He must be talking about front drain-tubes and sills/rockers. Sounds like he's okay now.

Thanks, alotawatts. That's exactly what I meant. I don't know yet if I am still leaking, the rain keeps getting pushed back. Supposed to be yesterday, than last night they said a downpour by 10 am today. 11:15 now and I'm waiting... hope it's fixed. I've got all my carpet and padding, floormats and backseat taking up my bedroom space until this issue gets resolved.

I replaced the sunroof seal on Friday. If the flooding continues, I'll have to reseal the front and rear glass.

Greg- I was able to clear the hose (after pulling it inside through the speaker hole) with a short length of wire coathanger with a 90 degree bend in the end, (same tool I use to adjust the valves). I don't have weed wacker line, which is the recommended tool. I got lucky, it was only plugged for the bottom 2 inches or so. Btw, saw a 2002 yesterday at a north valley pick a part with all 4 pieces of driver side trim, don't know what year. No steering wheel. It's on Pendleton near Glenoaks.

Thanx, Brian!
I think I'l wait for it to stop raining & then go there.

BTW, Brian, I'm not sure if it makes a differance or not; I say this 'cause I got an exhaust header & pipe from a square tailight car. I know the motors are the same though.
Back to the question; is the '02 a square or round tailight? Mine is a '73 round tailight model. Thanx,,,,Greg

I don't specifically recall the taillights, but I would guess square. It was a tii if that helps determine year. 2002s are not my thing, so I dunno about them. I just saw it there and remembered that u needed driver side trim and a steering wheel. Engine, wheels and most of the interior is gone already. It's half price day today. They're open rain or shine.

There's also a safaribeige '80 e12 at the same yard. Mostly there aside from the 5 speed. I took the aux air valve. Tan interior.

My name is Ted. Too many manes to keep straight without a chart.

Well, Ted, I guess you know it's been raining since noon, huh? That's why I didn't want to take a chance all the way from L.B.. Thanx for the info.
Yup, name chart needed, sorry for the confusion.
Did you mean you got the tan interior too? Differant sentence changed the thought pattern.
As far as I know any Ti or Tii has racing style suspension; meaning the bottom of the tire is further away from the driveshaft than the top. I think.(neg. camber??) And, I think, four wheel disc brakes. Plus a larger sway bar. They are round tailights w/chrome bumpers & sq. tailights w/big bumpers. Seventy-four was the last year for Tii, plus the first year of the dufas bumper & sq. tail lights. The last year of the '02 was '76. Ti=factory carb., Tii=injection. Greg
