If you all recall that I bought a 79 fiat from a guy in California
Every thing was Micky mouse put together,anyways the cross member bolt was snapped off and other one was loose, finally I got the piece cut out and I had a friend make a piece to weld in,
But as we cut this section out acorns came rolling out ,8 of them lol
Where is the California squirrel

Re: Cross member
Every time I drive past the house of your car's prior owner, I cringe after hearing your experience with the car. Sounds like you're making progress though!

Re: Cross member
As I was putting the crossmember back in and new mounts, there a piece that bolts onto the mount on the driver side
This triangular metal peice that attach to the motor mount bracket and to the starter, what is that for?
