Driverside engine mount changes

In that past week I have started to modify the engine mounts. Don my teacher teached me how to weld. Before we started this project I had not idea how to weld. I cut two pieces of angle iron which I welded to the driverside engine mount. I marked and drilled holes for

the bolts that mount the mount to the frame of the Trooper. The holes were all most lined up

perfectly so I made and holes bigger by cutting them larger with the plasma cutter. To g

et the modified mount in I had to pushed the engine to the left to place the mount. My teacher helped me to place the engine mount bolts because the bolts are in awkward positio

ns. The diverside mount is fully in place.
