I have a little repair shop. If I looked at this stuff as bad karma, I would have to hang myself.

Definitely repairable. A pro has to do the front box repairs and I have bought the donor nose exterior parts with first option on whatever part/or all of the front box I need (includes windshield on the Targa and Cab).

Yes, Sir. A 2.3L Focus. Not a bad little car. Threw another belt. Too much grease lingering. Took it to the pressure spray place 1/2 mile away on the battery without coolant moving and doused it with Purple Power. Gunk did not really cut the axle grease. Way cleaner but have to do some due diligence cleaning from underneath to not do this again.

Edit - two hours later - Doh! One of my shop mates brought in a screwdriver that I lost in the engine abyss. It was 200 yards from the shop. Right where I heard the odd noise and the belt came off.
