Oh Hai new page!

Onto the re-making of the driver side engine mount which I also made temporarily to get me to e38

Made a couple of peices to make the mount look as original as possible

Cut away the old temporary mount and plated off the chassis leg

Tested in place

More plating, then some filler

Painted

Made some little rocker cover locking strips out of stainless too

Drilled and cut out

Shown here fitted along with the completed driver side engine mount

Oh yeah, and four branch also fitted

Front engine mount next. Seeing as the engne bay is gradually getting quite blinged up, the front engine mount was looking quite dull and boring. So decided to make it in stainless as well, also using one of the same poly bushes.

After some cardboard mocking up and some measuring, cutting and drilling on stainless plate and tube

Tacked in place and tested on car

welded

Holesawed and polished

Just need to make the other part of the front mount which will bolt to the chassis, but other stuff is a priority at the moment.

Will hopefully update soon, apologies for boring you all with my crap and probably crashing your computers with the sheer number of pics

Hardcore man, 6 hours

All the fabricating is quality

Man, This is what i call a build thread, not just messing about with an engine and wheels etc.

I'm so jealous, Wish i had a decent welder and a garage.

All the fabbing is amazing as well, how much did all the stainless cost you!?

M

This is wicked, would love to be able to weld like that

can i have your skills pleasee ????

awesome biuld dudeee

fucking wow! what did you study at uni?

Gorgeous project you have there and the skills to boot!

Mad fab skills

Cheers for the kind comments fellas

Thanks to Saf, G40 AD and Winston, I now have a serious hankering for a G40 engine Thanks a lot knobheads

As soon as I have got myself some money, one is getting BOUGHT.

Cheers,

Arun

LOL!!!!... Your car + small block boost = The perfect Mk1

Did Saf not blag you to buy the machined ABD pistons & rods he got off tommo? They would work perfectly with the new engine your building. Then you just have to pick your choice of charger

PS.. Polished and coated would be perfect.. Is that how you have done your mounts? <3
