Nothing. I know at least the basics of using a computer. I have better things to do with my time than pointing a camera and a bebe gun at a computer and making myself look like a total retard.

Honestly, I'd love to pose with a Bebe gun on camera

I consider using all of the letters of the alphabet a basic computer skill.

You mean BB Gunns?

That's just foul, my pic > yours.

Agreed.

There are several holes in each of those pictures, but does it really matter? Put the bolt back and leave it there. Problem solved,

yes

Swapping cradles is even harder than fixing the alternator.

Have fun dropping the motor on your face.

They haven't made yellow poly in years, that must be old as hell.

Jesus fucking Christ.

The white spot on the roof is oxidized clearcoat. There isn't any way to fix it except to get it repainted..

Sand casting is not forging. Wildly pounding on the red hot metal with a hammer won't do much to help, either. And even if somehow you ended up with something better than a mix of solidified carbon chunks, molten scrap metal of various origins, and impurities, harding it to ~Rc 60 would make a part as brittle as glass. Rc 40 would be a better ballpark, and that's probably a little on the hard side as well, depending on what alloy and what application.

Long story short, there's a really good possibility that HALF the thickness worth of rolled, low carbon bar stock would hold up better, be cheaper, and take less work... Don't bother.

That said, if you want to make some gangster ass engine mounts, machine them out of Cro-Mo steel bar stock of known quality and alloy, and have them heat treated.

why even stress it? You're gonna have 190 horses, stock style mounts are more than good enough. They were designed for abuse and crash safety as well as nice driveability. Solid mounting is just a good way to fatigue the cradle and stress the trans.

No.

yes

You dont want to slow the rust down. That is like putting a bandaid on a cut that needs stitches. The best thing to do is cut out the rusted ares before it reaches unrusted metal. Than buy a welder and weld sheet metal into its place. Do not skip cutting the rust area out or the rust will infect the new sheet metal you put in place.

Its not worth it. The sun beats onto it and causes it to oxidize rather quickley. plus real carbonfiber is going to be expensive.
