The console hinge is a common problem. If you have all the parts you can try using epoxy to glue it, or replace that portion of the console. The console consists of several different pieces, but finding someone with a good storage compartment and broken rest of console may be hard. You can post a parts wanted ad here and on 442.com and realoldspower.com All three sites have free parts wanted ads. You can also watch ebay as these consoles come up pretty often, but ebay can be expensive sometimes. The water leak, you might check the windshield frame near the dashboard. If it has a rust hole you may not be able to see it without pulling the stainless trim, or maybe even the glass. I have seen cars without rust anywhere else have it around the windshield.
