The rear engine mount is ready

I almost forgot this. Getting the Karmann ready meant that we had to move the race taxi from blocking the doorway. The only problem was that the car didn't have a engine mount for the subaru engine and we had measured the engine to be in mounting position. So we had to weld it quickly together to get the Karmann out.

A picture from the inside of the car, so you can see the shape of the engine mount.

And a picture from behind. The engine mount still has to be removed, welded from places that couldn't be reach at this moment, and finished. So the final part wont look like this. On the right side you have to go around the engine, because the cylinder pairs on a boxer engine aren't aligned, the other one is a couple cm more forwards, this means the engine mount had to be made asymmetric.
