Well, this by far is the worst one I have seen that was not broken. I'm guessing this was between days and hours before it let go.
Just bought this a while back and the previous owner said he did not know what it was last done so knew it was needed, but wow.

Timing belt at end of life.

 

Great catch, saved another one.

 

I'd have to agree with you. Perfect timing, so to speak! LOL

 

LOL, Got our moneys worth out of that belt.

 

It's pretty bad and definitely needed replacing. I've seen worse. One Subaru had large hunks of the backing missing and laying at the bottom of the case. That was pure luck it didn't go.
