Curious as to why my engine mounting bar, rear control arms and Front Transverse links are orange (just bought the car).

Weltmeister, if i'm not mistaken ...
The painted stuff is not original, my guess would be PO.

As my ex used to say, "Better to be a smartass than a dumbass". 
Why paint them?

Probably some super rare factory option making your car a museum piece.
Tell your wife that it must never be sold. In fact, tell her that if you die you want to be burried in it.
Also, you must be allowed to spend as much money and time on this car as you need to. Maxing out credit cards, selling kids toys and spending thier college funds if need be.
It is your duty (and hers to support the effort)

Poor guy...guessing you're married? 
Should do it my way...I got the house, the Porsche, two Harleys, my full retirement, my cool-as-can-be 13 year old daughter, and child support.

P.S Know why divorce is so expensive? Because its worth it.

That looks like an old fuel leak. Check your fuel lines, please...

Either the car was originally orange or the bits came off and orange car. Looks like signal orange to me, but I might be wrong on that. Check the paint code on the driver's side doorjam.

Just think the PO painted it orange cause it looked cool and fuel and rust got to it.
Cheetos....
