Unhappy My pooor Vert

Just got back from the shop. It's a mess. Apparently when our dear local Nissan shop did the TB at 115k that's just exactly all they did was the timing belt nothing else. It now has only 136k on it.
The water pump is leaking, all the belts look like the originals from the factory, all the lower timing belt cover bolts look like they came from a salvage yard and are so corroded that they look like they've been basking in battery acid. The rubber crommets that are on the bolts look like they've been extremely hot and over compressed.
I told Jose to just do it all, since we're that far into it. So he'll do the seals tensioner and all the right stuff, plus whatever else he see's and questions.

Guess my suspension work just went on a longer hold.
