Car repair advice needed
You have a crappy mechanic. Go find a good one, or better yet, do it
yourself (and use good parts, not crap from Autozone/Advance Auto/Pep
Boys/Kraken, etc.).

Just take one off and take it to either an auto parts store or (better
yet) a hardware store that carries Metric (proforably stainless steel)

Replace 1994 Escort Fuel Pump at 200,000?
I would not replace the fuel pump unless I had a good reason to do
so. 200,000 miles is not a good reason. That and as someone else

Warm up car?
Warming up your car is a waste of gas. Some people still do it

Does anyone make a good shock/strut anymore?
I've had good experiences with both Monroe and Gabriel. I'm not sure

What sort of tape for rust hole repair ?
If it were my car, I'd replace the fender. If you are looking for a
temporary fix, don't do it, you are olny wasting you time. Maybe you
should just remove the fender completely?

CV Joints--Problems / Symptoms
> Do you have any road symptoms?
I was wondering if the looseness I can feel in the axlw/shaft might
