Another thought... I wonder if you could make the front trans mount structural? That would keep it removable, just have to think of a way of getting some rubber back in there..

I being working on the trans mount ,either have it welded in and have a neaprene block with longer studs on the trans case to brace things .Or have it removable .got a few ideas at the moment.did you get the double wishbone front end finished .And I haven,t seen you post on aussieveedubbers for a while.

The double wishbone stuff is on hold until I get another car that could use it, would want to do some testing..

I'm on the aussie forum every day checking up on people's progress, but I'm stuck finishing off my Phantom GTR at the moment (new daily driver), after that I'll get back on with the wrx cabrio.
