about the rust.
When I rescued Alice her rear passenger side shock mount had also broken off.... not rusted just cleanly broken away...
I took it to a welder and he refabricated one for only $40... problem was the dumb ass only spot welded it and it broke off two days later taking my muffler with it! Needless to say I took it back and told them to try again... this time I watched the guy seam weld it and then being evil and a little PO'd a batted my eyes at the fire jock and asked him about the other side (plainly starting to crack)... he gushed and seam welded that side too and then welded a steel bar across the back... said it should out last the rest of the car...
I thanked him and drove off knowing full well that the owner of the shop would have most likely charged me for it (even tho I had to tow the damn thing in because of THEIR shoddy job!)
