Very nice looking car. Were you able to start it up and take it for a spin? Just curious did you try the wiper door out? It looks like one of the vaccum lines is not connected on the actuator. No biggie, an easy fix.

I had someone check the car out for me(have not seen it in person myself yet). it was 2200 miles away. really wanted a southwest car to minimize potential rust issues.
you called the wiper door right too...previous owner put in new lines,motor ,actuator,and switch for me before he sent it on its way
