    I think I have a set of standard rubber engine mounts if you need them? I am putting solids on mine.

    I now that feeling, got 4 solid days next week to get my brakes, engine and fuel system in mine. Got to finish the engine off tomorrow.

    Practice on some old scrap first before you weld in the bay.
    And a welder is only as good as the welder and if its set up nicely

    ive practiced on a repair panel the only way i can get half decent welds if to do a blob wait for it to turn to a mild orange colour and do another blob half way on top of the last, takes ages but it works :/

    bored of waitng around for other people to weld my bay, its only a vauxhall nova so its a ideal peice of **** to learn on imo



    bought these from screw fix



    flap discs are the mutts nuts, never used one before and fook me do they kick out some sparks



    and just to prove the welds did do something, even if they do look really ****
