Haha don't think you will want to pay for the x member I've had made... Need to get more pics, it's all welded in now. He really is a metal magician. He has practicly remade new mounted which are welded to the floorpan very similar to factory. He has then chopped the rubber g/box mounting out of the bracket on the gearbox and welded it into a new bracket. Looks friggin amazing, superceded what I thought was going to be done. His rust repairs also so far are invisible! Would highly recomend, havnt got bill yet though... I'm sure he'll look after me though!! Car now has no rust from rear axle forward which is sweet! I ship to waiheke approx 2weeks from today, really hoping to have it back before then and I know he is too... taking up space stuck on his hoist!! Anyway barn beckoning...

You can have the one I have for cheaps... bolts to seat mounts but needs a new rubber jobbie, Jase McQunt will be able to tell you what kind of vehicle its from if he's still talking to you. CBF loading pic's, come get your other stuff and pay me and check it out.

He did but the advantage for other mofools is the design as you go part is out of the way and he could now just rip straight into it. I have asked and he said he'd need to have a think about price.
