You can re-post the pictures all you want; they are hosted on my personal web server. I didn't post them directly in because some forums get upset if large pictures are linked into a thread.

I'll answer your questions in order.

The ball joint boots on both sides of the car are broken. Given the involved process of replacing them, I will have to wait. I might even need to take it to a shop to have them done.

I have not checked the roll bar bolts but I will when I get home.

I made the mark on the shock for perspective. It is caked in dirt and grease. I had an oil drain tube leak and the PS pump seeped a little from the front shaft but not badly when I bought the car.

I noticed the tire wear as well. The guy put air in them before I brought the car home but probably not enough. I'll fill them to 30PSI; I think that's what they take.

I had an alignment done about 6 weeks ago after I installed the new tie rods but once I replace a few more things, I'll take it back and have them check it again. I might as well use that 6 month alignment warranty.
