Yeah I'd say his is in surprisingly good shape. I was under the front of my car the other day and I honestly couldn't tell you what's holding mine up anymore. Two of the three supports appear to be broken. I'll have to fix that next year pending some decisions lol.

Not really, that's just the angle of the photo playing tricks on you. How does yours look without a ford part holding it up? lol :lol:
I was messing with ya lol. The Ford part doesn't hold mine up.. the bracket I made at my uncles machine shop does haha.

Got the 3400 Z fixed!!!

There was a bracket by the a/c compressor (looked like a bracket for a ground of some sort?) and there wasn't anything bolted to it. It was bent towards the belt enough that it was rubbing it. Unbolted the bracket and cutoff the unnecessary part of it then put it back on...

New belt and she is back on the road!

My awesome mechanic bf put some new lifetime Bosch rotors and pads on my front yesterday.

Got my rear shocks on order, so those are gonna be replaced within the next week and gonna check out the rear brakes. Front shocks are next on the list. Then it's gonna be time to start fixing the little things that need fixing...then probably time for some upgrades! :D

I replaced the front engine mount on the 2.8 on Saturday. I didn't have the proper tools to do the rear mount so the shop can do that for me. I also found out that the battery is dead... like dead dead. It leaked onto my intake piping making quite the mess. I need to dig up the receipt for that battery and get it replaced as it is only about a year old.

And it did stink! And that crap is hard to clean off! Man, it was like trying to scrape off concrete...

As for luck, I guess if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any? :P Stupid dumbass animals.

Well I tried to miss it, but at least the damage wasn't too bad. Today, rolled the odometer over 285k. Over 600 miles since I picked it up, doing well so far.
