OK in order to get the front motor mounts, removed homemade bracket from exhaust pipe. Next step was to drop the tranny crossmember to fix that mount. Removed the exhaust system and found it is shot so I will get a new system (cracked near manifold with multiple old welds, broken mounts, and half crushed muffler), then pulling the crossmember found it was not put together at all correctly with no bolts in parts and shot bushings, then looking at crossmember see it is tweeked in multiple different directions. This is obviously remnant of the crash this car was in sometime in the past. I found the exhaust system on Moss for reasonable price, I am now looking for a replacement cross member. I found some outfit on Ebay called "British Masters" who has one for my model year. The unit is used and $90, they say location is in California, I will find out today when I call them. Does anyone have a contact for used parts? The bank account is taking a hit, but I figure while I'm here better get it right, want to spend time on the road not on my back under the car.
