Hell Hole Repair, even a rusted out motor mount! Options

[McMark]

I just finished up the rust repair on a car for a member. Thought ya'll might like to see. This car had a rusted out motor mount. I've seen rust behind the motor mounts on both six cylinder conversions where we removed the 4 cylinder mounts. I'm pretty sure that a good number of cars have rust behind the mounts. Not a big deal usually but this car the rust had come through the mount and left a gaping hole. So it had to go.

Here is the area once the engine shelf and the motor mount had been removed.

There were three areas that needed attention on this car. Nice clean cuts are the key to a nice repair. Rust converter was applied liberally and then weld through primer.

Zap Zap Zap. Everything is in place. Used a mount bar to make sure the mount went in the right place.

Now comes the battery tray. This baby is welded in TIGHT!

And finally comes paint!!! The car already had pretty nice paint, so we just did the affected area.

Here it is in place. It's a little rough but it's completely hidden from view by the motor mount/engine shelf/battery tray so I wasn't going to make him pay for me to make it pretty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
