Engine bay is very clean for sure. From what you posted the rest of the car is just as clean.

Water leaks in at the back window because the little strips that seal that area fell off(something that happens alot). It is the gap between the top of the door and the rear glass. You can put some windshield sealer in there just under the trim for the back glass.
Pic #3 shows that the strip is not there. That strip does two things: 1. it is for looks. 2. the back of it dips down to seal said area.

the car is veryyy clean inside & out, there's just a few tiny rust bubbles on the passenger side & paint chipping on the back bumper, but nothing too terrible!

&& thanks! im definitely going to check out the window right now.

Hehe, but the GM paint code is Aqua. ;) Nice car btw! There is a 93 GT in the salvage yard here that is that color. Neat color only available in 93 and 94! :D

Need a good used door handle? Otherwise you can still buy them new aftermarket I think.

Just to make it even more annoying, Bright Aqua was a 94 only color. LOL

(I keep having this debate)

That one does look like teal though.. Interesting.

Nice car though! Hope to see more! :D

There was never a Beretta color called teal, lol

Ok Challenge time! One pic is a 93 Aqua, one is a 94 Bright Aqua, but which is which? LOL

That would depend. Daytime or evening pics. Bright Aqua changes color with the intensity of the sun. At night it looks like GTZ Quasar Blue. In broad daylight it looks almost green enough to be a teal. Hence the confusion. And cameras usually don't capture the color correctly either.

Both pics above were taken at the same time on the same day and the cars are parked right next to each other. Figure out which is which yet? lol

Doesn't matter what your title says, at least in my state it doesn't... I put down Raspberry Metallic when I got my car registered and he just crossed it off and put in RED... Hell they didn't even look at the car to verify. I'm waiting to get pulled over one day under suspicion of registration fraud.
