I don't like it Pete, I think you should start again bahahaha  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy, just kidding, I better not joke around like that cos u might.

If u did how many times would that be? Just a question, when we were doing my sills/floor, the bit at the bottom front that holds the bead for the interior is cut off and probably saveable but rusty, but I think I would like another bit and tack in. What have you or others done, it looks like u could leave it out for a modified interior??? Near the kick panel.

Why's it called windlace when there is no wind in that part of the car, but at least now I know what it's real name is. Can you send me a pic of what it SHOULD look like. Your shitters are probably better than my second best shitter  Cheesy. If I end up like you, can someone put me out of my misery bahahaha.

Just a couple of plain jane engine mounting brackets Grin

Engine should be mounted tommorow

Drawn by Ryan and Laurie.

Cut and assembled by me this morn.


Yes the edge on one side is chamfered off so i get goo weld penno..







The bush ends are at the chop shop so they will be welded onto each end and the bushes pressed into them.

Should looke cleaner than your average engine mount.

No i didnt  intend going this far.
But i have a problem im never happy with the finish on something and always want to make it better..

I couldnt bare to cut the old girl up but i wasnt happy with what was done either.

Took some mini truckers with no conscious for the classics  to cut the old girl up and teach me not to be scared to start chopping.
I have the machinery at hand so every time we go to do something I or Laurie say what if we did this or are we capable of doing this just keep coming up with more crazy shit..
Its starting to get out of hand but i really really enjoy assembling custom brackets ect just makes it look so much cooler adding detail to everything..

I want people to look at the detail and they spot something different everytime they see it...

I think you can very safely say you've achieved that (and much more!) already...  Smiley Cool

The phrase "pushing the envelope" comes to mind, but you've completely shredded the bloody envelope some time back...

It's going be extremely interesting to watch this build thru to the finish; the surprises just keep on coming!

Maybe you should conduct raffles for brackets and stuff for us 'hackers' if you like making them (in your spare time bahaha),  Cheesy Cheesy Wink Wink. I can see where this is all going to lead in my crystal ball mmmm.....
