No offense intended, get that car off the streets before you kill someone!!
Take it immediately to a qualified brake shop. Either you, or the previous owner have made the brakes a danger to everyone else on the road.
There's NO WAY a properly installed caliper bolt can "fall out".

Whew !!

That's great news for the folks in Austin. Sounds like the P.O. only owned a set of pliers and maybe a screwdriver.

Enjoy your new TC!!

..my next question is what is this blend door i read so much about?

No fair starting a new topic in an old thread...

However, the Blend Door problem is actually the "A/C Electronic Door Actuator Motor". There an electronic assembly (box) mounted to the top of the Climate Control Plenum that moves a door, blending air to the vents.

The Actuator Motor Assy breaks internally and the door it controls flaps around making a sound like a 2x4 on an oil drum. << Italian exaggeration

Here's some references to the problem, and repair:
