>>     Second try (mozilla stopped responding as I finished writhing this
>>     the first time)
>>     I went to see that Rocco today and I had to cringe.
>>     Aside from cringing: Its a '84 8v.
>>     Back to cringing: First thing I noticed is the driver side Window
>>     <http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/142779/Window1sml.JPG>,
>>     lock, and panel
>>     <http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/142779/window_lockSML.JPG>.
>>     This is Oregon; it rains here, almost as much as Seattle
>>     (sometimes). The driver seat is moist, and the back seat has water
>>     <http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/142779/waterSML.JPG>. Looks
>>     like the person responsible for the window decided he wanted this
>>     <http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/142779/centerDashSML.JPG>.
>>     And a couple little things are missing. Such as the spinning knob
>>     for the windows.
>>     As a plus it has a moon roof, and power side mirrors. And there
>>     are studded tires in back, possibly with rims. The current rims
>>     are golden and look "basically" like these but older, and golden,
>>     and the spokes crossed each other.
>>     Overall this looks stock, not entirely sure what to look for that
>>     might be non stock, but the dash, and gauges look like pictures I
>>     have seen.
>>     Another thing, is there supposed to be metal showing behind the
>>     headlights
>>     <http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/142779/FrontSML.JPG>?
>>     Some info that I got off the VIN:
>>     A 2dr. deluxe made in Germany, at the Onasabruck factory, in 1984.
>>     And "lowest output gasoline engine", not sure what it means.
>>     I guess I wont be able to use this as daily driver until I get all
>>     (or at least most of) that fixed, so instead of trading the tempo,
>>     I'll try selling or parting the '78 Lincoln I've been tinkering
>>     with. I doubt any of you would want it, but if so give me a holler
>>     Oh, ya, until I figure out what the name of the color this is (the
>>     same one on at least 1/5 of all cars out there), we are calling it
>>     Milktoast.
