Let's shift our focus to Angelita's interior, where we'll see the custom sunroof and associated headliner. Both have withstood the tortures of more than forty years of service. If you are familiar with the appearance of a stock Corvair headliner, you'll appreciate the differences. For example, in the stock configuration, the dome light mounts directly to the roof structure. However, with the sunroof sliding back into the area above the dome light, the light must be mounted to the headliner. As usual, one modification leads to another.

Sunroof operation is manual, and is accomplished by pulling down on a rectangular locking lever and pushing rearward. As the roof opens, a wind deflector pops up to control drafts, and the user can lock the roof in any position desired.

The chrome object between the rear view mirror and the sunroof is a compass. Installed during the 1970s, it is in very good condition and does not interfere with the rear view mirror.

Complete disassembly and removal of dash components was undertaken. Everything was inspected, including the wiring harnesses, connectors, and the emergency brake and clutch cables. Anything that didn't pass inspection was repaired or replaced.

Below, we see the result of painstaking attention-to-detail. The Corsa's custom green exterior color is carried into the car in the speaker grill and center dashboard areas, the metal areas of the door panels, and in the carpet and custom floor mats. Note the original (optional) telescopic steering column and sport wheel.
