Well, at least the broach marks look good. I assume that first character is a T ?
Overall it looks good to my novice eye - but I’m no expert and if I were buying it I would get a verification from a real expert!

Where'd I say it is”really bad”? Point is rust on the Z bar shows the possibility of more rust up higher so best to get it checked before spending big bucks. NO body knows for sure at this point so better to be safe than sorry. That good enough for ya?

If I go look at the car I’ll take my own pictures. But the pad does not look great to me either, real broach marks are more uniform in width and depth than what I’m seeing..but then again I’m no expert either. Probably pass on this car, but still thinking about it.
