I approve <3 winter is on your ass my friend, any plans for a winter beater to make it through?
Nothing like work out the bugs on a daily trying to get to work.
Looks like that would have just about the same effect as Pedro's and the Tarett mount.
I'm excited to see how this build progresses, maybe it will motivate me to finish my Boxster :P

Check over at Pedro's Garage, he might be able to rebuild your mount. It looks VERY similar to the Boxster front engine mount. I'm using one of his for my 3.4l conversion, they are excellent quality.

I took a picture of the trans mount, which I'm debating on replacing. But definitely going to fill with window weld since there are no aftermarket mounts for this trans.
