Rusted Engine Mount?

I dont know too much about cars but have a FC Holden as i have ALWAYS loved them.
My mechanic warned me to stop driving my FC as one of the bars holding up the engine (dont know what its name is
) is rusted right through on one side. If i go over a bump my engine might fall out.
Does anyone know of any good places in Brisbane that cuts rust out of cars and does a really good job? Also isnt too over prices
Thanks,
Jenna

Hi Jenna bit hard to tell the actual problem from the description you have given is there any chance you could get a photo up of the problem area it will make it a lot easer for the right advise to be given .....FC427......

FCBetty might have a red motor with welded on mounts. These usually look like square bars, welded onto the crossmember.

An area which is prone to rust is the rear engine mount bracket which bolts to the subframe legs.
On the passenger side it usually fills up with mud and rusts through. The driver's side mostly gets oily and doesn't rust.
Hopefully this is what your mechanic is referring to because it is easy to replace. But we really need a confirmation of what the problem is exactly before rushing ahead.
