dont know about your electrical but im guessing your soggy is from ttops if you have them or reaal poor window weatherstripping if you dont, my wiper fluid doesnt work either and its a bad motor, you could just buy a universal pump and bolt it to firewall and hook it up, or find a working wiper motor/squirter (one piece unit i believe), as for brakes, take the car somewhere and ask for a free inspection and leave after they tell you whats wrong and try to overcharge you
, all our cars feel like earthquakes so live with it, and finally check the non working speakers and the wiring, might not even be hooked up

and those are very workable and mostly cheap, it could be A LOT worse, rust, bad motor, bad tranny, twisted frame, accident damage and tons of other things that it sounds like you are good on, id keep it
Nothing you can do about the ride quality. Bumps will kick your ***. Make sure that your soggy carpet doesn't smell like antifreeze. If it does, you could have a bad heater core. Most likely though, it's bad weather stripping. As far as your brakes go, replace all the pads with good AC Delco pads. Don't get the cheap auto zone ones. As for pulling to the left, you probably have a bad brake caliper, or a flexible brake line, or both. Either one is cheap and easy to fix. Those flexible brake hoses can look good on the outside, but be crushed or kinked on the inside. They're about $15. When you let off the brakes, it should release the instant you take your foot off the pedal. If it grabs or holds on for a second or more, you need to replace that brake hose. If your right side hose is kinked, it's not letting the fluid flow to the right caliper as fast as the left. Since the left side grabs faster and harder, your car pulls to the left. All these things are easy fixes. As far as your speakers, they may not be plugged in, they could be blown, or you could simply have the fade set all the way to the front. If you have a stock radio, check to make sure that the fade dial is in the middle. Good luck! Matt
