Some more good progress tonight, both chassis mounts are completed and welded to the chassis, and the gearbox crossmember has been modified (to lower the box about 25mm) and the motor and box is back sitting in the car, hopefully in the next few days i'll get the time to cut the right angles on the bits of tube to complete the gaps between the chassis mounts and the engine plates!

I Really appreciate your welding skills., Those custom mounts look strong as and aren't going anywhere.

I was actually a bit surprised it came out that well because that mount is gal and its a biatch with spitting normally!

hahahahahahahah that's gold!

I'm not sure on the 0.xx levels, but I know I had probably had 3-4 beers by the time I did that weld, so your graph seems to be pretty accurate!

That sure is a beautiful weld. Is that your trade area?
