Anthony - Max Merritt or Kanter would have the rebuild kit for the pump. Either of them also would have the correct Carter pump already rebuilt and ready to install. You send in your old pump as a core, and they send the new one. You pay up front the cost of the rebuilt pump + core ($160+160), then when they receive your old pump they refund you the core charge (160). I chose to install a newly rebuilt pump just for ease.

Your roof rust looks similar to what I dealt with. It looks like your car spent a lot of time in a very wet environment. Pull up the carpet and see what's underneath. My guess is there will be some rust on the front floor boards. That's straightforward to repair, the roof not so much.

Love the color combo. And a shame about the upholstery....that cloth is really interesting.
