mine before removing it.

I 'll update the list regulary.

Best regards from Germany
