Wow, thanks for the info snook, sounds like I really scored with this one. I'm on the southside, near Baymeadows and San Jose. Sometimes I call her the Blue Bomber but my headlight doors are clear. It's got bad respray on it a couple shades darker than the Silver Blue it's supposed to be. Easy to pick out for the foreseeable future - no passenger seat and rust holes in the floor. Anybody know a good bodyshop or welder?

On a related note, Thursday I'm taking it to Lee and Cates off Lem Turner for a new windshield seal. Probably a new window too if/when it breaks coming out or going in (~$670 total est.). Pretty sure my water problem is almost entirely from the gaping holes in the front gasket. A guy named Walter McKinney at that particular store (manager actually) was recommended as having done installs for Brumos over the years. Seemed to know what's what, as he wants the car first thing in the a.m. and said he may have to keep it all day. He did mention using an aftermarket gasket but I said no. Hope I didn't put him off by it, but I want it super-right. Last of the PO's didn't seem to do a damned thing on this car correctly, when they bothered at all. If I knew then what I know now....
