not a bad day of work and seeing behind the jack point was a bummer but I've seen worse fix in threads here.

Question, a few holes I.m not sure are factory

1, driverside headlight bucket. PO work I'm thinking

2, front driverside trunk. PO again?

Thanks

The holes in 1 look like PO TLC.

The big hole on the left in 2 looks like the same hole I have on my 4 for the hose that goes from the spare tire to the washer bottle to pressurize it. This may have been present on 6 chassis as well. Not sure about the small hole on the right.

Head light bucket holes are definately PO. Flatten (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) a piece of copper tubing and clamp it in for a backer and weld (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) those up.

At least there wasn't a family of mice in the long Like a -6 , I SOLD.

Andy, I dont know your wheel plans , make sure you have equal room R & L for down the road, My car , to put the 15x9's on with 245/50's x 15's took a considerable amount of rework/paint on one flair to get them to fit.

Question to the group...

I had every intention to use the factory -6 engine mount for the 3.0 motor. Will I ever be able to really drive the car hard or will it fail? options on reinforcing it or just order a coversion mount (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

should be around 240hp

Thanks

Factory GT's used the factory mount with reinforcements. There are pictures available. Armando did it to his and I think Eric Shea did also. I would go that way - way cool!

I would make your own and use 1/8", much stronger. This is what we did http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/my9146gt_chass...t_install_right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
