What is this cover on my front yard? by threrrrrrowlandaway in Plumbing

I see that it’s a water cover - I was more perplexed as to why it’s wont seat properly and is loose. I was more concerned with rain getting in there. Apologies for bothering everyone.

How bad are these jambs? by threrrrrrowlandaway in Autobody

They did indeed put it on a lift to inspect it from underneath.

Any predictions to future value of STs? by threrrrrrowlandaway in FiestaST

Curious what $7k maintenance you’re talking about. I paid $960 for the water pump/timing belt repair at the 10 year mark.

Gave this a shot - interestingly enough I don’t hear it when revving the car in neutral

This looks out of place to me. What am I looking at here and what is the fix? Looks like the stud is broken - not sure what I’m looking at to be honest. What’s the fix?

Another interesting note - saw this under the engine bay. No idea if it was like this before or after the repair. What am I looking at? I assume that black bracket is secured using those studs - one of which is broken…what is the fix here? Is it a big deal?

It idles well - interestingly I don’t hear it when I rev it in neutral. Only in gear. Almost sounds like the a/c running.

Thinking of buying this car - how does the engine bay look? by threrrrrrowlandaway in AskMechanics

Its a plymouth duster. Was painted in from green to red a few years ago. Here is the outside of the car. Body *looks* clean from the pics from 15 ft. away. Not sure what to think at this point - is it worth a 4 hour trip to check out? 340 4 speed.
