Picking up Bewber in the am and heading out for a quick drive there have a look see and possibly drive back with a replacement for the defunct Caballero....

fingers are crossed that it will be more than a sight seeing tour... and the car meets its CL listing and is as good in person as it is in the

So I used a heat gun to get it all out and noticed some gunk build up... leaves dirt etc. Cleaned it all out with and flipped the switch and the passenger side works fine, but the drivers side gave an anemic wiggle.

That is the question... As I slowly found out in the weeks after I ~~got ripped off~~ bought this car, my red Caprice is in need of quite a bit of behind the scenes body work. Most of it appears to have been caused by a leak around the rear windows or roofrack or both. Of course, some of the rust is a result of living in Massachusetts it's whole life.
