Re: '88 F*rd Festiva Autocross/Track/Daily Driver Build
For the front mount I made a paper template, then transfered that to 1/8" steel plate.
Made a couple bends on the brake, drilled the mounting holes, and welded the plate to the spacer plate on the urethane mount.
Since the car will have air I used the plasma cutter to open up the area around the compressor. I didn't butcher it as badly as it looks, I'll make a reinforced lower radiator support to go back in.
Test fit the bumper to check clearances.
Engine bolted in it's final position with the new mounts. There's plenty of firewall clearance for air filter and syncing the carbs with a flow gauge.
I'll be busy all day tomorrow but I'll try to make the lower radiator support on Wednesday and tear down the B6ze and B6t later this week.
