OK!
Parts are arriving tomorrow. I started disassembly today. I picked up a set of jack stands and floor jacks last week and today was my first visit under the car. Sad! It looks like somebody drove it down the highway with out installing the front tires. I have that nice beveled look to the alternator, the tensioner bolt is bent from the lock nut upward. The blades are also beveled. The belly pan is hammered and looks like swiss cheese. This car is going to need a lot of TLC to get back to where it needs to be. Will be spending a week or two just repairing and replacing parts. Wish me luck haven't gotten my manuals yet.

Shane,
What is your front ride height? Mine was 145mm (vs 175min, spec 180+-10), but somehow it still had minimal damage at the front - pan is clean, front tray only a little scraped.
Sounds like it has been driven on unsealed roads a bit?
good luck.
