+1 to the 'after' pic for comparison with the original damage pic.

Got your eMail and attachment. Here's the pic:

What's the Front Crossmember Vee Mount like after all the heat in that location?

The rubber front chassis mount did start to get hot. At the first sign of "smoulder" we dosed it with a water spray, let it cool down and then carryed on.

I think you were incredibly lucky to find someone of that caliber to do it for that price.

The welding looks very pro to me.

nurquhar did you pull the engine/trans just to do this?
