I spent yesterday digging my garden out with my brother in law to lay a patio. There was a big skip on the drive in front of the garage door, so I couldn’t push the chassis out to work on it, so the body went outside in the heat instead. When I put the engine mounts in, I used the old transmission mount to centre it, which was a mistake, as it was nearly an inch out. Once the transmission was up on the jack, the old crossmember was removed, and an axle stand put in to support it. I cut through the old mounts with the grinder, and then spent an hour or so grinding the remains away as far as the bottom edge which I’ll do when I do the underside of the frame. The new supports needed a trim to allow for the curve of the frame, and then I checked and rechecked the position with the new crossmember in place. A few quick tack welds, then pulled the crossmember and welded it. I cleaned up where I had cut off the bellhousing mounts as well, then sanded it all ready for paint. I sanded the crossmember at the same time, then hung it from the roof and etch primed it and the new mounts. A quick coat of black, with the leftover pant sprayed over the mounts and it was time to call it a day. Next thing to do is pull the motor to finish the frame.
