impressions



Al, you are such an EE.

The top of the mount couldn't have been flattened by force from the mount.  
Stretched maybe, but not flattened.  The mount was beat fiercely with a 
hammer because the engine mount didn't line up right with the frame when 
they installed the 1.8t.  Brian and I got the bolt through it by pushing on 
the inner part of the mount with a screwdriver while he pushed the bolt 
through.  They beat the crap out of it with a sledge to make it work.  
Slightly different approach.

Anyone thinking of using these guys for a swap should take note of this and 
a few other things.

Still, it works, and the car is dang fast.  It's going to eat engine mounts 
like nobodie's business, but it's fast!
